3D Texel missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

generate

generate_3d_model

Textured 3D model (GLB) from an image or a text prompt. texel-3d-pro = state of the art, highest quality, HD texture with PBR maps (base color, metal/roughness, normal); texel-3d-alt = another excellent option, PBR maps; texel-3d-express = fast, decent quality (~20K triangles, PBR); texel-3d-draft = very fast drafts and distant props, color texture only, not for final quality. Without image_url, a reference image is generated from the prompt first. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 180 s.

generate_hdri

360-degree equirectangular HDRI panorama / skybox from a text prompt, true HDR (.hdr) plus an LDR preview image. Realistic or stylized skies, interiors, landscapes. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 150 s.

generate_pbr_material

Seamless PBR material from a text prompt: albedo (base color), normal, roughness and height maps. Realistic or stylized. Precise layouts (herringbone, chevron, Versailles parquet, basket weave, hexagon tiles...) are drawn exactly so they tile. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 120 s.

generate_texture

One AI image from a text prompt (optionally from a reference image): sprites, flipbooks, emissive or UI textures, concept images. No PBR maps: use pbr-material for tileable materials. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 60 s.

asset

get_asset

Full details of one asset: description, tags, license, price, whether it can be downloaded through the API and whether the user already owns it.

assets

search_assets

Search 7,000+ assets: free CC0 handmade PBR materials, HDRIs, decals, 3D models, IES, atlases, landscapes, and AI-generated materials, HDRIs/skyboxes, decals, atlases, heightmaps, animations (UE5/Mixamo), 3D models, alpha brushes. Returns id, title, type, license, price in credits (0 = free), thumbnail and page URL.

balance

get_balance

Credit balance, spending limits of this connection and recent credit movements.

cancel

cancel_generation

Cancel a running generation; its credits are refunded.

checkout

create_checkout_link

Returns a 3dtexel.com link where THE USER buys a credit pack and pays himself. This tool never pays and never touches payment details. Give the link to the user, then check get_balance.

credit

list_credit_packs

Credit packs and prices (EUR/USD). Credits never expire.

download

download_asset

Get signed download URLs for an asset (valid about 30 minutes). Free CC0 assets: no cost. AI assets: charges their price ONCE (then free forever, added to the user's library) — pass max_credits after the user accepted the price. Requires a connected account.

generation

get_generation

Status of a generation: queued, running (with progress and poll_after_seconds), succeeded (with file URLs and license) or failed/canceled (with refund information).

generations

list_generations

The user's recent API generations.

generators

list_generators

All 3D Texel AI generators: which ones run through this API (with parameters and price examples) and which ones are website-only (with their URL).

library

list_my_library

Assets the user owns (re-download for free).

quote

quote_generation

Exact credit price of a generation before running it (and the user's balance when connected). Always show this price to the user before generating.

save

save_generation_to_library

Publishes a succeeded generation (PBR material, HDRI) in the public 3DTexel community library and adds it to the user's library. Free. Only when the user asks.

3D Texel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can 3D Texel do?

It exposes 17 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: cancel_generation, create_checkout_link, download_asset, generate_3d_model, generate_hdri, generate_pbr_material and 11 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is 3D Texel working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 501 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect 3D Texel?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does 3D Texel need an API key?

No. 3D Texel completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 17 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is 3D Texel?

It answers our handshake in 501 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is 3D Texel open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at 3dtexel.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
