Kompressr Overview

Kompressr MCP server connects AI agents to Kompressr for uploading, optimizing, managing, and delivering files. It runs through the JavaScript MCP package with Node.js 22 and uses a Kompressr API key for authenticated operations. Agents can wait for asynchronous processing to finish before requesting delivery links, including private links. Reach for it when an agent needs backend file workflows without embedding the full SDK directly in an application.

Primary Use Cases for Kompressr:
  • Upload images from an agent-managed workflow
  • Wait for files to finish processing before delivery
  • Generate private links for stored attachments
  • Manage files through a chatbot with scoped user access
