Mochify - Automate Image Workflows

What it is

The mochify.app image pipeline as both a command-line tool and an MCP server. Point it at a file path and it converts to modern formats, resizes, crops, rotates, or splits and rasterizes a PDF, writing the result next to the input.

What you get

• squish handles images; pdf handles PDF split and rasterize
• Output formats jpg, png, webp, avif and jxl
• Width and height with --crop for exact dimensions, guided by saliency rather than a centre crop
• --clarity for midtone contrast, and rotation at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees
• PDFs: --op split for one file per page, or --op rasterize with --dpi and -q for quality
• Results named {name}_mochified.{ext} when format and directory are unchanged, so it is obvious something happened
• Files processed in memory on the API side and never written to disk there

Requirements

Install the mochify binary — Homebrew, Scoop, a release download, or cargo install mochify. Run mochify auth login once: it opens a browser and saves credentials to ~/.config/mochify/credentials.toml, which both the CLI and the server pick up; MOCHIFY_API_KEY is the override. Then add mochify serve to your client config. Without an account you get 3 images per batch; a free account gives 25 a month at up to 20 MB per file, and paid plans raise both. MIT licensed.
