Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-image-trim-whitespace": {
      "name": "image-trim-whitespace",
      "description": "Remove whitespace and empty margins from images by detecting and trimming blank areas",

}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "image-trim-whitespace",
    "arguments": {
  "imageFile": "https://example.com/file.ext",
  "sensitivity": 210,
  "checkColor": true,
  "checkTransparency": true,
  "analyzeOnly": false,
  "format": "original",
  "quality": 90
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
