Pixelpanda MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Pixelpanda MCP?
Pixelpanda MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package pixelpanda-mcp was installed 114 times last week.
How do I connect Pixelpanda MCP?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls pixelpanda-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Pixelpanda MCP?
The pypi package pixelpanda-mcp was installed 114 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Pixelpanda MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 21 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
