What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • tinypng_compress_image

    WRITE (uses quota): ask TinyPNG (Tinify) to fetch a public image by URL and compress it (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL). Returns the output_url (Tinify's Location address of the compressed image), the compressed size and type, the savings when the input size is known, and the

  • tinypng_transform_image

    WRITE (uses quota): apply a resize, a format conversion and/or metadata preservation to an image compressed earlier (the output_url from tinypng_compress_image, valid about 48 hours). Returns the resulting type, byte size, width, height and Compression-Count; the image itself is

  • tinypng_download_image

    Fetch the compressed image of an earlier tinypng_compress_image (its output_url, valid about 48 hours) and return it as an image with its type, byte size, width and height. Images over 1 MB are described but not returned inline. Downloading does not use extra compression quota. G

  • tinypng_get_usage

    How many compressions your Tinify API key has used this calendar month (the Compression-Count header), and whether the key is valid. The check sends an empty request that Tinify refuses, so nothing is compressed and no quota is used. Compare with your Tinify plan (the free plan i

Common questions

Is TinyPNG MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.26.2) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

TinyPNG MCP by usefulapi

Use TinyPNG from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — compress an image by URL, resize or convert the result (WebP, AVIF, PNG, JPEG), download it, and check how many compressions your key used this month. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own TinyPNG credentials.

Live endpoint: https://tinypng.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/tinypng

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://tinypng.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http tinypng https://tinypng.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "tinypng": { "url": "https://tinypng.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your TinyPNG credentials.
