- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Design, Websites & CMS](https://mcp.tc/c/design)
- Vendor: ImageKit

## About

Connects an assistant to the ImageKit digital asset management (DAM) media library. You can search assets, upload files, organize folders, tag and share assets, and manage custom metadata fields and access control. The docs also mention AI tasks such as tagging and metadata extraction on assets.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam. Users sign in with their ImageKit account through OAuth. The scopes cover reading, writing, updating and deleting media library items, custom metadata fields and cache.

## What it can do

- Search the media library with Lucene queries
- Upload files to the media library
- Organize and tag assets
- Manage custom metadata fields
- Control access to files and folders
- Run AI tagging and metadata extraction tasks on assets

## Example prompts

- "Find all images in my ImageKit library tagged summer-sale."
- "Upload this product photo to the /catalog folder in ImageKit."
- "Add a custom metadata field called Photographer to my media library."
- "Tag every untagged asset in the /blog folder using AI tagging."

## Install

### Claude Code

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

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

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **imagekit-dam** 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 DAM** and paste this URL:

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

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%20DAM&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fimagekit.io%2Fmcp%2Fdam>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam` 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/dam` 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-dam&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ltYWdla2l0LmlvL21jcC9kYW0ifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

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

`mcp.json`:

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

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-dam&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fimagekit.io%2Fmcp%2Fdam%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

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

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

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

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

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-dam": {
      "serverUrl": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam"
    }
  }
}
```

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-dam --url https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam
codex mcp login imagekit-dam
```

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

`config.toml`:

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

### Gemini CLI

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

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth imagekit-dam` 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-dam": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam"
    }
  }
}
```

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/dam`.
