## Description

Connect your imgix account to any AI agent and take full control of your real-time image processing and CDN infrastructure through natural conversation. You can manage your entire visual media pipeline without jumping between browser tabs or navigating complex menus. Use your agent to connect origin storage like S3 or GCS directly to the CDN, purge specific assets to force a re-fetch of original files, and monitor your library for metadata like file paths and sizes. It's a huge time saver for keeping your assets live and optimized. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can integrate these capabilities into your existing workflow and manage your infrastructure with simple commands. This means you can handle source orchestration, audit your assets, and manage traffic flow during deployment windows. You can clear a cache after a content update or check the status of a new source by just asking your agent. You get a direct line to your CDN settings, making it much easier to maintain a high-performing visual experience for your users. Stop manually configuring every single source or waiting for cache headers to expire. Just ask your agent to do it for you. This turns a series of tedious administrative tasks into a simple conversation, letting you focus on building your product rather than managing the pipes behind it.

## Tools

### get_source
Pull the specific details for one source, like its domain and status. This is great for quick audits.

### create_source
Connect a new S3 bucket or web folder to the CDN. You don't have to leave your editor to set this up.

### get_asset
Fetch the metadata for a single file. Use this to check if a specific image is correctly served.

### delete_source
Permanently remove a source from your account. It keeps your infrastructure organized and clean.

### list_sources
Show all your current imgix sources. It's the quickest way to see what's live.

### update_source
Change the configuration of an existing source. Use this to fix a domain or update caching rules.

### enable_source
Make a source live immediately. It's the fastest way to deploy your new assets.

### disable_source
Take a source offline instantly. This is your kill switch for troubleshooting.

### purge
Clear a specific asset and all its derivatives from the edge network. This ensures your users see the latest version.

### list_assets
Get a full list of files in a source. It returns paths, sizes, and content types for every file.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
List all my current imgix sources
```

**Response:** 
```
I've found 3 imgix sources:

| Source Name | ID | Domain | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| marketing-assets | src_123 | marketing.imgix.net | Live |
| e-commerce-products | src_456 | shop.imgix.net | Live |
| user-uploads | src_789 | uploads.imgix.net | Offline |

Which one would you like to inspect?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Purge this image from CDN: https://mycompany.imgix.net/logos/v2.png
```

**Response:** 
```
Purge request sent. I've invalidated **logos/v2.png** across the global imgix Edge network. All processed versions of this file will now be re-fetched and transformed from your origin.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List the assets in the 'marketing-assets' source
```

**Response:** 
```
I've retrieved the assets for source **src_123**. 

**Recent files include:**
* `/banners/hero-winter.jpg`
* `/icons/social-bundle.svg`
* `/product-shots/model-01.webp`

**Total assets in this source:** 1,245.
```

## Capabilities

### Create new CDN sources
Connect your S3 or GCS buckets to imgix instantly.

### Purge global cache
Force the CDN to re-fetch assets and clear all derivatives.

### Audit origin files
Get a full list of all paths, sizes, and content types in your source.

### Toggle source status
Enable or disable specific sources to manage traffic flow.

### Update source configs
Modify names, domains, and caching attributes on the fly.

### Delete old sources
Permanently remove unused sources to keep your dashboard clean.

## Use Cases

### Emergency Cache Clear
A dev realizes a broken logo is live. They ask the agent to purge the URL, and it clears the edge network immediately.

### Migration Management
An SRE needs to switch origins. They use `disable_source` on the old bucket and `enable_source` on the new one via the agent.

### Bulk Asset Verification
A manager wants to check if 500 new images are correctly synced. They ask the agent to list assets and check file paths.

### Quick Config Updates
A team needs to change a custom domain. They tell the agent to update the source config instead of logging into the imgix dashboard.

## Benefits

- Faster cache clearing: Use `purge` to instantly invalidate assets and derivatives without manual entry.
- Easier source setup: Create and configure new origin connections using `create_source` and `update_source`.
- Better deployment control: Use `enable_source` and `disable_source` to manage traffic flow during updates.
- Quicker asset audits: Get a full view of your library with `list_assets` and `get_asset` for metadata.
- Cleaner infrastructure: Keep your environment organized by using `delete_source` to remove old configurations.
- Reduced context switching: Manage your entire image delivery pipeline directly inside Claude or Cursor.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your image infrastructure that replaces manual dashboard navigation.

1. Subscribe to the Connector and provide your imgix API key.
2. Connect your preferred AI client like Cursor or Claude.
3. Start asking your agent to manage your image assets or CDN settings.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I do with the imgix MCP?**
You can manage your entire imgix infrastructure using natural language. This includes creating new sources, purging cache assets, auditing your file library, and toggling sources on or off.

**How do I use the imgix MCP to clear my cache?**
Just tell your agent to purge a specific image URL. The Connector will handle invalidating that asset and all its derivatives across the global edge network for you.

**Can the imgix MCP connect to my S3 bucket?**
Yes, you can use the Connector to connect any origin storage, including S3 or Google Cloud Storage, directly to your imgix CDN.

**Does the imgix MCP help with asset auditing?**
It does. You can ask your agent to list all assets in a specific source to see file paths, sizes, and content types for your entire library.

**How do I manage traffic with the imgix MCP?**
You can use your agent to quickly enable or disable specific sources. This is great for managing traffic flow during maintenance windows or new deployments.

**Can I use the imgix MCP in Cursor?**
Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf, letting you manage your CDN directly from your IDE.

**How do I update my imgix source settings using the Connector?**
You can just tell your agent what you want to change, such as the source name or domain. The Connector will update the configuration for you without any manual dashboard entry.

**What happens when I purge an asset in imgix?**
Using the `purge` tool removes the cached version of the original image and ALL processed derivatives (resized, filtered, etc.) from imgix Edge nodes. This forces the system to re-fetch the file from your origin storage on the next request.

**Can I connect my AWS S3 bucket to imgix using my agent?**
Absolutely. Use the `create_source` tool and provide your S3 origin base URL. Your agent will handle the backend orchestration to map your storage bucket to a new imgix CDN domain.

**How do I check if a source is currently serving traffic?**
The `get_source` tool retrieves the real-time status of any imgix source. Your agent will return the deployment type and current state, so you'll know exactly if it's enabled and live.
