Real-ESRGAN MCP: upscale images 2x to 8x with no API key

Real-ESRGAN upscales a photo or illustration 2x to 8x and restores detail, running on FlyMy.AI GPUs and billed by the second of run time. Run it from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client through one FlyMy.AI MCP, or call its API.

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent. It reads the guide and helps you connect.

Read https://flymy.ai/skill.md and https://flymy.ai/mcp/models/real-esrgan.md. Help me connect the FlyMy.AI MCP to this assistant, then run Real-ESRGAN (flymyai/real-esrgan) for this task: Upscale the image I attach 4x with Real-ESRGAN and send me the link.

What Real-ESRGAN does

Real-ESRGAN is the widely used open restoration model from Tencent ARC: it enlarges an image while cleaning compression artifacts and noise. Send image and a scale_factor from 2 to 8 and get the larger file back.

Real-ESRGAN inputs

Every input of flymyai/real-esrgan as its live schema lists them. Returns output (file).

InputType, values and default
# image
file required Allowed: image file, as a URL or upload
# scale_factor
number optional Allowed: 2.0 to 8.0 Default: 2.0

Call Real-ESRGAN from code

The same model, from an agent or from your own code. Keys stay in your FlyMy.AI account.

From an agent, through the MCP

The agent calls get_model_schema, then run_model with:

{
  "endpoint_id": "flymyai/real-esrgan",
  "input": {
    "image": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"
  }
}

Questions about Real-ESRGAN

Do I need a Tencent ARC API key for Real-ESRGAN?

No. Real-ESRGAN runs on FlyMy.AI GPUs, so you need no Tencent ARC key or plan: sign in to FlyMy.AI once and each run is billed to your FlyMy.AI balance.

How much does Real-ESRGAN cost?

$5.00 per hour of run time, billed per second. There is no subscription or minimum; the price comes from FlyMy.AI billing and was checked on 2026-11-09.

How do I use Real-ESRGAN in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?

Add the FlyMy.AI MCP with one command and sign in, then ask in plain words, for example: "Upscale the image I attach 4x with Real-ESRGAN and send me the link." Your agent reads the inputs with get_model_schema and runs flymyai/real-esrgan with run_model.

What does Real-ESRGAN need as input?

Real-ESRGAN requires image; it also takes 1 optional input, each listed on this page with its allowed values and default.

Can I call Real-ESRGAN from my own code?

Yes. Send form fields to https://api.flymy.ai/api/v1/flymyai/real-esrgan/predict/async/ with your FlyMy.AI API key in the X-API-KEY header.
