Before you connect
Questions about Pixabay.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use Pixabay MCP for commercial projects?
Yes, the images and videos returned are royalty-free and allowed for commercial use. You can use them in your blogs, social media, and web designs.
Does Pixabay MCP find specific colors?
Yes, you can tell your agent to look for images based on dominant colors like 'red' or 'grayscale'. This is perfect for matching a specific brand palette.
Can I get videos through Pixabay MCP?
You can search for stock videos and get multiple resolutions along with direct download URLs. It's a great way to find b-roll for your video projects.
How do I get high-quality results?
You can instruct your agent to use the 'Editor's Choice' filter. This ensures your agent only shows you the best hand-picked media from the library.
Does Pixabay MCP support vector graphics?
Yes, it can find scalable SVG art, icons, and infographics specifically. This is ideal for designers who need assets that won't lose quality when resized.
Can I filter for safe content?
Yes, the Connector includes a safe search capability to filter out inappropriate content automatically, making it safe for corporate and general audience use.
How many images can I search at once?
You can request up to 200 results per page through your agent, allowing you to browse a large variety of options in a single request.
Can my AI download and directly embed high-resolution MP4 video URLs into my code?
Yes. Instruct the agent to run a video search (search_videos). The JSON returned points mapping precisely to the highest resolution native CDN endpoints. Your AI agent can ingest these exact mp4 URI addresses and format them perfectly into `` tags inside your application mockup.
How can I easily discover only landscape photos related to 'urban night' containing mainly orange?
The integration exposes distinct analytical endpoints natively. You simply prompt: 'Search Pixabay for urban night landscape containing orange'. The agent internally invokes the pixel-color mapping API (search_by_color) bounded by the (horizontal) orientation constraint to drastically minimize latency and fetch the literal perfect image.
Are there licensing restrictions when generating code using these results?
No. All media assets managed by the Pixabay integration carry the pure royalty-free license. They are completely safe for commercial use, client mockups, and public deployment without explicit attribution, meaning you don't face unexpected DMCA copyright claims when your agent auto-selects dummy data.
