How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security92
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- The endpoint enforces authorisation, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism. View diagnostics → Pass

Unverified: 6 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.

create_gangsheet Lay pieces out on a printable sheet (nesting) ~123
Arrange several designs on a roll to print them together with as little waste as possible — a gang sheet. Give one entry per design with how many copies and what print height in cm. Costs 5 credits plus 3 per linear metre of the finished sheet, charged when it completes. Always returns a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status.

halftone_image Convert artwork to a halftone (dots) for printing ~142
Turn artwork into a halftone of dots, which prints softer and lighter on a garment. style: 'artistic' (default) or 'garment' (adapts the dots to the garment color: pass garment_hex, e.g. #202020). dot_spacing is the distance between dots in pixels, max_radius their largest radius. Costs 0.5 credit (1 over 25 megapixels).

improve_image Improve artwork: colors, noise, logos or faces ~169
Fix a picture before printing. operation: 'colors' (default; saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness: 1.0 means no change, 0.5 credit), 'denoise' (removes grain and compression dirt, 1 credit), 'logo' (clean edges and flat colors for logos and drawings, 1 credit) or 'face' (restores blurry faces, 1 credit). Over 25 megapixels costs double. If it runs long you get a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status.

inspect_image_for_print Check if an image can be printed at a given size ~136
Answer the question a print shop asks every day: can this artwork be printed at N cm without looking bad? Reports real pixel size, the largest print height at 300 dpi (optimal) and 150 dpi (floor), whether it has transparency, rough ink coverage, and warnings. Read-only, runs on CPU, costs NO credits. Run this before upscaling or laying out a sheet — it often makes the paid tool unnecessary. Pass target_height_cm to get a straight yes/no for a specific size.

knockout_color Knock a color out of artwork (make it transparent) ~145
Make black, white or one chosen color transparent (a knockout, for DTF on dark or light garments). remove: 'black' (default), 'white' or 'color' (then color_hex is required, like #FF0000). tolerance 0-255 sets how close a pixel must be. Costs 0.5 credit (1 over 25 megapixels). If it runs long you get a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status, do not call it again.

pigmenta_account PigmentaLab account and balance ~53
Check which PigmentaLab account this connection is using and how many credits it has left. Read-only and free. Use it to confirm the connection works before spending credits, or when a tool reports an insufficient balance.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
pigmenta_create_upload Get an upload link for an image ~102
Create a short-lived link where the person can drop an image file, and get back a handle to pass to the other tools. Use this whenever you need a file the person has NOT attached in a way you can forward — on Claude and Gemini that is always the case. Tell the person to open the link, drop the file and tell you when it is done; then call the tool you wanted with the handle. The page speaks the person's browser language.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
pigmenta_job_status Check a PigmentaLab job and get its result ~68
Check a job started by another PigmentaLab tool and, when it is done, get the preview and the download link. Wait the number of seconds the previous response suggested before calling, and keep polling this instead of re-running the original tool.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

pigmenta_pricing PigmentaLab price list ~48
List what every PigmentaLab tool costs in credits. Read-only, free, needs no account. Use it to answer 'how much would this cost' before running a paid tool.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remove_background Remove the background from artwork ~85
Remove the background and return a PNG with transparency, ready to print on a garment. Costs 1 credit (2 for images over 25 megapixels). Takes about 10-30 seconds; if it runs long you get a job_id — poll pigmenta_job_status, do not call this again.

upscale_image Upscale artwork to a print size ~121
Enlarge an image to a target PRINT HEIGHT in centimetres at 300 dpi, keeping edges clean for textile printing. height_cm is the height of the finished print, not the longest side. Costs 1 credit (2 over 25 megapixels). Run inspect_image_for_print first: if the image already covers the size, this is not needed.

How do I install the PigmentaLab MCP server?
PigmentaLab is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.pigmentalab.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the PigmentaLab MCP server?
PigmentaLab is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.pigmentalab/mcp. DTF and textile pre-press: print check, background removal, upscaling, halftones and gang sheets. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.pigmentalab.io/mcp).
Is the PigmentaLab MCP server safe to use?
PigmentaLab scores 37 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the PigmentaLab MCP server expose?
PigmentaLab exposes 11 tools: pigmenta_pricing, pigmenta_account, pigmenta_create_upload, inspect_image_for_print, remove_background, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,192 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the PigmentaLab MCP server require authentication?
Yes. PigmentaLab asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the PigmentaLab MCP server still maintained?
PigmentaLab is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
