🖥️ MCP Server

• The MCP Server is a local server that acts as a bridge between your AI agents and the IMG Processing API.
• It allows you to run AI agents locally and interact with the API without exposing your API key.
• The server handles authentication, request routing, and response parsing, making it easy to integrate with your AI agents.

    export IMG_PROCESSING_API_KEY="My API Key"
    npx -y img-processing-mcp@latest

    {
        "mcpServers": {
            "img_processing_sdk_api": {
                "command": "npx",
                "args": ["-y", "img-processing-mcp", "--client=claude", "--tools=dynamic"],
                "env": {
                    "IMG_PROCESSING_API_KEY": "My API Key"
                }
            }
        }
    }

​

🛠️ Node SDK

• Simplified authentication and request handling.
• Easy-to-use methods for all API endpoints.
• Built-in error handling and response parsing.

1. Install the SDK via npm:
   Copy

   npm install img-processing-sdk
   

2. Import and configure it in your Node.js application:
   Copy

    import ImgProcessing from 'img-processing-sdk';
   
    const client = new ImgProcessing({
        apiKey: process.env['IMG_PROCESSING_API_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted
    });
   
    const imageObject = await client.images.retrieve('image_etm0g3x5iap4cld1qcfsjvo2');
   
    console.log(imageObject.id);

🚀 Larger Images Available

• Based on your feedback, we’ve increased the maximum image size to 10,000×10,000 pixels.
• This is especially useful for high-resolution photos from cameras or smartphones, and advanced tasks like background removal.

​

🤖 Open API Specification

• The OpenAPI spec provides a machine-readable format describing all API endpoints, request/response formats, authentication, and more.
• You can now explore the API interactively using tools like Swagger UI or Postman.
• Generate client libraries automatically for your preferred language.
• Always have access to the latest, most accurate API documentation.

​

📚 New Guides Section

• Step-by-step tutorials for common tasks like image resizing, background removal, and format conversion.
• Best practices for optimizing image processing workflows.
• Tips for integrating the API with popular frameworks and languages.
