Pixel Surgeon MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• edit_image

  Edit an existing image. Supports Gemini and OpenAI models — pass the model param to choose. Provide the filename of an image in … (use list_images to see available files, or save_image to import one first). The MCP reads the file directly — do NOT pass base64 image data.

• fix_image

  Fix an image that has glitched or garbled text by splitting it into tiles, re-rendering each tile, and stitching them back together. This works because smaller sections have less text for the model to handle at once. Use this when a generated image has text artifacts or overloaded text regions.

• fix_region

  Fix a specific region of an image by cropping it out, sending it for repair, and reinserting it. The crop is automatically snapped to the nearest supported aspect ratio. Use this when only part of an image has glitched text or artifacts — more precise than fix_image's grid approach.

• generate_image

  Generate a single image. Supports Gemini and OpenAI models — pass the model param to choose. Full-resolution image is viewable in the browser viewer.

• generate_images

  Generate multiple images in parallel. Supports Gemini and OpenAI models — pass the model param to choose. Returns the generated images and any accompanying text. Full-resolution images are viewable in the browser viewer.

• generate_video

  Generate a video using Google's Veo 3. Returns an MP4 video file. Video generation takes 1-3 minutes — the tool will poll until complete. Veo 3 generates both video and ambient audio. Videos are saved to the shared directory and viewable in the browser viewer.

• interactive_fix

  Opens an image in a browser-based crop tool where the user can draw a rectangle around the region to fix, add notes/instructions, and submit. The tool waits for the user's selection, then sends the cropped region for repair and composites it back into the original image. Best for precise, user-guided fixes.

• list_images

  List image and video files in the shared pixel-surgeon directory (…). Use this to find images available for editing.

• remove_backgroundwrite action

  Remove a background color from an image and make it transparent. Outputs a PNG with alpha channel. The image must already exist in … (use save_image to import first).

• save_image

  Copy an image file into the shared pixel-surgeon directory (…) so it can be used with edit_image. Use this when the user wants to edit an image that exists elsewhere on their filesystem.

• trace_to_svg

  Convert a raster image to SVG using potrace vectorization. Best for line art, diagrams, logos, and high-contrast images. The image must already exist in … (use save_image to import first).
