Image Tiler MCP Server Tools (1)
tiler
Split images into optimally-sized tiles for LLM vision analysis, or capture web page screenshots and tile them.
MANDATORY two-phase workflow — DO NOT skip Phase 1:
Phase 1 (REQUIRED first): Provide ONLY the image source (filePath, sourceUrl, url, etc).
DO NOT include preset, tileSize, or outputDir.
Returns a model comparison table with token estimates and an outputDir.
You MUST present this table to the user and ask which preset they prefer.
DO NOT select a preset yourself — the user decides. If you must auto-select, always use the cheapest option.
Phase 2: Call again with the user's chosen preset + the outputDir from Phase 1.
Re-include your original image source (filePath, sourceUrl, etc.).
For captures, use screenshotPath from Phase 1 instead of url.
Returns tile summary with metadata and content hints (no tile images).
Use tilesDir + start/end to fetch only the tiles you need.
Stop after Phase 1 if you only need the screenshot (capture mode) or comparison data.
4 tiling presets available:
- "claude": 1092px tiles, ~1590 tokens/tile
- "openai": 768px tiles, ~765 tokens/tile
- "gemini3": 1536px tiles, ~1120 tokens/tile
- "gemini": 768px tiles, ~258 tokens/tile
Supports: local files (filePath), remote images (sourceUrl), data URLs, base64, and web page capture (url — Chrome required).
Tiles saved as WebP (default) or PNG. Auto-downscales images over 10000px by default.
TOKEN COST NOTE: The get-tiles mode returns image tiles as inline base64, consuming significantly
more tokens than typical text-only MCP tools. Each tile costs ~258-1590 tokens depending
on preset. Use the Phase 2 summary and tile hints to fetch only non-blank, relevant tiles.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
