Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Brainiall Image every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 10

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

document
document_extract
Turn a document image into structured fields. doc_type picks the schema (receipt/invoice/id/contract/form/generic). A page with no readable text returns an error rather than a guess. Returns: dict with keys: doc_type (str), fields (dict — null for any value not present), text (str — the recognised plain text).
document_query
Ask a natural-language question about a document image; returns a grounded answer plus the supporting line. Returns found:false rather than guessing when the document doesn't contain the answer. Returns: dict with keys: answer (str|null), found (bool), supporting_text (str|null), text (str).
document_tables
Reconstruct every table in a document image into headers and rows. Returns: dict with keys: table_count (int), tables (list of {title, headers, rows, row_count, column_count}); [] if there are no tables.
document_to_markdown
Return the document as structured Markdown (headings, tables, lists, code blocks, math). Brainiall Doc Layout engine. The single API for converting documents to LLM-friendly format.
background
remove_background
Remove the background from an image. Uses Brainiall Cutout engine segmentation to precisely separate foreground from background. Returns a base64-encoded image with transparent background (PNG) or white background (WebP). Sub-500ms latency on GPU. Args: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). output_format: Output format -- 'png' (with transparency) or 'webp'. Returns: dict with keys: - image_base64 (str): Base64-encoded result image - format (str): Output image format - original_size (dict): Original width and height - processing_ms (int): Processing time in milliseconds
image
check_image_service
Check health status of Image API services and loaded models. Returns: dict with keys: - status (str): 'healthy' or error state - models (dict): Loaded model status per capability - version (str): API version
restore
restore_face
Restore and enhance faces in an image with the Brainiall face-restoration engine. Detects all faces via RetinaFace, restores quality (fixes blur, noise, compression artifacts), and pastes them back. Optionally enhances the background with the Brainiall image-upscaling engine. GPU-accelerated, sub-3s latency. Args: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data containing faces (PNG, JPEG, WebP). upscale: Output upscale factor -- 1 to 4 (default: 2). enhance_background: Whether to enhance background with the Brainiall image-upscaling engine (default: true). Returns: dict with keys: - image (str): Base64-encoded restored image - format (str): Output image format - width (int): Output width - height (int): Output height - upscale (int): Scale factor applied - processing_time_ms (float): Processing time in milliseconds
skillsets
run_skillsets
Run a multi-skill enrichment pipeline over a document image or text in one call. Brainiall Skillsets engine. Returns per-skill outputs ready for indexing or RAG.
understand
understand_content
Multimodal extraction. Send an image, text, or both; define your schema of fields; get structured JSON. Brainiall Content Understanding engine. Unified multimodal field extraction over images and text.
upscale
upscale_image
Upscale image resolution with the Brainiall image-upscaling engine. Enhances image resolution by 2x or 4x with the GPU-accelerated Brainiall image-upscaling engine super-resolution. Processes in tiles (256x256) to manage VRAM. Maximum output dimension: 8192x8192. Args: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). scale: Upscale factor -- 2 or 4 (default: 4). Returns: dict with keys: - image (str): Base64-encoded upscaled image - format (str): Output image format - width (int): Output width - height (int): Output height - scale (int): Scale factor applied - processing_time_ms (float): Processing time in milliseconds

Brainiall Image — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Brainiall Image do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_image_service, document_extract, document_query, document_tables, document_to_markdown, remove_background and 4 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 Brainiall Image working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 376 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Brainiall Image?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Brainiall Image need an API key?
No. Brainiall Image completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Brainiall Image?
It answers our handshake in 376 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
