Image Tools - Background Removal, Upscaling & Face Restoration is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 4 tools, among them check_image_service, remove_background, restore_face. It answers at https://apim-ai-apis.azure-api.net/mcp/image/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, succeeded.
Background removal, 4x upscaling, and face restoration via GPU
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
check_image_service | Check health status of Image API services and loaded models. Returns: dict with keys: - status (str): 'healthy' or error state - models (dict): Loaded model status per capability - version (str): API version |
remove_background | Remove the background from an image. Uses BiRefNet segmentation to precisely separate foreground from background. Returns a base64-encoded image with transparent background (PNG) or white background (WebP). Sub-500ms latency on GPU. Args: i Inputs: image_base64, output_format |
restore_face | Restore and enhance faces in an image using GFPGAN. Detects all faces via RetinaFace, restores quality (fixes blur, noise, compression artifacts), and pastes them back. Optionally enhances the background using Real-ESRGAN. GPU-accelerated, Inputs: image_base64, upscale, enhance_background |
upscale_image | Upscale image resolution using Real-ESRGAN. Enhances image resolution by 2x or 4x using GPU-accelerated Real-ESRGAN super-resolution. Processes in tiles (256x256) to manage VRAM. Maximum output dimension: 8192x8192. Args: image_base64: Base Inputs: image_base64, scale |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://apim-ai-apis.azure-api.net/mcp/image/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
