ImageKit Admin — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server for ImageKit. It lets coding agents manage external storage origins, configure media endpoints, and monitor account resource limits.
claude mcp add --transport http admin https://imagekit.io/mcp/adminWhat ImageKit Admin does
This server connects your development assistant to ImageKit management APIs over HTTP via https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin. The model receives tools to configure external storage origins and inspect active media delivery endpoints without leaving the editor.
Authentication is mandatory. Your agent will prompt you to log into your ImageKit account before running commands. If your setup still points to the retired https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp endpoint, remove that connection and configure the Admin and DAM servers separately.
What it helps with
- configure external storage origins for media files
- audit account bandwidth and storage consumption
- inspect active delivery URL endpoints
- query usage analytics directly from the agent
Example prompts for the agent
- Show current account bandwidth and storage usage analytics for ImageKit.
- List all external storage origins connected to my ImageKit account.
- Check the status of my configured URL delivery endpoints.
