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.

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
