What kind of dimensions does this MCP handle?

It handles any target aspect ratio. You can ask it to calculate bounds for specific ratios, or you can use the MCP to pull standard presets for common platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Does this MCP just tell me the size, or does it tell me where to crop?

It tells you both. The MCP calculates the precise rectangular boundaries, giving you the necessary X and Y offsets, not just the final width and height.

Can I use this if I don't know the aspect ratio?

Yes. You can use the MCP to look up standard aspect ratio presets by providing the name of the social media platform.

Is this for video or photos?

It's for calculating image transformations. It works on the pixel dimensions of the image, regardless of whether the source content was originally a photo or a video frame.

What is 'area loss' in this context?

Area loss is the amount of image data that gets discarded when you crop. The MCP quantifies this loss in pixels, letting you know exactly what you're sacrificing for the new aspect ratio.

How do I calculate the crop area for a specific platform?

You can use the calculate_crop_bounds capability. Provide your original image dimensions and the target ratio components (e.g., 9 and 16 for TikTok). The capability will return the new width, height, and the X/Y offsets needed for a center-aligned crop.

Can I see how much of my image will be lost?

Yes, the analyze_area_loss capability calculates exactly how many pixels are discarded and the percentage of the original area that is removed during the cropping process.

Where can I find common aspect ratio values?

Use the get_aspect_ratio_presets capability to retrieve a list of standardized ratios for popular platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

TikTok Video Prep

You have a wide-screen video but need it for a vertical TikTok post. The MCP calculates the perfect 9:16 crop bounds.

Instagram Feed Planning

You are designing a 9-image grid and need to know the exact 1:1 square dimensions for every post.

Asset Optimization

Before sending a master image, you use the MCP to analyze the area loss if you crop it to a specific ratio.

Cross-Platform Campaign

You need to generate assets for YouTube (16:9) and Instagram (4:5) from one source image, and the MCP handles the math for both.

One connector, every AI

Aspect Ratio Cropper works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Aspect Ratio Cropper to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
