Available tools 6

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

background

remove_background

Remove an image's background, isolating the subject (BiRefNet AI segmentation). $0.02 per call. Input: an image via source URL. Params: background (optional fill color for the removed area, e.g. 'white'; omit for a transparent cutout — use a PNG/WebP output to keep transparency). Output: the cut-out image as a short-lived signed URL.

optimize

optimize

Convert format and/or compress an image. $0.005 per call. Input: an image via source URL. Params: format (webp|avif|jpeg|png|gif); quality (1-100, default 85 — lower is smaller). At least one of format/quality is required. Output: the optimized image as a short-lived signed URL.

process

process

Apply an ordered pipeline of image ops in a single paid call: one payment, one output. Price is the sum of the included ops’ prices — call without payment to get a 402 quote. Input: source (image URL), steps (ordered [{op, params}], e.g. [{"op":"remove_background"},{"op":"resize","params":{"width":800}}]). Call service_info for the available ops and their per-op prices. Output: the processed image as a short-lived signed URL.

resize

resize

service

service_info

Free. Returns x402image service metadata and the list of paid image tools with their per-call USD prices. No payment or input required. Call this first to discover capabilities and pricing.

upscale

upscale

Upscale an image with AI super-resolution (ESRGAN) for sharper enlargement. $0.02 per call. Input: an image via source URL. Params: width and/or height (target pixels; at least one required). Output: the enlarged image as a short-lived signed URL.

x402image — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can x402image do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: optimize, process, remove_background, resize, service_info, upscale. 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 x402image working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 75 of 91 checks got a reply (82.4%), average response time 1463 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect x402image?

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 x402image need an API key?

No. x402image completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is x402image?

It answers our handshake in 1463 ms on average, which is faster than 2% 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.
