## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Kraken io MCP or direct API to compress images, optimize file size, convert formats, and automate media workflows through natural language.

## Summary

Kraken.io is an image optimization and compression platform. It helps you shrink image file sizes while keeping visual quality intact.

## Categories

- design & creative tools

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 3

## Images

- Logo: https://logos.composio.dev/api/kraken_io

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for Kraken.io.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for Kraken.io.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- Compress this product image from its URL
- Check my Kraken.io API quota usage
- Optimize image while keeping all EXIF data
- Test image compression in sandbox mode

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `KRAKEN_IO_CHECK_USER_STATUS` | Check Kraken.io User Status | Tool to retrieve current Kraken.io account status and quota usage. Use when you need to verify plan limits and remaining quota before processing images. |
| `KRAKEN_IO_OPTIMIZE_IMAGE_URL` | Optimize Image by URL | Tool to optimize an image from a public URL. Use when you need to compress, resize, or convert an externally hosted image. Returns result immediately if 'wait' is true. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Kraken io Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Kraken io actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Optimize this image URL and reduce file size for web performance.'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Optimize this image URL and reduce file size for web performance.'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Kraken io tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Optimize this image URL: https://example.com/image.jpg')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Optimize this image URL: https://example.com/image.jpg' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs( 5 )
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```
