PixelPanda MCP is an MCP server that exposes 33 image-processing tools, from free local editing to AI background removal and product-photo generation.

About

PixelPanda MCP exposes an image-editing toolkit to an agent, covering local operations like resize, crop, compress, and watermark plus AI background removal, upscaling, and product-photo generation. A developer uses it to prepare thumbnails, product shots, and app assets from Claude or Cursor without opening Figma or Photoshop. Local editing tools run offline and free; AI and pro tools use a PixelPanda API token and credits.

  • 33 image tools across local, AI, and pro tiers
  • Local editing (resize/crop/compress) runs offline and free
  • AI background removal, upscaling, and text removal
  • Pro AI product photos, try-on, and scenes (credits)

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"
    }
  }
}

The API token is optional — all local and free AI tools work without it. You only need a token for paid generation tools.
