Available tools 4

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

credit
credit_card_photo_instructions
Return safe capture guidance for upstream CR80 pixel picking. The image stays with the caller or upstream vision system; SmartScale only receives numeric pixel geometry.
describe
describe
Return SmartScale capabilities and input contract.
health
health
Return SmartScale health status.
scale
scale_objects_from_credit_card
Scale object pixel dimensions using a standard CR80 credit card reference. Args: image_id: Caller-defined source identifier; no image is uploaded. credit_card_pixel_width: Caller-supplied pixel width of a CR80-size card. objects: Objects to scale. Each object needs pixel_width and pixel_height; label, pixel_area, pixel_perimeter, and input confidence are optional. credit_card_pixel_height: Optional caller-supplied height for distortion check. payment_ref: Optional paid escrow reference consumed by the gateway. request_id: Optional retry-safe idempotency key (maximum 128 characters).

Smartscale — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Smartscale do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: credit_card_photo_instructions, describe, health, scale_objects_from_credit_card. 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 Smartscale 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 332 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Smartscale?
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 Smartscale need an API key?
No. Smartscale completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Smartscale?
It answers our handshake in 332 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Smartscale open source?
Yes — written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
