Adds 33 image processing tools to Claude, split across local operations, free AI features, and paid generation. The local tier handles resizing, cropping, format conversion, watermarking, and blur effects without any API calls. Free AI tools give you 3 daily uses of background removal, upscaling, text removal, and image analysis. Paid tiers unlock product photography with AI avatars and virtual try-on at 1 credit per image. Install via uvx or pip, runs entirely offline for local tools. Useful when you need batch image work in a chat interface instead of switching to Photoshop or Figma for basic edits and transformations.
AI image processing tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.
33 tools across three tiers — from free local image editing to AI-powered product photography.
