3D Texel MCP server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| TEXEL_API_KEY | No | Your 3D Texel API key. Optional; without it, search, asset details and prices are available. With a key, downloads, generations, and balance are available. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_assetsA | Search 7,000+ assets: free CC0 handmade PBR materials, HDRIs, decals, 3D models, IES, atlases, landscapes, and AI-generated materials, HDRIs/skyboxes, decals, atlases, heightmaps, animations (UE5/Mixamo), 3D models, alpha brushes. Returns id, title, type, license, price in credits (0 = free), thumbnail and page URL. |
| get_assetB | Full details of one asset: description, tags, license, price, whether it can be downloaded through the API and whether the user already owns it. |
| download_assetA | Get signed download URLs for an asset (valid about 30 minutes). Free CC0 assets: no cost. AI assets: charges their price ONCE (then free forever, added to the user's library) — pass max_credits after the user accepted the price. Requires a connected account. |
| list_generatorsA | All 3D Texel AI generators: which ones run through this API (with parameters and price examples) and which ones are website-only (with their URL). |
| quote_generationA | Exact credit price of a generation before running it (and the user's balance when connected). Always show this price to the user before generating. |
| generate_pbr_materialA | Seamless PBR material from a text prompt: albedo (base color), normal, roughness and height maps. Realistic or stylized. Precise layouts (herringbone, chevron, Versailles parquet, basket weave, hexagon tiles...) are drawn exactly so they tile. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 120 s. |
| generate_hdriA | 360-degree equirectangular HDRI panorama / skybox from a text prompt, true HDR (.hdr) plus an LDR preview image. Realistic or stylized skies, interiors, landscapes. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 150 s. |
| generate_textureA | One AI image from a text prompt (optionally from a reference image): sprites, flipbooks, emissive or UI textures, concept images. No PBR maps: use pbr-material for tileable materials. Asynchronous: returns a generation id; poll get_generation. Spends credits (refunded automatically on failure). Typical time: 60 s. |
| get_generationA | Status of a generation: queued, running (with progress and poll_after_seconds), succeeded (with file URLs and license) or failed/canceled (with refund information). |
| save_generation_to_libraryA | Publishes a succeeded generation (PBR material, HDRI) in the public 3DTexel community library and adds it to the user's library. Free. Only when the user asks. |
| list_generationsC | The user's recent API generations. |
| cancel_generationA | Cancel a running generation; its credits are refunded. |
| get_balanceA | Credit balance, spending limits of this connection and recent credit movements. |
| list_my_libraryC | Assets the user owns (re-download for free). |
| list_credit_packsB | Credit packs and prices (EUR/USD). Credits never expire. |
| create_checkout_linkA | Returns a 3dtexel.com link where THE USER buys a credit pack and pays himself. This tool never pays and never touches payment details. Give the link to the user, then check get_balance. |

TDQS
Scored across 16 tools
The three generate_* tools and the search/get/download_asset trio are clearly distinguished by their descriptions, and quote/get/list/cancel_generation cover distinct phases of a generation. The only mild risk is the near-identical naming of list_generators (available generators) versus list_generations (user's past generations), which an agent could briefly conflate.
Every tool follows a strict verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_, list_, create_, cancel_, search_, download_, generate_, save_), and the resource noun is always explicit. The convention is applied uniformly across the entire 16-tool set.
At 16 tools the set sits at the upper edge of what feels comfortable, but each tool maps to a distinct action across three coherent sub-domains: asset discovery, AI generation, and credit management. Nothing appears redundant or padded.
The surface covers the full lifecycle: search/get/download for assets, quote/generate/poll/cancel/save/list for generations, and balance/packs/checkout for credits. Minor gaps exist around managing the user's library (no remove/delete operation) but core workflows have no dead ends.
