Topaz MCP Overview

TopazLabs/topaz-mcp MCP server lets MCP-compatible AI assistants enhance images through the Topaz Labs API. Its `image-enhance` tool accepts a local file path or image URL, with optional output dimensions, scale, and model selection. It defaults to Standard V2 and upscales images below 2K width when no size is supplied. Reach for it when an agent needs cloud-based image upscaling, sharpening, denoising, or quality improvement; it does not support video.
