Available tools 8

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

make

make_badge

Label + message + colour → a shields.io-style badge SVG, plus a ready-to-paste Markdown embed line. Stateless URL form: https://ainetcafe.com/i/badge/<label>-<message>-<color> — embed it and it renders forever.

make_chart

Labels + values (or a full Chart.js config) → a chart PNG URL. Bar, line, pie, radar, scatter. Stateless URL form for embedding: https://ainetcafe.com/i/chart/<labels>|<values>

make_qr

Any text or URL → a QR code PNG you can embed or download. Stateless URL form: https://ainetcafe.com/i/qr/<text>

job

check_job

Get the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool>

render

render_diagram

Turn diagram-as-code into an image: Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz/DOT, C4, Excalidraw and 20+ more (self-hosted Kroki). Returns a hosted SVG/PNG URL you can embed directly in Markdown or HTML. Example — GET "https://ainetcafe.com/t/render_diagram?source=graph TD;A--%3EB&format=png"

split

split_spritesheet

Cut a packed sprite sheet / texture atlas into separate transparent PNGs, returned as a zip. Give rows and cols for a uniform grid, or omit them to auto-detect sprites by transparent gaps.

text

text_to_image

Text prompt → a generated image, returned as a hosted URL you can embed straight into Markdown, HTML or a chat reply. Use it for illustrations, covers, concept art, social cards and mockups. Returns a job_id; poll check_job for the image url (about 1 minute). The beta platform covers the user charge ($0.00); capacity is rate-limited.

what

what_can_you_do

Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.

Netcafe Images — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Netcafe Images do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_job, make_badge, make_chart, make_qr, render_diagram, split_spritesheet and 2 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 Netcafe Images working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 64 of 92 checks got a reply (69.6%), average response time 897 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Netcafe Images?

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 Netcafe Images need an API key?

No. Netcafe Images completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Netcafe Images?

It answers our handshake in 897 ms on average, which is faster than 8% 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 Netcafe Images open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
