Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
PicoBerry Tools (14)
list_models
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.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
PicoBerry is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Next Devtools MCP belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select PicoBerry when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Next Devtools MCP when you require tools for developer tools.
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.
