in the cloud
one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb
-
Koyeb builds the repository's Dockerfile from branch main; change the branch in the form if the default one has another name.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
- cloud run
-
Cloud Shell clones the repository, builds its Dockerfile and deploys it to Cloud Run.
Cloud Run sends requests to $PORT (8080); the recipe expects :8000, so the server has to read PORT, or set the container port on the service afterwards.

The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://tinypng.usefulapi.io/mcp` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `tinypng` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__tinypng__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 4 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

tinypng_compress_imageWRITE (uses quota): ask TinyPNG (Tinify) to fetch a public image by URL and compress it (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL). Returns the output_url (Tinify's Location address of the compressed image), the compressed size and type, the savings when the input size is known, and the Compression-Count header (compressions used this month). The image is stored by Tinify for about 48 hours; output_url needs your API key, so use tinypng_download_image to get the bytes and tinypng_transform_image to resize, convert or keep metadata. Each compression counts against the monthly quota of your Tinify API key (the free plan includes 500 per month); resizing and converting count one extra compression each. POST /shrink.WRITE (uses quota): ask TinyPNG (Tinify) to fetch a public image by URL and compress it (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL).

Returns the resulting type, byte size, width, height and Compression-Count; the image itself is returned too when include_image is true and it is under 1 MB. Resize: method scale (give width OR height), or fit / cover / thumb (give width AND height); images are never scaled up. Convert: one or more of image/webp, image/jpeg, image/png, image/avif, image/jxl (several = the smallest is returned) or */* (the smallest of WebP, JPEG, PNG); converting a transparent image to JPEG needs a background colour. Preserve: copyright, creation, location (location is JPEG only) keeps that metadata, which makes the file slightly larger. Each call is a fresh request: resize and convert each count one extra compression on your monthly Tinify quota, preserve is free.
