Tool Tokens
authenticate ~51

Authenticate this MCP session with a RetroDiffusion public API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystringyesRetroDiffusion API key (rdpk-...), created free at https://retrodiffusion.ai/app/devtools.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

create_inference ~752

Generate images using the public /v1/inferences endpoint. For the highest quality prefer RD Pro styles (rd_pro__*); they support reference_images for character/style consistency. For animation styles prefer start_inference_job + get_inference_job instead — animations are long-running. Use `input_image` for the main source image, `reference_images` for extra per-inference guidance, and `style_reference_images` only on create_user_style/update_user_style. The response excludes raw base64 image payloads to keep MCP outputs compact.

fix_pixel_art ~353

Recover the native pixel grid from enlarged, softened, AI-rendered, or compressed pixel art. Standard uses the native Rust detector. Neural uses the neural reconstruction engine and accepts optional target width and height values. This repairs existing art—it does not generate a new image. Both engines are free and share a limit of 10 requests per minute per API token. Provide exactly one source as base64 input_image or a public HTTPS image_url. URL input avoids the ALB request-body limit. Decoded images may contain up to 16 megapixels. Successful response JSON is limited to 850,000 bytes for AWS ALB compatibility.
