How do I use PixelPanda MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@PixelPanda MCP Server Remove the background from this image and upscale it 4x" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

PixelPanda MCP Server

AI image processing tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.

33 tools across three tiers — from free local image editing to AI-powered product photography.

Install

# Using uv (recommended)
uvx pixelpanda-mcp

# Or pip
pip install pixelpanda-mcp

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pixelpanda": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["pixelpanda-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PIXELPANDA_API_TOKEN": "pk_live_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):

{
  "pixelpanda": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["pixelpanda-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "PIXELPANDA_API_TOKEN": "pk_live_your_token_here"
