imgix MCP. Control your image CDN without touching a dashboard.
Gemini Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Just plug in your AI agents and start using Vinkius.
imgix (Real-time Image Processing) MCP Server gives your AI agent full control over your image CDN. List, create, and manage sources (S3, GCS, Web Folder).
Purge assets globally and get metadata for any image path. This lets you control your entire image delivery pipeline from a chat interface.
What your AI agents can do
Create source
Links your origin storage (S3, GCS, web folder) to Imgix CDN, making it a new source.
Delete source
Permanently removes an existing Imgix source definition.
Disable source
Stops a source from serving images, effectively taking it offline.
Connect, list, update, or delete entire sources, linking your original storage (S3, GCS, Web Folder) to the imgix CDN.
Remove an asset from the global imgix cache. This invalidates all processed versions and forces the network to re-fetch the original file.
Get detailed information on specific files, including their path, size, and content type, directly from the origin source.
Enable or disable a source definition to instantly manage whether or not it serves images through the CDN.
Retrieve a list of all files and their metadata from a specific source, useful for inventory checks.
Update source configurations, including caching attributes or deployment settings, without deep API calls.

- You can use
list_sourcesto see every source connected to your imgix account. You'll useget_sourceto pull detailed info on a specific source, like its domain and current status. You cancreate_sourceto link your origin storage—whether it's S3, GCS, or a web folder—making it a new source. If you need to make changes, you'llupdate_sourceto modify settings like caching rules or deployment type. You'll usedelete_sourceto permanently pull an existing source definition. You can alsodisable_sourceto stop a source from serving images, orenable_sourceto bring it back online.
How imgix MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the imgix MCP Server and provide your API Key.
- 2 Tell your agent the source or asset you want to manage (e.g., 'Purge this logo image').
- 3 The agent executes the necessary tool (like
purgeorget_source) and reports the status and outcome back to you.
The bottom line is: you manage your entire image CDN stack using natural conversation, treating infrastructure control like a simple chat command.
Who Is imgix MCP For?
The SRE who gets burned out clicking through dashboards at 2 am. The frontend developer who needs to confirm a source connection and purge assets without leaving their IDE. Or the Digital Asset Manager who needs to audit hundreds of assets across multiple projects. This tool lets you treat your CDN like a chat window.
Manages source availability and deploys/disables CDN sources in a single conversation. Uses list_sources and disable_source to control traffic flow.
Verifies origin connections and purges processed image derivatives after updating assets. Uses create_source and purge to sync local changes globally.
Audits asset libraries and checks source details across different projects. Uses list_sources and get_source to maintain a complete asset inventory.
What Changes When You Connect
- Purge images globally: Need to update a logo? Use the
purgetool to invalidate a single asset across the entire imgix Edge network. No more waiting for cache expiry. - Audit your entire setup: Use
list_sourcesto see every connected source in one go. Quickly check the status of all deployments before a major release. - Pinpoint asset data: Use
get_assetto get metadata (size, content type) on a specific file path. This is faster than downloading and inspecting the file manually. - Manage traffic flow: If a source needs maintenance, use
disable_source. This instantly stops serving images from that source, controlling deployment windows via chat. - Keep your code synced: After a build, use
create_sourceorupdate_sourceto ensure your local development assets are correctly linked and deployed to the CDN. - Get a full inventory: Use
list_assetsto list every file in a specific source. This gives you a complete manifest of assets for auditing purposes.
Real-World Use Cases
Emergency Logo Update
The marketing team drops a new logo file. Instead of waiting for the cache to expire, they ask their agent to purge the old asset URL. The agent sends the purge request, and the new logo loads immediately, solving the problem in seconds.
Pre-Deployment Check
A DevOps engineer is ready to deploy a new product line. They run list_sources to confirm all necessary sources are active, then use get_source to check the detailed deployment status of the main e-commerce source before flipping the switch.
Debugging Broken Assets
The frontend developer finds a broken image. They use get_asset to check the file's actual metadata, confirming if the source is correct and if the asset exists. They then use list_assets to check the surrounding files for context.
Shutting Down Old Sources
An old, unused marketing campaign source is taking up resources. The Digital Asset Manager uses disable_source to take it offline immediately. Later, they use delete_source when it's confirmed that the source is no longer needed.
The Tradeoffs
Guessing the state
Trying to remember if a source is live, disabled, or if an asset was purged correctly by checking the dashboard status manually.
→
Always confirm the state first. Run get_source to verify the current status, and if you need to force an update, use purge rather than just hoping the cache clears.
Missing the audit trail
Running a complex deployment involving multiple asset changes and then having no record of what was actually updated or which assets were affected.
→
Always run list_assets on the source before and after the changes. This gives you a clear, auditable manifest of everything that changed.
Over-relying on deletion
Assuming that deleting a source definition (delete_source) also cleans up all associated cached assets or metadata, which it might not.
→
Use disable_source first to stop traffic flow. Then, if it’s truly done, use delete_source. This ensures a controlled, reversible process.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if you need to treat your CDN infrastructure like a set of chat commands. You need to audit, enable, disable, or purge assets based on natural language conversation.
Don't use this if your only goal is to view a simple list of all assets (use a dedicated asset management tool) or if you need to perform highly complex, proprietary data transformations that aren't exposed via imgix's API. For deep data manipulation, you still need to connect to the underlying storage (S3, GCS).

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Checking CDN status means clicking through five different dashboards.
Right now, managing a source connection means opening the imgix dashboard, navigating to 'Sources,' finding the right domain, and then checking deployment status. If you need to list assets, you jump to another tab, and if you need to purge, you run a separate command line. It's a disjointed, multi-click process.
With the imgix MCP Server, you just talk to your agent. You tell it, 'List all my sources,' and you get the status immediately. You tell it, 'Purge the logo,' and the action happens. It turns a multi-dashboard workflow into a single chat command.
imgix (Real-time Image Processing) MCP Server: Get control over assets.
You don't have to manually update caching attributes or manually check if a source is active. The agent handles the logic. You can ask it to `update_source` or `enable_source` and confirm the state change immediately.
The difference is control. You manage the entire asset lifecycle—from initial connection (`create_source`) to final deletion (`delete_source`)—without ever leaving your IDE or chat window.
Common Questions About imgix MCP
How do I purge a specific asset using the purge tool? +
You provide the asset URL or path to the agent. The agent executes the purge tool, which invalidates the asset across the global imgix network immediately.
What is the difference between delete_source and disable_source? +
disable_source stops the source from serving images immediately. delete_source permanently removes the source definition. Always disable first if you aren't sure you never need it.
Can I list all assets in a source using list_assets? +
Yes, list_assets gathers all file paths, sizes, and content types from the source. It's a quick way to audit your asset inventory.
Do I need to run get_source before I can update_source? +
While you can run update_source directly, using get_source first helps you gather all the existing configuration parameters, making sure you don't miss anything when making changes.
Does create_source automatically handle the API key? +
No. You must subscribe to the server and provide your imgix API Key first. The tools only work once the connection is established.
What information does `get_source` return about an Imgix source? +
It returns the source's name, domain, deployment type, and current status. This lets you verify if a source is active, what domain it uses, and how it's set up for deployment.
If I run `list_sources` and see a source I don't need, how do I remove it? +
You use the delete_source tool. This permanently removes the source configuration. Make sure you've backed up any necessary details before deleting it.
How can I check the metadata for a single file using `get_asset`? +
The get_asset tool retrieves the asset's path, size, and content type. This is useful for knowing the file details before processing or displaying it.
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.
