# TinyPNG — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your TinyPNG account and use 5 tools for images and design straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your WebP, JPEG, and PNG files.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_tinypng?ms=1787293440000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `tinypng_get_compression_count`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/tinypng`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/tinypng/_endpoints`
