Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check AXIS Avatar Foundry every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
axis
axis_compare
Compare two avatar contracts. Returns similarity score and section-level diffs. [Paid: $0.10 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
axis_export
Export an avatar to a target engine platform with validation and HMAC-signed manifest. [Paid: $0.50 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
axis_inspect
Inspect an avatar's contract state and provenance chain (stage, bone/vertex counts, provenance step count, chain_valid + any broken links). Does not return a quality grade — use axis_validate for pass/warn/fail rule results. [Paid: $0.10 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
axis_list_capabilities
List all AXIS Foundry capabilities (input formats, export platforms, validation rules). [Free — no payment required.]
axis_manifest_verify
Verify an export manifest's integrity and optionally check content hash. [Paid: $0.10 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
axis_process
Run the full AXIS avatar pipeline (classify → normalize → rig → skin → validate). Returns contract summary. [Paid: $1.50 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
axis_validate
Validate an avatar mesh file. Returns pass/warn/fail counts and detailed rule results. [Paid: $0.25 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
generate
generate_avatar_from_image
PAID (x402, 6 USDC): generate a production 3D avatar from a reference photo (base64) — xAI A-pose normalize → TRELLIS.2 GPU mesh → full canonical post-process. Payment settles ONLY when generation completes; a failed generation is never charged. Returns a job_id — poll with the free get_generation_status tool (typical runtime 5-15 minutes). Pass idempotency_key when a retry is possible (timeout/5xx) — replaying the same key returns the original job_id instead of a second GPU job/charge. [Paid: $6.00 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; DEFERRED settlement — charged only when the generation job completes, a failed job is never charged. Poll get_generation_status (free).]
generate_avatar_from_text
PAID (x402, 5 USDC): generate a production 3D avatar from a text prompt — xAI concept image → TRELLIS.2 GPU mesh → full canonical post-process (repair/validate/export). Payment settles ONLY when generation completes; a failed generation is never charged. Returns a job_id — poll with the free get_generation_status tool (typical runtime 5-15 minutes). Pass idempotency_key when a retry is possible (timeout/5xx) — replaying the same key returns the original job_id instead of a second GPU job/charge. [Paid: $5.00 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; DEFERRED settlement — charged only when the generation job completes, a failed job is never charged. Poll get_generation_status (free).]
generation
get_generation_status
FREE: poll a generation job submitted by the paid generate tools. Returns status/progress; once complete AND the deferred payment has settled, returns the download URLs. A failed generation reports charged=false. Look up by job_id, or by idempotency_key + payer if the job_id was lost. [Free — no payment required.]
post
post_process_mesh
Post-process a RAW generated mesh (normalize → mesh-repair → rig/skin → validate → export) and return the finished, validated GLB as base64. The inline counterpart of axis_process (which needs a server file path) — the generation post-process step, callable by an LLM/agent that holds the mesh bytes (e.g. fresh TRELLIS output) or a URL to them. Provide the mesh EXACTLY one of two ways: inline as base64 (glb_base64) or as an HTTPS URL (mesh_url) — the URL's host must be on this server's operator-configured allowlist (off by default; an unconfigured allowlist refuses every mesh_url call, it is never open to an arbitrary host). Providing both or neither is a real input error. [Paid: $1.50 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
repair
repair_mesh
Repair a mesh into AXIS canonical frame (scale/axis/degenerates/normals) and return repair metrics. [Paid: $0.75 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
retarget
retarget_animation
Retarget a built-in animation clip to a platform mapping and report coverage + deterministic hashes. [Paid: $0.75 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]
roblox
roblox_compliance_check
Run Roblox R15 compliance checks against a mesh using canonical pipeline outputs. [Paid: $0.25 USDC via x402 for unauthenticated calls on the hosted /mcp endpoint; settled only on a successful (non-error) result.]

AXIS Avatar Foundry — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can AXIS Avatar Foundry do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: axis_compare, axis_export, axis_inspect, axis_list_capabilities, axis_manifest_verify, axis_process and 8 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 →
What is AXIS Avatar Foundry mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around axis and generate. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is AXIS Avatar Foundry 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 448 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect AXIS Avatar Foundry?
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 AXIS Avatar Foundry need an API key?
No. AXIS Avatar Foundry completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AXIS Avatar Foundry?
It answers our handshake in 448 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
