What is the 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.
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.
- Version Control — Check the version history of design files to track changes and milestones.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Pixso Client ID and Client Secret
- Start managing your design workflow through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- UI/UX Designers — automate design asset organization and manage project files through natural language.
- Product Managers — track design progress and monitor comments across multiple projects via a unified AI interface.
- Frontend Developers — retrieve design node details and style information directly from your AI-powered development workspace.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Pixso becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Pixso tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Pixso Client ID and Secret?
Log in to the Pixso Enterprise Management console, navigate to [OpenAPI Management] → [Application Details], and you will find your Client ID and Client Secret there.
What is a 'fileKey' in Pixso?
The fileKey is the unique identifier found in the URL of your Pixso design file. It typically appears after /file/ in the browser address bar.
Can I read design node information through the agent?
Yes. Use the list_nodes tool with the file key and optional node IDs to retrieve detailed data about frames, layers, and their properties.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
