Sanity Images MCP server

MCP server for uploading local images to Sanity CMS. Lets AI assistants upload files from your filesystem directly into Sanity as image assets.

Quick Start

1. Get your Sanity token

Either set the SANITY_TOKEN env var, or just log in with the Sanity CLI:

npx sanity login

The server reads the token from the Sanity CLI config automatically (~/.config/sanity/config.json on all platforms).

2. Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add sanity-images --scope user --transport stdio \
  -e SANITY_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id \
  -- npx -y mcp-sanity-images@latest

That's it. Restart Claude Code and the tools are available. Every session runs the latest version automatically.

Also works with bunx mcp-sanity-images@latest if you have Bun.
