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 Which MCP server to call: DAM (media library), Admin (origins, URL endpoints, usage analytics), or DevTools search-assets Lucene searchQuery for DAM search_media_library — discover custom metadata and tags before guessing upload-files DAM uploads via upload_file (picker) or create_upload_signature — never inline file bytes asset-access-control File/folder vs media-collection ACL tools, and the write rules that are easy to get wrong ai-tasks Payload shape for AI tagging, metadata extraction, and quality checks on DAM assets search-docs How to query DevTools search_docs (query rewriting and source selection) transformation-builder How to query DevTools transformation_builder for correct transformation URLs imagekit-integrations Index of ImageKit SDKs, plugins, and widgets — pick the right one for a stack, then search the docs
Installation
There are two pieces to install: the skills (this repo) and the MCP servers :
MCP server URL Auth imagekit_devtoolshttps://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcpNone imagekit_damhttps://imagekit.io/mcp/damSign in with your ImageKit account imagekit_adminhttps://imagekit.io/mcp/adminSign in with your ImageKit account
If you previously connected https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp, remove it and add DAM and Admin instead.
What each server does:
Server Use it to DAM Search, upload, organize, tag, share, and manage the media library Admin Manage origins (external storage), URL endpoints, account usage, and usage analytics DevTools Search the docs and build transformation URLs (no sign-in)
Pick one of the two methods below. Restart your editor after installing so the MCP servers take effect. Authenticate DAM and Admin when prompted.
Plugin method (recommended)
On Claude Desktop, Claude.ai (web), and VS Code, the ImageKit plugin installs the skills and MCP servers in a single step.
Claude Desktop & Claude.ai (web)
Open Customize in the left sidebar and go to the Plugins tab.
Under Personal plugins, click + → Add marketplace → Add from a repository, and enter imagekit-developer/skills.
Install the ImageKit plugin from that marketplace.
Enable the bundled imagekit_devtools, imagekit_dam, and imagekit_admin connectors, and authenticate DAM and Admin when prompted.
VS Code
Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and run Install Plugin from Source.
Enter imagekit-developer/skills as the plugin source.
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_dam https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam
claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_admin https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin
Claude Desktop Edit your config file:
macOS : ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows : %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
