Teams can input natural language into their AI assistants to access ImageKit API functionality for faster and automated media workflows.

NEWARK, Del.: #AIAssistants--ImageKit, a unified image and video API platform with integrated Digital Asset Management (DAM), today announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, enabling developers and creative teams to interact with ImageKit APIs through their favorite AI assistants or other MCP-compatible clients. By providing a standardized and secure way to access ImageKit APIs, teams can now automate media processing and management, creating intelligent workflows without manually using the ImageKit dashboard or writing code.

Users can choose to connect through an OAuth-hosted remote MCP server, managed and maintained by ImageKit, to reduce operational overhead, or deploy the MCP server locally for enhanced security and greater configuration control.

“From development and design to marketing and sales, AI assistants are rapidly becoming integral to how teams work today,” said Manu Chaudhary, co-founder & CTO, ImageKit. “Our MCP server extends ImageKit’s core capabilities into this new AI ecosystem, enabling secure, intelligent, and context-aware access to media operations and transformations from within popular tools like Claude or Cursor. It’s about giving end users the power of ImageKit through the same interfaces where they already think, code, or create.”

Unlock smarter, faster media workflows with ImageKit’s MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to interact with APIs in a secure and standardized way through natural-language prompts. With ImageKit’s MCP Server, teams can now use assistants like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf to complete a wide range of media tasks, from updating tags to transforming assets, simply by prompting them. Every operation happens securely through ImageKit’s APIs, turning manual, time-consuming work into intelligent, automated workflows.

Here’s how teams benefit:

• Automate repetitive media tasks: Instantly create folders, search files, and update tags, add metadata, and add or remove tags across files without manually using the dashboard.
• Streamline creative production: Resize, crop, remove backgrounds, or apply transformations for media assets directly through AI assistants.
• Account insights and reporting: Retrieve media library storage details, number of extensions used, video processing units consumed, and bandwidth usage, all with a single prompt.

ImageKit has been steadily integrating AI-powered capabilities into its image and video API and Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform, enabling users to perform advanced media transformations such as generative fill, smart cropping for images and videos, background replacement, and AI-based image generation. Also, ImageKit’s new image editor enables users to bulk edit images effortlessly, combining multiple transformations, previewing changes in real time, and instantly generating ready-to-use image URLs or downloadable final versions.

With ImageKit’s new MCP Server that connects ImageKit APIs to the AI ecosystem, your AI assistant can now become a powerful extension of your media team, automating workflows, boosting productivity, and helping you deliver flawless visuals faster than ever.
