Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your TinyPNG account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to compress uploaded PNG and return link, optimize this JPEG and report savings, convert this image to WebP format, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate TinyPNG with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect TinyPNG to Claude Cowork ### Connecting TinyPNG to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like TinyPNG through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the TinyPNG MCP server, and what's possible with it? The TinyPNG MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your TinyPNG account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform TinyPNG operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `TINYPNG_GET_COMPRESSION_COUNT` | Get TinyPNG Compression Count | Tool to retrieve the number of compressions made this month. Use when you need to monitor your TinyPNG API usage. | | `TINYPNG_SHRINK_AND_GET_IMAGE_ID` | Shrink and get image ID | Tool to shrink an image and return its TinyPNG image ID. Use when you need only the compressed image identifier from the API response Location header. | | `TINYPNG_TINIFY_COMPRESS_AND_STORE_IN_AZURE` | Compress and Store Image in Azure | Compress an image using the Tinify API and upload the optimized result directly to Azure Blob Storage in a single operation. The image is first compressed by Tinify, then uploaded to the specified Azure Blob URL using the provided SAS token. Use this when you need to optimize images and store them in Azure without intermediate steps. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP image formats. | | `TINYPNG_TINIFY_OUTPUT` | Download Compressed Image | Tool to retrieve a compressed image by its image ID. Use after compressing an image to download the result. | | `TINYPNG_TRANSFORM_IMAGE` | Transform Compressed Image | Tool to transform a compressed image by resizing, converting format, preserving metadata, or storing to cloud storage. Use when you have an image ID from a previous compression and need to apply transformations. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The TinyPNG MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your TinyPNG account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available TinyPNG tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build TinyPNG MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tinypng/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Drive](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googledrive) - Google Drive is a cloud storage platform for uploading, sharing, and collaborating on files.

With a standalone TinyPNG MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of TinyPNG tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from TinyPNG and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right TinyPNG tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for TinyPNG while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which TinyPNG scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your TinyPNG data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
