Quick Start
1. Get an API key
Sign up at developer.topazlabs.com.
2. Add to your MCP client
Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
3. Enhance images

> *\[calls image-enhance tool\]*
> **Note:** This tool requires a file path or URL — it cannot process images uploaded directly in the chat. It works best with **Claude Cowork**, which has file system access. It does not work in Claude Chat mode (no file system access).
> Here's your enhanced image -- upscaled and sharpened with improved detail and clarity.
Compatibility
This server uses **stdio transport**, supported by all major MCP desktop clients:

HTTP streaming transport (for ChatGPT, remote agents, web/mobile clients) is not yet supported but may be added in a future release.
