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

run in your terminal

claude mcp add pixelpanda-mcp -- uvx pixelpanda-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PIXELPANDA_API_TOKEN (PixelPanda API token for paid tools (optional — free tools work without it)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

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 148 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 with the file path 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 148 times in the last week. Week over week that is -66%. 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.
