What is MCP Image Extractor?
The MCP Image Extractor is a server designed to extract images from different sources (local files, URLs, and base64 strings) and convert them into base64 format. This allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze and process image data effectively.
How to use MCP Image Extractor?
The server can be installed manually or through a .cursor/mcp.json file. Manual installation involves cloning the repository, installing dependencies, building the project, and linking it globally. Configuration via .cursor/mcp.json allows specifying the command and arguments to run the server. The server provides tools that can be called by AI assistants like Claude to extract and analyze images.
