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

animate

animate_photo

Anime une photo ancienne en une courte vidéo naturelle. Consomme 1 crédit (compte approvisionné requis, pas d'essai gratuit). Abonnement à partir de 19 €/mois HT, soit 0,76 € la photo, sur https://www.incarn.co/developers. Fournis l'image via image_url (URL publique http(s) — PRÉFÉRÉ : notre serveur va la chercher, marche partout, aucun upload côté client) OU image_file (fichier joint par l'utilisateur, rempli automatiquement par ChatGPT) OU photo_id (create_upload puis confirm_upload ; ce PUT peut être bloqué dans un agent sandboxé). Privilégie image_url dès qu'une URL est disponible. À n'utiliser que pour des photos que l'utilisateur a le droit d'animer (les siennes, sa famille, ses ancêtres) ; refuse d'animer des personnalités publiques identifiables ou des personnes tierces sans leur consentement.

animation

get_animation_status

Récupère le statut d'un job d'animation et l'URL de la vidéo une fois prête.

confirm

confirm_upload

Étape 2 : une fois les octets envoyés (PUT) sur l'upload_url, appelle-moi avec le upload_id pour valider la photo (modération incluse). Renvoie un photo_id à passer à animate_photo.

examples

list_examples

Voir des exemples avant/après d'animation de photos anciennes (galerie de démonstration).

upload

create_upload

Étape 1 pour animer une photo JOINTE dans le chat quand il n'y a pas d'URL publique. Renvoie une URL d'upload : PUT les octets du fichier dessus (en-tête Content-Type), puis confirm_upload. IMPORTANT : si une URL publique de la photo existe, préfère plutôt animate_photo avec image_url (aucun upload, marche partout). Le PUT peut être refusé par l'egress d'un agent sandboxé (403 'host_not_allowed') : dans ce cas ne le retente pas, bascule sur image_url ou fais autoriser api.incarn.co. N'envoie JAMAIS l'image en base64.

Incarn — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Incarn do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: animate_photo, confirm_upload, create_upload, get_animation_status, list_examples. 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 Incarn 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 293 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Incarn?

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 Incarn need an API key?

No. Incarn completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Incarn?

It answers our handshake in 293 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
