Yes, it can process base64 data directly, which is great for handling images from your local files or code.
Can I check my Kraken.io MCP limits?
Yes, you can ask your agent to check your current quota and account status anytime to stay on top of your usage.
Is Kraken.io MCP good for content managers?
It's perfect for content managers because it automates the boring stuff like resizing and optimizing every image you upload.
Does Kraken.io MCP support lossy compression?
Yes, it offers both lossy and lossless compression options so you can choose the best balance between quality and file size.
