What you can do with the Imagekit MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the purge cache tool in Imagekit
  • Use the upload file tool in Imagekit
  • Use the get file metadata tool in Imagekit
  • Use the manage folders tool in Imagekit
  • Use the manage custom metadata fields tool in Imagekit
  • Use the manage file versions tool in Imagekit

Supported Tools

purge_cache

Purge Cache

Purge the CDN cache for a specific asset URL, or check the status of a pending purge request. Use this when you need to invalidate a cached version of an asset after updating it.

upload_file

Upload File

Upload a file to the ImageKit Media Library from a URL or Base64-encoded data. Supports setting tags, folder destination, custom metadata, privacy settings, and AI extensions during upload.

get_file_metadata

Get File Metadata

Retrieve available technical metadata for an image, audio, or video, including dimensions, format, EXIF data, duration, bitrate, and codecs. Lookup by file ID or ImageKit URL.

manage_folders

Manage Folders

Create, delete, copy, or move folders in the ImageKit Media Library. Copy and move operations on folders are asynchronous and return a job ID that can be checked with the returned bulk job ID.

manage_custom_metadata_fields

Manage Custom Metadata Fields

Create, list, update, or delete custom metadata field definitions in the ImageKit Media Library. Custom metadata fields can be of types: Text, Textarea, Number, Date, Boolean, SingleSelect, MultiSelect.

manage_file_versions

Manage File Versions

List, get details, delete, or restore file versions. ImageKit maintains version history for files, allowing you to view previous versions and restore them.

manage_tags

Manage Tags

Add or remove tags from one or more files in bulk. Supports adding custom tags, removing custom tags, and removing AI-generated tags.

get_file

Get File Details

Retrieve detailed information about a file including its metadata, tags, dimensions, URL, custom metadata, and version info.

delete_files

Delete Files

Delete one or more files from the ImageKit Media Library by their file IDs. Supports both single and bulk deletion. Note: deleting files does **not** automatically purge the CDN cache.

copy_move_file

Copy, Move, or Rename File

Copy, move, or rename a file in the ImageKit Media Library. Use the **operation** field to choose the action. Copy and move use source file path and destination folder. Rename changes the file name and can optionally purge CDN cache.

update_file

Update File

Update a file's properties including tags, custom coordinates, custom metadata, publish status, and extensions. Only the provided fields will be updated.

list_files

List Files

Search and list files in the ImageKit Media Library. Supports powerful search queries using a Lucene-like syntax to filter by name, tags, file type, size, dimensions, creation date, custom metadata, and more.

get_bulk_job_status

Get Bulk Job Status

Check the provider status of an asynchronous folder job. Pending jobs are still running; partial success requires inspecting the folder and cache state before retrying.

download_file

Download File

Download the original bytes of a published ImageKit file or an existing file version. Private assets use a short-lived signed download link.

Connect Imagekit to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Imagekit in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Imagekit MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Imagekit tools.

Run Imagekit through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Imagekit and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Imagekit tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
