ImageKit Skills

Reusable AI agent skills for ImageKit.io — install them with the skills CLI to enhance your coding agent's capabilities.

Skills

Skill	Description
mcp-preflight	Mandatory routing guide — tells the agent which MCP server to call for what, before every ImageKit tool invocation
imagekit-sdk-reference	TypeScript SDK reference — method signatures, types (File, Folder), error handling, and examples for @imagekit/nodejs
imagekit-integrations	Index of ImageKit SDKs, plugins, and integrations across front-end, back-end, mobile, CMS, storage, video, upload widgets, and URL generation
search-assets	Filter and search ImageKit files and folders using the Lucene-like searchQuery syntax, operators, and field reference
search-docs	Search ImageKit documentation with optimized queries and source selection
transformation-builder	Build ImageKit image/video transformations — AI editing, background removal, resize, crop, overlays, and more
upload-files	Upload files to the ImageKit media library from a public URL (local files not supported) with folder paths, tags, and metadata
ai-tasks	Apply AI-powered analysis to images for business-specific tagging, metadata extraction, and quality checks using controlled vocabularies

Installation

There are two pieces to install: the skills (this repo) and two MCP servers:

MCP server	URL
imagekit_devtools	https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp
imagekit_api	https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp

Pick one of the two methods below. Restart your editor after installing so the MCP servers take effect.

Plugin method (recommended)

On Claude Desktop, Claude.ai (web), and VS Code, the ImageKit plugin installs the skills and both MCP servers in a single step.

Claude Desktop & Claude.ai (web)

1. Open Customize in the left sidebar and go to the Plugins tab.
2. Under Personal plugins, click + → Add marketplace → Add from a repository, and enter imagekit-developer/skills.
3. Install the ImageKit plugin from that marketplace.
4. Enable the bundled imagekit_devtools and imagekit_api connectors, and authenticate imagekit_api when prompted.

VS Code

1. Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and run Install Plugin from Source.
2. Enter imagekit-developer/skills as the plugin source.
3. Restart VS Code.

Manual method

1. Install the skills (same command on every platform):

npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --all

2. Add the MCP servers for your tool:

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_devtools https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_api https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp

Claude Desktop

Edit your config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"]
    },
    "imagekit_api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Codex

Via CLI:

codex mcp add imagekit_devtools --url https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp
codex mcp add imagekit_api --url https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.imagekit_devtools]
url = "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"

[mcp_servers.imagekit_api]
url = "https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"

VS Code Copilot

code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"imagekit_devtools\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp\"}"
code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"imagekit_api\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp\"}"

Cursor

Install with these buttons:

• 
• 

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": { "url": "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" },
    "imagekit_api": { "url": "https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" }
  }
}

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": { "serverUrl": "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" },
    "imagekit_api": { "serverUrl": "https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" }
  }
}

Usage

Once installed, these skills are automatically available to your AI agent. The agent will consult the relevant skill before performing ImageKit operations, ensuring correct tool usage and better results.
