A Model Context Protocol server that exposes Cloudinary Upload & Admin API methods as tools by AI assistants. This integration allows AI systems to trigger and interact with your Cloudinary cloud.

How It Works

The MCP server:

• Makes calls on your behalf to the Cloudinary API
• Enables uploading of assets to Cloudinary
• Enables management of assets in your Cloudinary cloud

It relies on the Cloudinary API to perform these actions. Not all methods and parameters are supported. More will be added over time.

Open an issue with a request for specific method if you need it.

Benefits

• Turn your Cloudinary cloud actions into callable tools for AI assistants
• Turn your Cloudinary assets into data for AI assistants
