get_diff_of_imagesCompare two images pixel-by-pixel and identify visual differences. Returns structured diff data including: - Overall diff percentage and pixel counts - Clusters of different regions with bounding box coordinates (x, y, width, height) - Severity rating per cluster (trivial/minor/moderate/major) - Clustering metadata with the gap used and suggestions for tuning - File paths to generated heatmap imag

Install Image Diff in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @pulsemcp/image-diff-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

PulseMCP's MCP Servers
We build reliable servers thoughtfully designed for MCP Client-powered workflows.
Design principles
You can have confidence that any Pulse-branded MCP server was built with these north stars in mind:
- Purpose-built. LLM-powered MCP clients offer uniquely new user interaction patterns that necessitate a different layer of abstraction than the REST API's from a pre-AI era. We thoughtfully scope drawing lines like building a new server, versus incorporating a new feature in another server. Or deciding where one slew of REST API endpoints might be better packaged as a single Tool call. And more.
- Easy set up. Many MCP servers die before ever getting a chance to be used. We offer guides and a frustration-free experience to get going with our MCP servers inside your favorite MCP clients.
- Time savings. By minimizing the number of tool chain steps or conversational turns you need to accomplish a task, our MCP servers will save you (and your agents) time waiting for a task to be completed.
- Inference cost savings. By minimizing the number of tokens you need to consume to a accomplish a task, our MCP servers will save you on your LLM inference bills.
- Reliability. You should have confidence that you can deploy our servers in a production application serving mass market consumers or business clients.
- Future-proof. We sit on the bleeding edge of the MCP specification, working to push the ecosystem forward. As such, you can be sure that if you commit to baking our server into your workflow, it will self-improve over time to take advantage of the latest and greatest MCP features.

Productionized Servers
These are PulseMCP-branded servers that we intend to maintain indefinitely as our own offerings.
The MCP Registry column controls whether the server is published to the official MCP Registry (com.pulsemcp/) by the publish-mcp-registry.yml workflow.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
