You can upload images and videos to Cloudinary from Claude Desktop and compatible MCP clients using a dedicated MCP server. This setup lets you run a local MCP endpoint that handles file uploads to your Cloudinary account, streamlining asset management directly from your workflows.

How to use

Set up the MCP server locally and point your MCP client to it. You can run the server via npx for quick start or run it directly from your own Node installation if you prefer to customize or contribute.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing:

Install Node.js version 18 or higher and npm from nodejs.org
Verify installations with:
node --version
npm --version

Recommended setup flow using npx for a quick start.

      "args": ["@felores/cloudinary-mcp-server@latest"],

        "CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME": "your_cloud_name",

        "CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}
