upload

Upload images, videos, or raw files to Cloudinary via the MCP server. Supports chunked uploads for large files, customizable public IDs, and optional overwrite or tagging for better asset management.

Instructions

Upload media (images/videos) to Cloudinary. For large files, the upload is processed in chunks and returns a streaming response. The uploaded asset will be available at:

HTTP: http://res.cloudinary.com/{cloud_name}/{resource_type}/upload/v1/{public_id}.{format}
HTTPS: https://res.cloudinary.com/{cloud_name}/{resource_type}/upload/v1/{public_id}.{format} where cloud_name='dadljfaoz', resource_type is 'image' or 'video', and format is determined by the file extension.
