MCP Image Support

[jamesev15]

Hi! I'm wondering if you guys have in your roadmap the support of Image coming from MCP Servers. I've tried to return and Image from a MCP Server following the python sdk, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for continue guys!

from PIL import Image as PILImage

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP, Image

mcp = FastMCP("Image Example")


@mcp.tool()
def create_thumbnail(image_path: str) -> Image:
    """Create a thumbnail from an image"""
    img = PILImage.open(image_path)
    img.thumbnail((100, 100))
    return Image(data=img.tobytes(), format="png")

Is this similar to the mcp-ui demos floating around. Can you give more details on your use case for images?
