About Pixabay MCP Server
Connect the Pixabay massive media library natively to your AI agent. Access over 4.5 million high-quality, royalty-free stock photos, illustrations, vector graphics, and video clips for commercial use without ever opening a browser.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Pixabay tool infrastructure. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Deep Media Search — Query photos, illustrations, and SVG vectors directly. Instruct the AI to filter strictly by "Editors Choice" or "Safe Search".
- Video Assets — Fetch MP4 video clips natively, returning multiple resolutions and exact durations for editing suites.
- Parametric Lookups — Find exactly what you need by instructing your agent to filter by orientation (horizontal/vertical), dominant colors, or deep topological categories (backgrounds, architecture, science).
- Direct Payloads — Given a media ID, the agent resolves high-resolution CDN download URLs instantly.
