Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Formatika MCP for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "formatika": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@formatika/mcp" ], "env": { "FORMATIKA_API_KEY": "your-value" } } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For FORMATIKA_API_KEY, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Formatika MCP tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is Formatika MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

You need to fill in: FORMATIKA_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@formatika/mcp

Convert, resize, compress, crop and rotate files straight from your agent, using formatika.app.

Your agent gets the tools; the files stay on your machine until a job needs them and come back as soon as it is done.

Use it

No installation and no account needed to start:

npx @formatika/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add formatika -- npx -y @formatika/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

Add this to the MCP servers section of the client configuration:

"mcpServers": { "formatika": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@formatika/mcp"] } } }

On Windows, Claude Desktop launches the server without a shell and cannot find npx directly. Use this instead:

"mcpServers": { "formatika": { "command": "cmd", "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@formatika/mcp"] } } }

Fully restart the client after editing the configuration.

Then just ask

Compress every photo in ./screenshots and put the results in ./web

Convert all the HEIC files in this folder to JPEG

Make a square 512×512 avatar out of portrait.png

Tools

The tool list comes from the service at start-up, so it never lags behind what formatika can actually do — this README does not have to be updated for a new tool to appear in your agent.

Today that is images, audio, video, PDF, archives, subtitles and tables: over thirty tools. The current list, with what each one does, is at formatika.app/mcp.

Every tool takes paths — one or more files — and an optional outputDir. Results are written next to the source file unless you say otherwise, and existing files are never overwritten: a name that is taken gets a number.

Limits and keys

Without a key you get a daily allowance, which is enough for occasional work. For volume, create a key at formatika.app/account and pass it in:

"mcpServers": { "formatika": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@formatika/mcp"], "env": { "FORMATIKA_API_KEY": "fk_..." } } } }

FORMATIKA_URL points the server somewhere else — useful if you run formatika yourself.

Privacy

Files are processed and deleted: two hours without an account, twenty-four hours with one. They are not looked at, not shared and not used to train anything. See the privacy policy.

About this repository

This is a read-only mirror of the packages/mcp directory of the formatika monorepo, published so that the package has a public home: catalogues link to it, and people who read code before installing it can do so.

Pull requests here cannot be merged — the next sync would overwrite them. Issues, however, are read and welcome: bugs, missing tools, awkward APIs.
