Officialby Topaz Labscreditsverified Sep 18, 2026

Official Topaz Labs MCP — enhance and upscale images with Topaz AI models.

What it does

Topaz Labs' own MCP server: send an image path or URL, get back an enhanced/upscaled version from one of 8 Topaz models — four standard (Standard V2, Low Resolution V2, CGI, High Fidelity V2) and four generative (Redefine, Recover 3, Standard MAX, Wonder 2) — defaulting to Standard V2 with auto-upscale to 2K. The official path to Topaz-grade enhancement for stills, plates, and frames in an agent pipeline.

Field notes

Official, MIT, TypeScript — and dormant: re-checked 18 Sep 2026 and nothing has moved. v0.1.14 on npm and the last repo commit both still date to 16 Feb 2026, seven months ago; the repo has gained one star in five weeks (6 total) and no commits. It installs and runs, but nobody is extending it. IMAGE ONLY — the README still says 'Image only -- video enhancement is not yet supported' via MCP even though Topaz's developer API covers Video AI, Photo AI, and Gigapixel, and it still lists HTTP streaming transport as 'not yet supported but may be added in a future release', so ChatGPT, remote agents and web/mobile clients are out. One tool, image-enhance, taking a local path or URL: a filesystem-capable client is required (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code — not Claude's browser chat). The key_url here changed this run — Topaz's old how-do-i-get-my-api-key page now 404s and the live page is getting-started/api-key-setup, which warns the key is shown exactly once at creation. For Topaz VIDEO upscaling today, go around it to the Topaz models hosted on fal.ai via the fal MCP (fal-ai/topaz/upscale/video — re-confirmed 18 Sep 2026 at $0.01/second up to 720p, $0.02 to 1080p, $0.08 above 1080p, doubled for 60fps output and halved for Gaia 2).
