About Pixso MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your design workflow with Pixso, the leading professional design tool for team collaboration. By connecting Pixso to your agent, you transform complex design file navigation and project coordination into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your files, retrieve design nodes (frames and layers), audit style libraries, and even browse version history without you ever needing to navigate the complex design workspace. Whether you are managing a large-scale design system or a specific UI project, your agent acts as a real-time design assistant, keeping your assets organized and your team aligned.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Pixso tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- File Orchestration — List all accessible design files and projects across your Pixso workspace.
- Node Management — Retrieve granular design nodes and layers to understand your UI structure instantly.
- Team Coordination — Browse teams and projects to manage collaboration and assignments effectively.
- Collaboration Monitoring — List file comments and organization members to stay informed about team updates.
- Style Auditing — List defined design styles, including colors and typography, across your files.
