What this server can do

4 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually 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(image_base64, output_format)
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: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). output_format: Output format -- 'png' (with transparency) or 'webp'. Returns: dict with keys: - image_base64 (str): Base64-encoded result image - format (str): Output image format - original_size (dict): Original width and height - processing_ms (int): Processing time in milliseconds Required: image_base64.
restore_face(upscale, image_base64, enhance_background)
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, sub-3s latency. Args: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data containing faces (PNG, JPEG, WebP). upscale: Output upscale factor -- 1 to 4 (default: 2). enhance_background: Whether to enhance background with Real-ESRGAN (default: true). Returns: dict with keys: - image (str): Base64-encoded restored image - format (str): Output image format - width (int): Output width - height (int): Output height - upscale (int): Scale factor applied - processing_time_ms (float): Processing time in milliseconds Required: image_base64.
upscale_image(scale, image_base64)
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: Base64-encoded image data (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). scale: Upscale factor -- 2 or 4 (default: 4). Returns: dict with keys: - image (str): Base64-encoded upscaled image - format (str): Output image format - width (int): Output width - height (int): Output height - scale (int): Scale factor applied - processing_time_ms (float): Processing time in milliseconds Required: image_base64.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source
GitHub stars 2 Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. cumulative, all time GitHub
Last commit 2026-08-03 Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. point in time GitHub
Open issues 24 Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. as of fetch GitHub

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as api-examples, language-learning, pronunciation, pt-br. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
