Tools & capabilities
Glassypic tools 5
optimize_imageOptimize an image: smart lossy compression (typically 60-80% size reduction), optional resize/upscale/format conversion, and AI-generated SEO metadata. Accepts absolute local file paths or remote URLs. In remote/API mode, only remote URLs are supported. Supported input formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG, ICO, HEIC, TIFF, BMP (max 50 MB). Supported output formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG, ICO. Credits: 3 to compress (always), +1 if width or height is set, +2 to upscale, +1 for SEO tags (on by default). A full pipeline is 7 credits. Upscale is charged whether you request it or the server adds it automatically — it does so whenever a resize target exceeds the source by more than 1.2x, so a resize-only call on a small image also costs 7. SVG or ICO output is a flat 1 credit, overriding everything above. Animated GIFs are billed per frame: (per-frame operations x frames) + 1 if tags, up to 601 credits at the 100-frame limit — confirm_gif_cost gates that path. GIFs are excluded from automatic upscaling. Guest (unregistered): 20 credits/day, no signup. Log in with the login tool for more credits — registered Free tier is 30/day. Use status tool to check remaining credits before batch processing.loginLog in to your GlassyPic account via browser to unlock more credits. Opens a browser window where you complete login (Google, Facebook, or email). After login, MCP automatically picks up your account with shared credits across web and MCP. Registered accounts receive a larger credit allowance than guest sessions; use the status tool to read the account's actual tier and remaining credits. Your access token and email are stored locally at ~/.glassypic/session.json (file mode 0600) until you run logout.logoutLog out of your GlassyPic account. Reverts to guest session (20 free credits/day). Your web app account is not affected.statusCheck your GlassyPic account status: login state, tier, credits remaining, and credit reset time. Use this before batch processing to verify sufficient credits.upgradeOpen the GlassyPic pricing page in the user's browser, where the account's plan can be reviewed and changed. Call this only when the user asks to change or review their plan.
Prompt To Asset tools 24
asset_capabilitiesReport which of the three execution modes this server can run RIGHT NOW given the current env: inline_svg (zero key — hosting LLM authors the SVG), external_prompt_only (zero key — paste prompt into Ideogram/Nano Banana/Midjourney/Recraft/Flux UIs, then asset_ingest_external), api (requires provider key). Read-only; no network. Call before offering the user options.asset_enhance_promptClassify an asset brief, route to the right model, rewrite the prompt in that model's dialect, and report which execution modes are available (inline_svg / external_prompt_only / api). Returns an AssetSpec JSON including modes_available, optional svg_brief (for inline_svg), optional paste_targets (for external_prompt_only), and — when the brief leaves a material ambiguity — a `clarifying_questions[]` array the host LLM should surface via AskUserQuestion (or the equivalent) BEFORE calling a generator. Each entry has {id, header, question, options[], required, why}. Read-only; idempotent; no network.asset_generate_logoGenerate a logo. Three modes: inline_svg (Claude emits SVG — zero key), external_prompt_only (returns prompt + paste targets — zero key), api (server runs the provider pipeline — requires key). Omit mode to auto-select. Returns an AssetBundle / InlineSvgPlan / ExternalPromptPlan discriminated by the mode field.asset_generate_app_iconGenerate an app icon (iOS AppIconSet, Android adaptive, PWA maskable, visionOS 1024² master + placeholder parallax layers). Three modes (inline_svg / external_prompt_only / api). In non-api modes only the master mark is produced; call asset_ingest_external afterwards to run the platform fan-out. Set ios_18_appearances=true to also emit dark and tinted 1024² variants for iOS 18 tintable icons.asset_generate_faviconGenerate a favicon bundle (favicon-{16,32,48}.png + icon.svg + icon-dark.svg + apple-touch + PWA 192/512/512-maskable + <link> snippet). Three modes — inline_svg is the best fit for simple glyph marks (legible at 16×16).asset_generate_og_imageRender a 1200×630 OG image via Satori template (deterministic typography, no diffusion). Default mode=api renders server-side without any API key. external_prompt_only is only meaningful when with_background_image is set. inline_svg is not supported (web-font loading + precise text layout beyond LLM reach).asset_generate_illustrationGenerate one or more brand-locked illustrations. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported — path budget too small for a composed scene. Injects brand bundle (palette, style_refs, LoRA, style_id) where supported.asset_generate_splash_screenGenerate a cross-platform splash-screen bundle from a brand mark. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported (splash screens are PNG bundles — generate a logo inline_svg first, then call this with existing_mark_svg). api mode composites the mark onto background_color and emits ios/LaunchScreen-2732.png, android/mipmap-*dpi/splash.png, android/themes-splash.xml, pwa/splash-1200.png, and a README describing how to wire each.asset_generate_heroGenerate marketing-hero / landing-page banner art. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported. Accepts aspect_ratio (16:9 / 21:9 / 3:2 / 2:1). Injects brand bundle where supported. Returns N variants if count>1.asset_remove_backgroundMatte an image to transparent background (BiRefNet / BRIA RMBG / U²-Net via remote endpoint; local white-chroma fallback). Returns RGBA PNG path.asset_vectorizeConvert a raster image to SVG. Tries in order: Recraft /vectorize (if PROMPT_TO_BUNDLE_RECRAFT_VECTORIZE_URL is set), vtracer on PATH, potrace on PATH, then a built-in posterize run-length fallback. Passes all output through SVGO when installed.asset_upscale_refineUpscale / refine an image, asset-type-aware. DAT2 for flat logos/icons, Real-ESRGAN/SUPIR for photoreal, img2img for diffusion polish. Lanczos fallback.- +12 more on the listing page
