Pika MCP server

• Addresshttps://mcp.pika.art/mcpnot in the official registry: answered when asked

No entry in the official MCP registry names this server. It answered on pika.art when the Atlas asked at the address servers are usually mounted on, so it is the vendor's own. Clients and catalogues that list servers from the registry do not show it.

• Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
• Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
