Pixelixe — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server for producing editable marketing graphics and visual variants from saved templates directly inside your AI coding workflow.
claude mcp add --transport http pixelixe-mcp https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/mcp/v1What Pixelixe does
Pixelixe MCP runs as a hosted service reachable at https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/mcp/v1. Because it operates remotely, your machine does not need local graphics libraries or compilation tools. The agent translates prompt instructions into design documents based on saved templates. Unlike flat raster images, these files stay fully editable for team review.
Authentication requires a valid Pixelixe account. The endpoint accepts OAuth flows when supported by the client or a Bearer token with your personal API key. Without one of these auth methods, requests will fail. It suits workflows generating marketing assets, social media adaptations, and product banners.
What it helps with
- produce editable design layouts instead of flat raster graphics
- generate batch visual variations for campaigns from stored templates
- adapt graphics to multiple aspect ratios and platform dimensions
- automate brand-aligned asset production for ecommerce workflows
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a campaign visual using the promo-banner template with updated discount copy
- Generate two layout variants from our saved ecommerce banner document
- Swap the background photo and header text in the product card template
