@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

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.
