      "args": ["-y", "@tinify-ai/mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

No signup required. Works out of the box with 20 free daily credits.

Client-Specific Setup

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tinify-ai/mcp-server@latest"]
    }

Tool: `optimize_image`

Optimizes an image with smart lossy compression (typically 60-80% size reduction), optional resize/upscale/format conversion, and AI-generated SEO metadata. Accepts absolute local file paths or remote URLs.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`input`	string	Yes	—	Absolute local file path or remote URL
`output_path`	string	No	auto	File path or directory (ending in `/`). If omitted: saves next to original with SEO slug or `.tinified` suffix
`output_format`	string	No	original	`jpg`, `png`, `webp`, `avif`, `gif`, or `original`
`output_width_px`	int	No	—	Target width in pixels
`output_height_px`	int	No	—	Target height in pixels
`output_upscale_factor`	int	No	—	AI upscale factor: `2` (2×) or `4` (4×)
`output_resize_behavior`	string	No	pad	`pad` (white padding) or `crop` (smart crop). Only used when both width and height are set
`output_seo_tag_gen`	bool	No	true	Generate SEO metadata and rename file to SEO slug. Costs 1 extra credit
`output_file_size_limit`	int	No	—	Target maximum output file size in bytes. Server attempts to meet this via additional compression. Not guaranteed
`gif_frame_limit`	int	No	100	Max frames to process for animated GIFs (1–100). Reduces credit cost by sampling fewer frames
`confirm_gif_cost`	bool	No	—	Set to `true` to proceed after reviewing the animated GIF cost warning. Required for animated GIFs

Resize Behavior

Dimensions provided	Behavior	`output_resize_behavior`
Width only	Proportional scale	N/A
Height only	Proportional scale	N/A
Width + Height	Exact dimensions, white padding	`pad` (default)
Width + Height	Exact dimensions, smart crop	`crop`

Examples

Basic compression — just compress, keep format and dimensions:

{ "input": "/Users/me/photos/hero.png" }

Convert to WebP:

{ "input": "/Users/me/hero.png", "output_format": "webp" }

Resize proportionally — set one dimension, the other scales:

{ "input": "/Users/me/hero.png", "output_width_px": 1200 }

Exact dimensions with padding — white bars fill the gap:

{ "input": "/Users/me/hero.png", "output_width_px": 1080, "output_height_px": 1080 }

Exact dimensions with smart crop:

{ "input": "/Users/me/hero.png", "output_width_px": 1080, "output_height_px": 1080, "output_resize_behavior": "crop" }

AI upscale 4x:

{ "input": "/Users/me/icon.png", "output_upscale_factor": 4 }

From URL, save to directory:

{ "input": "https://example.com/photo.jpg", "output_path": "/Users/me/assets/" }

Skip SEO to save 1 credit:

{ "input": "/Users/me/hero.png", "output_seo_tag_gen": false }

Output

Returns a text summary and structured metadata:

Optimized: /Users/me/photos/modern-office-workspace.webp
Size: 142.3 KB
Compression: 73%
Format: webp
Dimensions: 1920x1080
Alt text: Modern office workspace with laptop and coffee cup on wooden desk

Structured output fields:

{
  "output_path": "/Users/me/photos/modern-office-workspace.webp",
  "output_size_bytes": 145715,
  "output_width_px": 1920,
  "output_height_px": 1080,
  "output_format": "webp",
  "compression_ratio": 0.27,
  "seo_alt_text": "Modern office workspace with laptop and coffee cup on wooden desk",
  "seo_keywords": ["office", "workspace", "laptop", "desk", "modern"],
  "seo_filename": "modern-office-workspace"
}

Supported Formats

Format	Input	Output	Notes
JPG	Yes	Yes
PNG	Yes	Yes
WebP	Yes	Yes
AVIF	Yes	Yes
GIF	Yes	Yes	Animated GIFs preserved when output is GIF
SVG	Yes	Yes	SVG→SVG optimized via SVGO; raster↔SVG conversion supported
ICO	Yes	Yes	Smart rebuild: generates 16, 24, 32, 48, 256px favicon set
HEIC/HEIF	Yes*	No	Auto-converted to JPG at upload
TIFF	Yes*	No	Auto-converted to JPG at upload
BMP	Yes*	No	Auto-converted to JPG at upload

tinify.ai supports high-quality conversion between any input and output format combination. Converting an animated GIF to a non-GIF format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) preserves only the first frame. Converting an animated GIF to a GIF format supports upscaling/resizing while preserving the animation and quality. You may also reduce animated GIF file size by decreasing the number of output frames.

Max upload file size: 50 MB.

SVG & ICO Examples

# Optimize an SVG file (keeps as vector)
Optimize logo.svg and keep it as SVG

# Convert SVG to raster
Convert icon.svg to a 512x512 PNG

# Trace raster to vector SVG
Convert my logo.png to a vector SVG

# Generate favicon set from any image
Convert logo.png to an ICO favicon

# Generate single-size ICO
Convert logo.png to a 32x32 ICO

# Extract largest icon from ICO
Convert favicon.ico to PNG

How It Works

Local file or URL
  → Upload to Tinify.ai API
    → Smart compression (lossy, typically 60-80% reduction)
    → AI SEO tag generation (alt text, keywords, filename)
    → Optional: resize, upscale, format conversion
  → Download optimized file
    → Save with SEO filename slug (or .tinified suffix if SEO disabled)

All processing happens server-side via the Tinify.ai API. The MCP server is a thin client that orchestrates the pipeline.

Tips for AI Agents

Paste this into your CLAUDE.md or system prompt to help agents use the tool effectively:

## Tinify.ai MCP

Tools: optimize_image, login, logout, status, upgrade

- Use status to check credits before batch processing
- Each optimize_image call costs 3 credits + 1 if SEO enabled (default)
- Guest: 20 credits/day. Free account: 50/day. Pro: 3,000/month.
- Always use absolute file paths, not relative.
- Set only width OR height for proportional resize. Set both for exact dimensions.
- When both dimensions are set, use output_resize_behavior: "crop" for photos, "pad" for logos/icons.
- output_seo_tag_gen (default true) renames the file to an SEO slug and generates alt text + keywords.
- Set output_seo_tag_gen: false to save 1 credit when SEO metadata is not needed.
- GIF is supported for both input and output; animated GIFs stay animated when output_format is "gif".
- Converting an animated GIF to jpg/png/webp/avif preserves only the first frame.
- HEIC, TIFF, BMP inputs are auto-converted to JPG.
- For batch processing, call optimize_image once per file.
- If credits run out, use login to sign in or upgrade to open pricing.

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing in tool list:

Restart your MCP client after editing the config
Ensure Node.js >= 18 is installed: node --version
Try running directly: npx -y @tinify-ai/mcp-server@latest (should start without errors)

"Insufficient credits" error:

Use the status tool to check remaining credits
Use the login tool to sign in for more credits (free accounts get 50/day)
Use the upgrade tool to see paid plans (Pro: 3,000/month, Max: 10,000/month)
Disable SEO tags (output_seo_tag_gen: false) to reduce cost to 3 credits/image

Login browser window doesn't open:

Open this URL manually: https://tinify.ai/mcp/authorize and enter the code shown in the terminal
Ensure a browser is installed and accessible

Session token issues:

Session data is stored at ~/.tinify/session.json
Delete this file to reset and start fresh
Use logout then login to re-authenticate

File not found:

Use absolute paths for local files
For URLs, ensure the image is publicly accessible

Timeout errors:

Large images or AI upscaling can take 30-60 seconds
The server has a 60-second timeout per job
