Audit a web page's images: natural vs rendered sizes, oversized detection, and formats.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

imagedimensions-mcp
An MCP server that audits the images on any public web page — natural vs. rendered dimensions, oversized-image detection, and format breakdown — so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) can check image performance during development.
Powered by imagedimensions.com. The scan runs server-side, so no local browser or Chrome install is required.

Tool
scan_image_dimensions
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
url | string (required) | Public URL of the page to audit. |
oversizedThreshold | number (optional) | Area-overshoot ratio to flag as oversized. Default 4 (≈2× per dimension). |
Returns a text report plus structured content:
- total / visible image counts and CSS-background count
- modern-format share (WebP + AVIF)
- format breakdown
- the list of oversized images (natural → rendered, overshoot ratio, format, src)
- a link to the full visual report on imagedimensions.com
Example agent uses: "Audit the images on https://example.com," "Which images on this page are oversized and hurting LCP?", "What % of this site's images use modern formats?"
Why "oversized" matters
An image downloaded much larger than the box it renders into wastes bandwidth and slows Largest Contentful Paint — the most common image-performance mistake on the web. See the writeup.
