MCP Server

Image tools for AI agents

Connect Claude, Cursor or any Model Context Protocol client to PixelPanda. Ask the agent to remove a background, upscale a render or generate product photos, and it calls the tools directly — hosted endpoint with OAuth, or a local install.

Let the Agent Do the Image Work

An AI agent that can write your listing copy should also be able to produce the photo that goes with it. MCP is the standard that makes that possible, and PixelPanda speaks it.

Point any MCP client at the hosted endpoint and the agent gains a toolbox: background removal, upscaling, enhancement, text removal, prompt-based editing, image-to-prompt, product photo and scene generation, avatars, try-on and UGC video. Authentication is OAuth in the browser or a pk_live_ API key, and every call is metered against the same credit balance as the web app.

What the agent can do

What Agents Do With It

The image half of an agentic workflow.

Hosted endpoint

Point a client at pixelpanda.ai/mcp — no local install and no API key pasting.

OAuth or API key

Full OAuth with PKCE, or a pk_live_ bearer token if you prefer.

33 tools

Processing, generation, reverse prompting and free local editing in one server.

Same credits

Agent calls spend the same balance as the web app, with per-call accounting.

Local option

pip install pixelpanda-mcp to run it on your own machine over stdio.

In the official registry

Listed at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io so clients can discover it.

Hosted, OAuth, no install

One command connects a client — or pip install pixelpanda-mcp to run it locally.

How It Works

One command, then just ask.

1

Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http pixelpanda https://pixelpanda.ai/mcp — or pip install pixelpanda-mcp for local stdio.

2

Authorise

Complete the OAuth prompt in the browser, or set PIXELPANDA_API_TOKEN for the local server.

3

Ask for an image task

Tell the agent what you want — remove a background, upscale, generate product photos.

4

Get results back

The agent receives hosted result URLs and reports credits used and remaining.

Who Uses the MCP Server

People whose assistant should finish the job, not describe it.

Claude & Cursor users

Ask the assistant to clean up or generate an image as part of a longer task, with no context switch.

Agent builders

Give a custom agent real image capability through a standard protocol instead of bespoke API glue.

E-commerce operators

Have the agent take a supplier photo, cut it out and generate listing images in one conversation.

Developers

Prototype image pipelines conversationally before committing them to code.

Content teams

Turn a still and a script into a UGC-style video by asking for it.

Anyone with a folder of photos

Point the agent at the files and let it batch process them with the free local tools.

What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Any MCP-compatible client — Claude, Cursor and others — can use the PixelPanda server.

33 tools: background removal, upscaling, enhancement, unblur, text removal, prompt editing, image-to-prompt, product photo and scene generation, avatars, virtual try-on, UGC video, plus free local crop, resize and convert tools.

The hosted endpoint supports full OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, or a pk_live_ bearer token. Connected apps can be revoked instantly from your Profile page.
How much does it cost?
The server is free. Paid tools spend PixelPanda credits at the standard rate; the free local tools cost nothing at all. Credits never expire.
