Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Pixly every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 35

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

before
before_after_image
Free (no credits): one comparison image from a before and an after photo of the same place — e.g. an empty room and its virtual staging, a daylight shot and its dusk version, a room before and after a restyle. Side by side, stacked, or split by a line; original shape, square, 4:5 or 9:16. Write the labels in the user's language. Returns a finished image at once.
before_after_reel
Before and after video: animate a before→after transformation (e.g. empty room → staged, or a renovation, or a daylight photo → its Day to Night version with videoIntent day_to_night) into a social-ready reveal reel from two photos. Both photos are required. Only have one? Make the other first with a photo tool — virtual_staging (empty room → furnished), remove_furniture (furnished → empty), day_to_night, restyle_room, makeover_exterior and the other edit tools — and pass its result as afterImageUrl (or beforeImageUrl). Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
listing
create_listing
Create a property folder before work on a whole property (a set of listing photos, a walkthrough). Ask the user once which property it is and pass that as title; if they skip, leave title out. Pass the returned listingId to the tools so their results land in it. Costs nothing.
update_listing
Rename one of the user's property folders, only when they ask.
replace
replace_lawn
Turn patchy, brown or bare grass in an exterior listing photo into a healthy green lawn, leaving driveways, paths, beds and the house untouched. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
replace_sky
Replace a grey, overcast or blown-out sky in an exterior listing photo with a natural clear blue sky, matching the light and keeping the building, trees and reflections unchanged. A run takes about 1–2 minutes; poll get_job until it completes. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
upload
create_upload_ticket
Get a presigned upload URL for a LOCAL image file — the one case a URL can't cover. PUT the file to uploadUrl with the same Content-Type, then pass the returned r2Path to a generation tool instead of imageUrl. Ticket expires in 1 hour.
upload_image_from_url
Rarely needed: generation tools take an imageUrl directly. Use this only to import a photo into Pixly ahead of time, e.g. to reuse one URL across several tools without refetching it each time.
blur
blur_faces_plates
Free (no credits): find and blur people's faces and car licence plates in property photos before they're posted — street and exterior shots, open houses. Automatic detection, 1–5 photos per call. Says so when nothing is found.
checkout
get_checkout_link
Use when a tool fails for lack of credits or a plan. Returns a Stripe Checkout URL for the user to pay on — this never charges anything by itself, and you cannot pay for them. With no active plan it is a subscription (plans: starter (Starter: $5.99/week, 20 credits); agent (Agent: $19.99/month, 100 credits); pro_agent (Pro Agent: $49.99/month, 300 credits); team (Team: $149.99/month, 1000 credits)); with a plan it is a one-time credit top-up. After they pay, credits arrive in seconds: check get_credit_balance, then run the tool again.
cinematic
cinematic_motion
Photo to video: turn a single listing photo into a short cinematic real estate video with a professional camera move (zoom, orbit, fly-through, crane up…). No second frame needed. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
credit
get_credit_balance
The user's current Pixly credit balance and plan.
day
day_to_night
Day to dusk (virtual twilight): turn a daytime listing photo into a magazine-style evening scene — lights on, warm glow, dusk sky — with the building and camera angle unchanged. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
declutter
declutter_photo
Remove clutter, mess, and personal items from a listing photo while keeping the room, furniture, and architecture intact. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
draw
draw_floor_plan
Free (no credits): draw a clean 2D floor plan from a layout YOU write — read the user's description, or look at their hand sketch or brochure plan, and send every room as a rectangle in metres (or feet) plus doors and windows. Returns the drawn plan (areas and dimensions on it) at once, saved so the user can fine-tune it in Pixly's floor plan editor. If the layout has problems (overlapping rooms, a door between rooms that don't touch) you get exactly what to fix — fix it and call again. To change a plan, call again with its planId and the whole updated layout; the new version is saved as its own plan and the earlier one is kept.
edit
edit_staged_photo
Change one thing in a photo and keep everything else exactly as it is — the parts the edit doesn't touch are copied from the photo, not redrawn. Works on any photo: a staged room, any Pixly result, or the user's own picture (swap the sofa, recolour a wall, remove a car, change the words on a sign). Optional `mask` limits the change to a marked area. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
enhance
enhance_photo
Real estate photo editing in one step: turn an amateur listing photo into a finished, professional photo (exposure, color, clarity). Returns 3 variants to pick from. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
flythrough
flythrough_video
Flythrough video: one continuous camera move through a home from 2-4 room photos in walking order. Each pair of neighbouring photos becomes a 3-second move that flies from one room into the next, and the moves are stitched into one film with a cinematic speed ramp. Returns one job: poll get_job until the film is ready (a few minutes). Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
furniture
remove_furniture
Remove furniture from a photo: empty a room and rebuild the surfaces behind what was taken out, keeping the architecture and camera angle identical — the blank canvas for restaging. By default it also removes the room's own joinery (fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes, bathroom fixtures); mode 'movable' leaves those alone, and an optional extra takes the floor covering out too, for a full renovation strip-back. Doors always stay. (Declutter is the opposite: it keeps the furniture.) Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
job
get_job
Check a generation job's status and fetch result URLs when it's done. Video jobs take 1-5 minutes — poll this with a few seconds between calls. For several jobs at once (a plan's steps), pass jobIds.
library
list_library
List the user's recent generations, or with type "uploads" their own uploaded source photos, newest first. Uploads are the way in when the photo is a local file: connectors cannot send bytes, so the user adds it at https://pixly.app/app and you pick up the r2Path here.
listings
list_listings
The user's property folders (a listing such as "12 Oak St" holds that property's photos, staged versions, edits, videos and floor plan): id, title, how many photos and videos. Use when the user names a property, or before work for one, so results land in its folder.
makeover
makeover_exterior
Design the garden of an exterior listing photo as one coherent scheme — planting, a terrace or deck, a pool, a pergola, a fire pit, a fence, lighting — in a chosen style, at the right scale and perspective, while the house, its roof, the driveway, the sun direction and the neighbours stay exactly as shot. One run builds the whole scheme. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
photo
photo_to_video
Turn a start photo — and optionally an end photo — into a video. With an end photo the camera travels from the first photo and lands exactly on the second (e.g. two views of the same kitchen → an orbit around the island). Pick a ready-made camera move or write your own prompt; choose the model, length and sound. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
plan
plan_photos
Several listing photos at once: one plan of photo steps (straighten, enhance, sky, lawn, staging, declutter…) with one total and one confirmation, instead of a confirm per photo. The first call runs nothing: it returns each step's cost, the total and a confirmationCode, and the Pixly card shows the plan with one button. After the user says yes in the chat, call again with only confirmationCode: it starts every step whose photo is ready and returns their jobs (poll with get_job jobIds). Steps that work on an earlier step's result start when you call again with the same confirmationCode once that result is completed. Only for photos; videos have their own tools.
plot
plot_sign
Place a photorealistic 3D monument sign with your exact text (price, area, SOLD) onto a photo of an empty plot, matched to perspective and lighting. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
render
render_floor_plan
Turn a picture of any floor plan — a hand sketch, a photo of a brochure page, a blueprint, a screenshot — into a polished real-estate floor plan: a furnished top-down 2D plan with real floors and room names, or a 3D isometric cutaway. The rooms, walls, doors and windows are kept exactly as drawn; nothing is added and written dimensions are left off. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
reset
reset_season
Photograph the same property in another season: take the snow off the ground, the roof and the branches and put the garden in leaf, or move a summer shot to autumn or winter. The house, the driveway, the paths and the camera angle stay exactly as shot. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
restyle
restyle_room
Give one or more surfaces of a room a new finish — repaint the walls, change the floor, reface the kitchen cabinets and worktop, retile the bathroom or refinish the furniture — while the room's layout, fittings, windows and camera angle stay exactly as shot. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
straighten
straighten_photo
Free (no credits): automatically straighten a property photo — leaning walls made vertical (converging verticals from a tilted camera) and a tilted horizon levelled, like a pro photographer's lens correction. Crops the edges slightly. Best before staging or any other edit. Says so when the photo is already straight or has no straight lines to go by.
touch
touch_up_exterior
One-click retouch of an exterior listing photo: a natural sky where it is dull, a healthy lawn where the grass is dead, a clean driveway, and bins, hoses and other clutter removed — each only where needed, with the house unchanged. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
upscale
upscale_hd
Enlarge a photo by up to four times with real detail, to a maximum of 4096 px on the long edge — for print, MLS uploads and large screens. Nothing in the photo changes. Free on any result Pixly made (pass its r2Path from list_library); 1 credit on your own photo. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
view
view_pixly_photo
Look at one of the user's Pixly photos or videos (a video gives its first frame) — returns a small copy of the picture you can see. Use it before writing anything about a Pixly result: a caption, a listing description, what changed. You cannot see Pixly results otherwise. Free; changes nothing. Text you write from it is the user's own (their listing, their post): leave Pixly out of it — no #Pixly, no 'made with Pixly'.
virtual
virtual_staging
AI virtual staging: furnish and style an empty (or badly furnished) room photo in a chosen interior design style — also the tool for "redesign this room" or "show this room in another style". HD, watermark-free results. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.
watermark
watermark_photos
Free (no credits): put the agent's or agency's mark on listing photos — text (name, phone) and/or the logo saved on their Pixly account — in a corner or the middle, up to 10 photos per call. Returns every marked photo at once.

Pixly — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pixly do?
It exposes 35 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: before_after_image, before_after_reel, blur_faces_plates, cinematic_motion, create_listing, create_upload_ticket and 29 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Pixly mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around listing, replace and before. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Pixly working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 216 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Pixly?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Pixly need an API key?
No. Pixly completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 35 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Pixly?
It answers our handshake in 216 ms on average, which is faster than 66% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
