A Model Context Protocol server for Pixabay image search

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides access to the Pixabay image API. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:

  • Tools for searching images on Pixabay
  • Formatted results with image URLs and metadata
  • Error handling for API requests

Features

Tools

  • search_pixabay_images - Search for images on Pixabay
    • Takes a search query as required parameter
    • Optional parameters for image type, orientation, and results per page
    • Returns formatted list of image results with URLs

Configuration

  • Requires a Pixabay API key set as environment variable PIXABAY_API_KEY
  • Safe search enabled by default
  • Error handling for API issues and invalid parameters

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

  1. Set up your Pixabay API key as an environment variable:
# On Windows set PIXABAY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # On macOS/Linux export PIXABAY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  1. To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "pixabay-mcp": { "command": "/path/to/pixabay-mcp/build/index.js", "env": { "PIXABAY_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
