Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

This MCP server is well-structured with proper authentication via API key and appropriately scoped permissions for its image upscaling purpose. The code demonstrates good error handling and input validation using Zod schemas. Minor observations include potential for improved path traversal validation on local file uploads and verbose error messages that could leak implementation details, but these are not significant security concerns for the server's intended use case. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

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).
