Available tools 8

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

balance

get_balance

Show the current prepaid balance in USD.

edit

edit_image

Edit a previously generated image by its img_… id with a natural-language instruction.

generate

generate_image

Generate an image from a text prompt. Returns a hosted URL plus cost and balance. Slow models (mode "async" in list_models) return a j_… job id instead — poll it with check_job.

job

check_job

Check an async generation job by its j_… id. Slow models (mode "async" in list_models) return a job instead of an image — poll this until it succeeds or fails.

models

list_models

List available image models with pricing and latency.

render

render_template

Render a typeset card from a template — a finished, on-brand social image (quote card, post card) in about two seconds. Cheaper and more legible than generating type with a model. Get the templates and their slots from list_templates.

templates

list_templates

List card templates with their slots, style axes and exact price.

upload

upload_asset

Upload an image (PNG or JPEG, ≤5 MB) as a reusable asset — an avatar for a card, for example. Returns an ast_… id to pass into a template slot.

Pixfaro — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pixfaro do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_job, edit_image, generate_image, get_balance, list_models, list_templates and 2 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 Pixfaro 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 257 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Pixfaro?

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 Pixfaro need an API key?

No. Pixfaro completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Pixfaro?

It answers our handshake in 257 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Pixfaro?

The npm package @pixfaro/mcp was installed 30 times in the last week. Week over week that is -3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Pixfaro open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.pixfaro.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
