At a Glance & Executive Verdict
MCP
Developer Tools · Remote HTTP/SSE
Quality: 56/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
PicoBerry
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose MCP if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a hosted cloud SSE transport. Choose PicoBerry if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, PicoBerry belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and PicoBerry when you require tools for developer tools.
Engines + credit cost for a category (`3d` / `image` / `parts-board` / `remesh` / `texture` / `animate`). Call before generating — don't hardcode engines.
list_animation_presets
Animation preset ids (engine-specific), with optional substring filter.
get_credits
Current credit balance + plan.
generate_image
Text → image (+ optional reference image URLs).
generate_3d_from_text
Text → 3D model (GLB).
generate_3d_from_image
Image → 3D model. Single: `image_url` or local `image_path`. Multi-view (2–4 views, higher fidelity): `image_urls` or `image_paths`, ordered [front, left, back, right] — tripo\*/meshy6/hunyuan-3.x only.
parts_board
Decompose one image into an exploded parts-board image (server-fixed engine). Input `asset_id`, `image_url`, or local `image_path`; feed the result to `generate_3d_from_image` for a parts-separated mesh.
remesh
Retopologize an existing 3D asset → new asset.
texture
Re-texture (PBR) an existing 3D asset → new asset.
animate
Auto-rig + animate an existing 3D character → new asset.
get_asset
Status + result URLs for one asset.
wait_for_asset
Poll until an asset finishes (or times out), then return it.
