# ImageKit MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > ImageKit (Media Optimization & DAM) MCP lets you manage your entire visual asset library through your AI client. It handles everything from listing files and auditing EXIF data to purging CDN caches and updating custom metadata tags. Stop jumping between the ImageKit dashboard and your code and start managing your assets with natural conversation. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_xLmCaWtIJXDHMEk4bfe6mT4U6OscJwivLw7UQcr1/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** media-optimization, cdn, image-processing, asset-management, real-time-transformation ## Description This Connector lets you manage your ImageKit assets through a conversation. Instead of hunting through a complex dashboard to find a specific file or copy-pasting URLs into a separate cache clearing tool, you can just tell your AI agent what you need. You can list every file in your vault, check technical details like focal length or ISO, and clear the cache for specific images instantly. It handles the heavy lifting of updating tags across your whole library or cleaning out old files to save on storage costs. You can even build out your own custom data structure to keep your assets organized exactly how your business needs them. It's one of the high-quality connections you'll find in the Vinkius catalog, designed to take the manual clicking out of media management so you can focus on your actual work. Imagine you're in the middle of a launch and need to update the tags on hundreds of product shots. Instead of a tedious manual process, you just give your agent a single command. It handles the batch update across your entire vault while you stay focused on the launch. This shifts your workflow from repetitive data entry to high-level oversight, giving you a way to keep your digital assets clean, organized, and up to date without the usual friction of manual management. ## Tools ### purge_cdn_cache Clear the cache for specific URLs across the global Edge CDN. This ensures that your users see the most recent content delivery. ### patch_file_details Update the metadata or tags for an existing asset. This allows you to change specific data points for individual files. ### create_custom_schema Create new custom metadata fields to define how your assets are organized. This helps you map business variables to your visual content. ### wipe_batch_assets Delete multiple assets at once to clear out your storage. This is the fastest way to perform a bulk cleanup of your library. ### wipe_media_asset Permanently remove a specific file from your ImageKit vault. Use this when you need to delete a single asset immediately. ### get_purge_status Check if your CDN cache invalidation request has finished. This lets you monitor the status of your active clear layers. ### list_custom_fields See all the custom metadata fields you've already created. This allows you to view the properties driving your active extensibility. ### list_media_files See a list of all the visual assets currently in your vault. This helps you identify the bounded routing spaces inside your vault. ### get_file_details Get specific information and logs for a single file ID. This helps you trace specific payload IDs within your vault. ### get_exif_metadata Pull technical photo data like ISO and focal length for an image. You can use this to verify file attributes and quality. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List the last 10 images uploaded to my ImageKit vault ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the 10 most recent assets for you. Here they are: | Asset Name | File ID | Upload Date | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | banner_hero.jpg | file_992 | 2026-07-01 | | product_01.webp | file_991 | 2026-07-01 | | logo_final.png | file_990 | 2026-06-30 | Would you like to see the metadata for any of these? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Purge the cache for this URL: https://ik.imagekit.io/myproject/header.jpg ``` **Response:** ``` Cache purge request sent successfully. **Request ID:** `pur_98765` The Edge CDN nodes will be invalidated shortly. I can check the status for you in a few minutes if you'd like. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me the focal length and dimensions for file ID 'file_12345' ``` **Response:** ``` Here are the specs for that file: * **Dimensions:** 4032x3024 * **Focal Length:** 26mm * **ISO:** 100 * **Aperture:** f/1.8 It looks like a high-quality mobile shot. Should I add a tag to this? ``` ## Capabilities ### List every visual asset in your vault Get a complete view of your uploaded images and files in one go. ### Clear specific URLs from the Edge CDN Purge stale content from the global cache to ensure users see the latest version. ### Extract technical image properties Pull data like dimensions, ISO, and focal length directly into your chat. ### Update asset tags in bulk Apply new metadata or labels to many files at once without manual editing. ### Delete specific files or batch removals Clean up your storage by removing individual assets or large groups of files. ### Create new custom metadata fields Build a custom data structure to organize your assets by business variables. ## Use Cases ### Fixing stale logo assets A developer updates a logo but the old version persists. They ask the agent to purge the cache for the specific URL using purge_cdn_cache. ### Auditing photo quality A content lead needs to find all images with a specific ISO. They use get_exif_metadata to scan the library for technical specs. ### Cleaning up legacy projects An admin needs to remove hundreds of old files from a finished project. They use wipe_batch_assets to remove them in one go. ### Standardizing SEO tags A marketer wants to add a brand category to all assets. They use create_custom_schema to add the field and patch_file_details to fill it. ## Benefits - Stop manually clicking through the ImageKit dashboard to find specific files using list_media_files. - Fix stale content instantly by purging specific URLs from the Edge CDN with purge_cdn_cache. - Keep your data organized by updating tags and metadata in bulk using patch_file_details. - Audit your visual assets for quality and specs using get_exif_metadata. - Save on storage costs by identifying and removing old assets with wipe_batch_assets. - Build a custom data structure for your assets by creating new fields with create_custom_schema. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get direct, conversational control over your ImageKit media library without leaving your workspace. 1.
