Image API for AI agents.
Upload, edit, share.

Connect an AI assistant (MCP)

BasePic is an MCP server. Add this address as a remote MCP server (custom connector) in Claude or any MCP client — no key needed:

https://basepic.com/mcp

The assistant gets four tools:

• upload_image — from a public url or image_base64; returns links, an id and a delete_key.
• edit_image — id + operations (and optional format, quality, max_kb); returns a new image with its own links.
• get_image — links and details of an image.
• delete_image — with the delete_key.

Ask it, for example: “Upload this photo to BasePic, rotate it 90 degrees, make it black and white under 200 KB and give me the link.”

ChatGPT (custom GPT Actions)

In a custom GPT, add an Action and import the OpenAPI schema from:

REST API

Upload from a link:

curl -X POST https://basepic.com/api/v1/images \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Upload a file from disk:

curl -X POST 'https://basepic.com/api/v1/images?filename=photo.jpg' \
  -H 'Content-Type: image/jpeg' --data-binary @photo.jpg

The answer (status 201):

{
  "id": "vqSvesFU",
  "name": "photo.jpg",
  "width": 4032, "height": 3024, "size_bytes": 2232999,
  "page_url": "https://basepic.com/vqSvesFU",
  "image_url": "https://basepic.com/vqSvesFU/photo.jpg",
  "download_url": "https://basepic.com/vqSvesFU/photo.jpg?download=1",
  "delete_key": "9f2c…"
}

Edit it — rotate, resize to 1080 px wide, sepia, at most 200 KB. The result is a new image; the original stays:

curl -X POST https://basepic.com/api/v1/images/vqSvesFU/edit \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"operations": [{"op": "rotate", "degrees": 90},
                  {"op": "resize", "width": 1080},
                  {"op": "sepia"}],
       "format": "jpeg", "max_kb": 200}'

Get details, download, delete:

curl https://basepic.com/api/v1/images/vqSvesFU
curl -L -o edited.jpg 'https://basepic.com/vqSvesFU/photo.jpg?download=1'
curl -X DELETE https://basepic.com/api/v1/images/vqSvesFU -H 'X-Delete-Key: 9f2c…'

Edit operations

Up to 20 operations, applied in order. Options: format (jpeg, png, webp), quality (1–100), max_kb (best quality that fits; smaller dimensions if needed). Errors come back as {"error": "…"} with an HTTP status.
