Our reading of Foca Upscaler, from the data

Foca Upscaler is a images, video & audio MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its 3 tools add about 609 tokens to every model turn, lighter than the images, video & audio median of 1,807 tokens across 335 measured servers (measured 2026-10-19).

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 2 days ago (2026-10-17). For comparison, 72% of images, video & audio servers are active or maintained.

It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Install Foca Upscaler MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http upscaler https://focaupscaler.com/api/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscaler": {
      "url": "https://focaupscaler.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscaler": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://focaupscaler.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or add it as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors. The config above bridges via mcp-remote.

Tools (3)

upscale_image275 tok
Create a paid asynchronous task from an HTTPS image URL using the physics engine. Requires an active paid subscription or a previously successful credit-pack purchase, sufficient credits, and tier access under the account's plan. The 2K/4K/8K/16K tiers cost 15/30/60/120 credits. Retry the same request with the same idempotency_key, image URL, and resolution_tier.
get_upscale_task217 tok
Read an account-owned task in pending, processing, succeeded, or failed state with top-level credits_remaining. Repeat this tool call about every 5 seconds until the task reaches succeeded or failed; each call reads the stored database state without polling the image provider. A successful result includes a temporary download_url and expires_at.
get_upscale_info64 tok
Check top-level balance and can_create_tasks, available output tiers, prices, and input limits before creating paid tasks.
