Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Tokenlab MCP Server Tools (31)

cancel_task

Cancel async task Cancels a queued asynchronous task when cancellation is supported for the selected task. Cancellation currently supports queued Seedance video tasks (`seedance-1.5-pro`, `seedance-2.0`, and `seedance-2.0-fast`) while they are still waiting to run. Tasks that are already processing, completed, failed, expired, or unsupported are not cancelled.

create_3d_model

Create 3D model generation task Creates a 3D model generation task using Tripo3D. Returns a task ID for polling.

create_anthropic_message

Create message (Anthropic-compatible) Creates a model response using Anthropic's native request format. Supports Claude models with vision and streaming. **Authentication:** Use `x-api-key` header or `Authorization: Bearer` header.

create_chat_completion

Create an OpenAI-compatible chat completion. For inline image_url data URLs, declare the byte-accurate image MIME type. The MCP boundary corrects recognized PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF payloads declared as application/octet-stream and rejects unrecognized generic binary image payloads before sending a billable request.
