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

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "image-viewer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "inchat-image-viewer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add image-viewer -- npx -y inchat-image-viewer-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "image-viewer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "inchat-image-viewer-mcp"

Common questions

Is Image Viewer safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 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 –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 10 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?

InChat Image Viewer MCP

The Problem: GitHub Copilot Chat can't see images from file paths—only drag-and-drop works, breaking your workflow.

The Solution: Give AI the file path in plain text, and it sees the image instantly using this MCP.

Why This Exists

What DOESN'T Work in VS Code Copilot Chat

❌ Plain file paths → AI can't see them

Show me C:\screenshots\bug.png

*Result: AI sees text, not the image*

❌ `#file:` references → Unreliable for images

#file:screenshot.png

*Result: Empty - AI sees nothing*

✅ Drag-and-drop → Works, but manual and disruptive *Result: AI sees image as base64 attachment, but you have to manually drag every single image*

What This MCP Solves

✅ Plain file paths with MCP → AI sees images instantly

#image-viewer Show me C:\screenshots\bug.png

*Result: AI calls view_image tool and displays the image inline—no manual steps*

How It Works: Before vs After

WITHOUT InChat Image Viewer MCP

You: "Analyze C:\test-results\failure-screenshot.png"

AI receives:

<attachments></attachments>  <!-- Empty! -->

Just sees the text path—no image data.

What you have to do: Stop, drag the file into chat, drop it, then ask again.

WITH InChat Image Viewer MCP

You: "#image-viewer Analyze C:\test-results\failure-screenshot.png"

AI receives:

"content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "Image: failure-screenshot.png (124,433 bytes)" }, { "type": "image", "data": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAB4AAAAQ4CAIAAABnsVYU...", "mimeType": "image/png" } ] }

AI sees the full image inline automatically.

What you do: Nothing extra—just type naturally with #image-viewer.

Features

📸 Path-to-image: Type the path, AI sees the image
🖼️ Multi-format: PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP
⚡ Zero-config: npx inchat-image-viewer-mcp just works
🔌 Works with: VS Code Copilot Chat, Claude Desktop

Quick Start

1. Install (Optional)

npm install -g inchat-image-viewer-mcp

or use npx (no install needed)

2. Add to Your AI Tool

VS Code Copilot Chat – mcp.json:

"servers": { "image-viewer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["inchat-image-viewer-mcp"] } } }

Claude Desktop – Config file (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

"mcpServers": { "image-viewer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["inchat-image-viewer-mcp"] } } }

3. Restart

Reload VS Code or restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server.

Usage Examples

#image-viewer What's in C:\Users\me\screenshot.png?

#image-viewer Compare before.jpg and after.jpg in the results folder

#image-viewer Debug this error screenshot: D:\projects\test-failures\2026-01-20.png

The AI automatically uses the view_image tool—no manual attachment needed.
