# ImageKit Admin MCP server

> Manage ImageKit origins, URL endpoints, account usage and usage analytics from your AI assistant.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/imagekit-admin
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Cloud & DevOps](https://mcp.tc/c/cloud-devops)
- Vendor: ImageKit
- Homepage: <https://imagekit.io/docs/build-with-ai>
- Repository: <https://github.com/imagekit-developer/skills>

## About

Connects to your ImageKit account to handle administrative settings. You can manage origins (external storage), manage URL endpoints, and check account usage and usage analytics. The OAuth scopes cover read, write, update and delete on origins and URL endpoints, plus read access to usage.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin. Users sign in with their ImageKit account through OAuth, and no local package is needed. ImageKit also offers separate DAM and DevTools servers for media library work and documentation search.

## What it can do

- Manage origins that point to external storage
- Create and edit URL endpoints
- Delete origins and URL endpoints
- Check account usage
- View usage analytics

## Example prompts

- "List the origins configured in my ImageKit account"
- "Add a new URL endpoint for my staging site in ImageKit"
- "Show my ImageKit usage for this month"
- "Which URL endpoints use my S3 origin in ImageKit?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http imagekit-admin https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **imagekit-admin** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the ImageKit sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **ImageKit Admin** and paste this URL:

```url
https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when ImageKit asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=ImageKit%20Admin&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fimagekit.io%2Fmcp%2Fadmin>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when ImageKit asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to ImageKit to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=imagekit-admin&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ltYWdla2l0LmlvL21jcC9hZG1pbiJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit-admin": {
      "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=imagekit-admin&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fimagekit.io%2Fmcp%2Fadmin%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"imagekit-admin","type":"http","url":"https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "imagekit-admin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit-admin": {
      "serverUrl": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add imagekit-admin --url https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin
codex mcp login imagekit-admin
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.imagekit-admin]
url = "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http imagekit-admin https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth imagekit-admin` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit-admin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin`.
