Supported Tools

check_api_status

Check API Status

Retrieve the current credit usage and quota information for the ShortPixel API key. Returns monthly and one-time credit counts including how many calls have been made and the total quota available.

generate_cdn_url

Generate CDN URL

Generate a ShortPixel CDN URL that will serve an optimized, resized, and/or converted version of an image on-the-fly. The generated URL can be used directly in HTML, CSS, or any context where an image URL is needed. Images are processed and cached by ShortPixel's CDN automatically.

manage_domain

Manage Domain

Manage domains associated with your ShortPixel API key for CDN usage. Supports associating a domain, revoking a domain, checking domain status, reading CDN usage statistics, purging storage, and purging CDN cache. Use this to set up domains for ShortPixel Adaptive Images or to manage existing domain associations.

optimize_image

Optimize Image

Compress, resize, convert, upscale, or remove backgrounds from images via their URLs using the ShortPixel Reducer API. Supports batch processing of up to 100 image URLs in a single request. Results include download URLs for optimized images in various formats and compression levels, along with size statistics. If optimization is still processing (status code 1), re-invoke this tool with the same URLs to poll for results.

optimize_image_file

Optimize Image File

Optimize one publicly accessible image and retrieve the optimized image content in the same request. Supports compression, resizing, a single output format, upscaling and background removal.

Connect Shortpixel 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 Shortpixel in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Shortpixel 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 Shortpixel tools.

Run Shortpixel through the Metorial gateway

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

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