Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Compress images, PDFs, video, audio, documents & archives via micompress.com

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: MICOMPRESS_API_KEY, X-API-Key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "micompress": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "MICOMPRESS_API_KEY",
        "docker.io/huuhuybn/micompress-mcp:0.1.2"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MICOMPRESS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http micompress https://micompress.com/mcp --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add micompress --env MICOMPRESS_API_KEY=your-value -- docker run -i --rm -e MICOMPRESS_API_KEY docker.io/huuhuybn/micompress-mcp:0.1.2

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "micompress": {
      "url": "https://micompress.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

      "env": {
        "MICOMPRESS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }

}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "micompress": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://micompress.com/mcp",

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • MICOMPRESS_API_KEY secret env
    Optional personal API key from https://micompress.com/account (bigger files, monthly allowance).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • compress_file_from_url

    Download a file from a public URL, compress it on micompress.com and return a download link to the smaller file (valid 24 hours) with the size before and after. Works for images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC, RAW…), PDF, video, audio, Office documents, EPUB and archives. Accepts dir

  • get_compression_result

    Get the result of a compression started by compress_file_from_url, by the job_id it returned (kept for 2 hours). Use it when that call reported the job as still processing; returns the download link once it is done.

  • list_supported_formats

    List the file extensions MiCompress can compress, grouped by category, with the size limit for this connection.

Common questions

Is MiCompress 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: MICOMPRESS_API_KEY, X-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 2 days ago.

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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Figma Context MCP, Claude Real Video, Figma MCP Server

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.

micompress-mcp

An MCP server that lets AI agents compress images, PDFs, video, audio, documents & archives.

Powered by micompress.com.

Ask your assistant *"compress the screenshots in ./assets"* and it will — no manual upload, no separate tool. Works with any Model Context Protocol client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others.

Hosted server (no install)

MiCompress also runs as a remote MCP server at `https://micompress.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in). It compresses files by URL and returns a download link, so it suits Claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients that cannot run local commands. Docs: micompress.com/mcp-server.

claude mcp add --transport http micompress https://micompress.com/mcp

For files on your own disk, use the local server below.

Setup (local server)

Claude Code
claude mcp add micompress -- npx -y micompress-mcp
Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json on Desktop):

{

"mcpServers": { "micompress": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "micompress-mcp"] } } }

API key (optional)

Without a key the server works anonymously, within per-type size limits. For bigger files, sign in (free) at https://micompress.com/account, copy your personal key (mc_…) and pass it as the MICOMPRESS_API_KEY environment variable. The key stays in the server's environment — it is never sent to the model.

claude mcp add micompress -e MICOMPRESS_API_KEY=mc_yourkey -- npx -y micompress-mcp
{

"mcpServers": { "micompress": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "micompress-mcp"], "env": { "MICOMPRESS_API_KEY": "mc_yourkey" } } } }

With a key, files up to 100 MB are accepted. A free account includes 50 compressions/month through the API; Plus ($9.99/mo) includes 1,000/month and Pro ($19.99/mo) 5,000/month, shared with website usage. When the allowance runs out the tool returns API_QUOTA_REACHED (free) or USAGE_LIMIT_REACHED (paid) — see https://micompress.com/plans.

Tools

compress_file

Compresses a file and writes the smaller version to disk.

InputDescription
path *(required)*File to compress
output_pathWhere to write it. Defaults to the input path with a -min suffix. Pass the input path to overwrite in place.
presetlossless · recommended (default) · extreme
max_widthImages only — resize down to this width in pixels

Returns the size before and after, plus the output path. The file bytes are never returned to the model — only the summary, so a large file can't flood the context window.

list_supported_formats

Lists every accepted extension, grouped by category.

Supported formats

CategoryFormats
Imagejpg, png, webp, gif, bmp, tiff, avif, svg, heic, psd, dng, raw, cr2, arw, nef
PDF / Docspdf, docx, xlsx, pptx, doc, ppt, xls, epub, odt, ods, html, csv, txt, rtf
Videomp4, mov, avi, mkv, webm, m4v, wmv, flv
Audiomp3, wav, flac, ogg, m4a, aac, opus
Archivezip, 7z, tar, gz

Full list: https://micompress.com/all-tools

How it works

Files are uploaded over HTTPS to micompress.com and compressed with the same engine the website uses (mozjpeg, pngquant, gifski, Ghostscript, ffmpeg, …), then written back to disk. Anonymous use works within per-type size limits (images 20MB, video 50MB, …); set MICOMPRESS_API_KEY for files up to 100MB.

Point it at files you're comfortable sending to a third-party service. The agent passes a path; the file's contents leave your machine.

Requirements

Node.js >= 18
