What can you do with Tool Pantry?

  • search_tools — find the exact tool page for a request ("compress image to 100kb", "merge pdf", "heic to jpg") so an agent can hand over a working link instead of generic advice.
  • Small stateless helpers — text stats, hashing, UUIDs, passwords, JSON formatting, Base64, colour conversion and QR codes, all served by the same public API.

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).

claude mcp add --transport http tool-pantry 'https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp'

Tool Pantry MCP Server

An MCP server for Tool Pantry — 216 free browser tools for PDF, images, video, audio and text that process files entirely in the user's browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, no watermark and no file-size limit.

The server has two jobs:

  1. search_tools — find the exact tool page for a request ("compress image to 100kb", "merge pdf", "heic to jpg") so an agent can hand over a working link instead of generic advice.
  2. Small stateless helpers — text stats, hashing, UUIDs, passwords, JSON formatting, Base64, colour conversion and QR codes, all served by the same public API.

Zero dependencies, ~200 lines, runs on any Node 18+.

Listed in the official MCP registry

io.github.wu736139669/toolpantry-mcp
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=io.github.wu736139669/toolpantry-mcp"

Use it over HTTP

The same server runs on Cloudflare Workers at https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp (streamable HTTP, stateless):

curl -X POST https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

https://mcp.toolpantry.app/ returns a small health/capability JSON.

Install

# Claude Desktop / Claude Code (stdio)
npx -y toolpantry-mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "toolpantry": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "toolpantry-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Run from a checkout:

git clone https://github.com/wu736139669/toolpantry-mcp.git
node toolpantry-mcp/mcp-server.mjs

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_toolsSearch the 216-tool catalog; returns the tool name, URL and description
text_statsCharacters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, reading time
hash_textSHA-1 / SHA-256 / SHA-384 / SHA-512 digests (hex + base64)

generate_passwordRandom passwords from the platform crypto RNG
json_formatValidate, pretty-print or minify JSON
base64Encode or decode UTF-8 text
color_convertHex colour to RGB and HSL
qr_codeQR code as SVG for any text or URL

Install

Every tool is a thin wrapper over the public, key-free API at https://toolpantry.app/api — the same endpoints are documented in the API reference. Point the server somewhere else with TOOLPANTRY_API=https://toolpantry.app/api.

Why a tool directory needs an MCP server

Most "AI tool" directories are chat boxes. A file task is not a chat task: the agent should not ask the user to upload a passport scan to a stranger's server. Tool Pantry's whole premise is that the work happens in the user's own tab, so the agent's job is only to pick the right URL and hand it over.
