What can you do with io.github.amortegui84/printscale-mcp?

  • printscale_upscale — upscale an image. Provide a public image_url or
  • printscale_job — check a job's status by id.
  • printscale_credits — show the remaining credit balance.

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package printscale-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add printscale-mcp -e 'PRINTSCALE_API_KEY=<your printscale_api_key>' -- npx -y printscale-mcp@1.0.2
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

    "mcpServers": {
        "printscale-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "printscale-mcp@1.0.2"
            ],
            "env": {
                "PRINTSCALE_API_KEY": "<your printscale_api_key>"

printscale-mcp

An MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) upscale images to print-ready files (TIFF + PNG + JPG) via PrintScale.

Setup

  1. Create an API key at **https://printscale.app/dashboard/api**.
  2. Add the server to your MCP client config, with the key as an env var.
Claude Desktop / Cursor (mcp config)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "printscale": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "printscale-mcp"],
      "env": { "PRINTSCALE_API_KEY": "psk_live_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add printscale -e PRINTSCALE_API_KEY=psk_live_xxx -- npx -y printscale-mcp

Running locally from source instead of npm? Use "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/printscale-mcp/index.mjs"].

Tools

  • printscale_upscale — upscale an image. Provide a public image_url or a local file_path. Choose mode (auto / 2x / 3x / print); for print, set cm and dpi. Returns TIFF/PNG/JPG download URLs. Charges credits.
  • printscale_job — check a job's status by id.
  • printscale_credits — show the remaining credit balance.

Example prompts

  • "Upscale ./product.jpg to 60 cm at 300 DPI for print."
  • "Upscale https://example.com/photo.png at 3x and give me the TIFF."
  • "How many PrintScale credits do I have left?"

Notes

  • Start from a sharp source — PrintScale enlarges detail, it doesn't repair blurry or low-quality images.
  • Outputs are available for 3 days, then deleted. Download within the window.
  • Credits are shared with your PrintScale account (buy them in the app).

Env: PRINTSCALE_API_KEY (required), PRINTSCALE_BASE_URL (optional, defaults to https://printscale.app).
