Using Agent Media Tools with Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based AI coding agent. By wiring it to Agent Media Tools, Claude can resize images, generate PDFs, scrape websites, create QR codes, and run 70+ utility tools — all from natural language prompts in your terminal.

Method 1: MCP (Preview)

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server gives Claude direct tool access. Each tool becomes a function Claude can call autonomously.

1. Get an API key

Sign up at agentmediatools.com and generate an API key from your account dashboard.

2. Add the MCP server to Claude Code's config

Edit ~/.claude/claude_dotfiles/claude_code_mcp.json or run:

# Preview only — @agentmediatools/mcp-server is not published yet.
claude mcp add agent-media-tools -- \
  npx @agentmediatools/mcp-server \
  --api-key mt_your_key_here

Or add it manually to your MCP config:

# Preview only — use the downloadable Claude Desktop package or REST today.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-media-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@agentmediatools/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MEDIA_TOOL_API_KEY": "mt_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start using it

In your Claude Code terminal:

# "Take a screenshot of example.com"
# "Resize this photo to 1024px wide"
# "Convert that PDF to text"
# "Generate a QR code for my website"
# "Compress all images in this folder"

Method 2: REST API (curl or SDK)

If MCP isn't available, use the REST API directly. Claude Code can execute curl and Python natively.

# Scrape a page
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mt_your_key_here" \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","format":"markdown"}' \
  https://agentmediatools.com/api/agent/scrape

# Generate a QR code (free, no auth)
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"https://agentmediatools.com"}' \
  https://agentmediatools.com/api/qrcode -o qr.png

What Claude Can Do

After connecting, Claude Code can autonomously use these tools:

Pro Tips

• Chain tools: "Screenshot this page, convert it to PDF, and save it" — Claude calls screenshot + html-to-pdf sequentially.
• Batch processing: "Resize all JPGs in ./images to 800px wide" — Claude loops over files using the resize endpoint.
• Use free tools: QR codes, pastebin, UUID, IP lookup, and dev tools work without an API key.
