Today is the operative word: we check Foca Upscaler 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 3

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

upscale

get_upscale_info

Check top-level balance and can_create_tasks, available output tiers, prices, and input limits before creating paid tasks.

get_upscale_task

Read an account-owned task in pending, processing, succeeded, or failed state with top-level credits_remaining. Repeat this tool call about every 5 seconds until the task reaches succeeded or failed; each call reads the stored database state without polling the image provider. A successful result includes a temporary download_url and expires_at.

upscale_image

Create a paid asynchronous task from an HTTPS image URL using the physics engine. Requires an active paid subscription or a previously successful credit-pack purchase, sufficient credits, and tier access under the account's plan. The 2K/4K/8K/16K tiers cost 15/30/60/120 credits. Retry the same request with the same idempotency_key, image URL, and resolution_tier.

Foca Upscaler — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Foca Upscaler do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_upscale_info, get_upscale_task, upscale_image. 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 Foca Upscaler 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 461 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Foca Upscaler?

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 Foca Upscaler need an API key?

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

How fast is Foca Upscaler?

It answers our handshake in 461 ms on average, which is faster than 25% 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.
