feature request: Support image upload when use as a MCP server

[ss-zheng]

Thanks for this useful tool, and I was able to make use of it using the Cursor and Claude client. However, I noticed the image upload option is missing when using it as an MCP server?

Do you have any plans to add this feature shortly?

Yes, I've been thinking about this. I don't have any timeline in mind because I need to find the time to experiment and see what might work. I'll leave this open to track the request.

I spent some time investigating this and there's just no support in the MCP protocol at this point. The only way to get it to work would be to have the user enter the full file path into the prompt box, but that's clunky and error-prone. The best user experience would be to drag an image into the agent's window and say "post with this image," but the agents right now don't have access to either the filename or the raw data of the image to pass to the MCP tool.

This seems like a use case that they'll want to support at some point, so I'll keep an eye on this issue:
