Headless Imgur management for Claude Code

Pipe your image assets directly into `upload_image` using CLI commands. This is useful for cron jobs or CI/CD pipelines where you need to push screenshots automatically. Once uploaded, use `get_image` to verify the status of your assets. It provides a clean terminal output for your logs.

Automate album pipelines with Claude Code

Script your gallery organization by chaining `create_album` and `add_images_to_album` in your shell scripts. This removes the need for a GUI when managing large collections. Use `get_account_submissions` to audit what you have pushed to the gallery. It returns a list of your items for quick review in the terminal.

Gallery interaction via Claude Code

Search the gallery from your terminal using `search_gallery` to find specific items. It outputs the results directly to your console, ready for parsing or further action. If you need to comment or vote, call `create_comment` or `vote_comment` from your script. It allows for programmatic engagement without leaving your terminal session.
