Connect your assistant

Installing takes one sign-in. Pick the assistant you already use, connect it with your existing Pixalate account, and the tools your account is entitled to appear alongside everything else you have.

Three steps

1. InstallOne click in Claude or ChatGPT, or a short config block in your editor.
2. Sign inYour existing Pixalate account. No new credentials.
3. Check accessTools appear only for the products your account has.

Pick the assistant you already use

The endpoint is not this website. Your client needs https://mcp.pixalate.com/mcp, including the /mcp at the end. Without it you get this site rather than the connector, which is the most common setup mistake.

Turn on developer mode in settings, add a custom app, and paste the URL.

I cannot find where to add a connector

Custom connectors only appear once developer mode is switched on. Turn it on in settings first, then add the connector and paste the URL.

Add a custom connector in settings and paste the URL. On desktop you can also add the server to your config file through the mcp-remote bridge.

Claude Desktop config file (mcp-remote bridge)
{ "mcpServers": { "pixalate-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.pixalate.com/mcp", "--transport", "http-only"] } } }

I added the connector but Claude Code cannot see it

Claude Code is a separate product and connects separately, with its own command. Adding a connector in Claude on the web or the desktop app does not carry across.

Open Connected Apps in settings, add a custom app, and paste the URL.

Add an MCP tool to one of your agents and paste the URL.

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json. Tools appear in Agent mode.

Config for GitHub Copilot in VS Code
{ "servers": { "pixalate-mcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.pixalate.com/mcp" } } }

I use GitHub Copilot and the tools do not appear

GitHub Copilot only exposes MCP tools in Agent mode. Switch the Copilot chat view to Agent mode and the tools appear. In Ask or Edit mode they will not, and nothing about the configuration is wrong.

In Agent mode and still nothing? I connected but I see no Pixalate tools

Add the server to mcp.json.

{ "servers": { "pixalate-mcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.pixalate.com/mcp" } } }

Add to Cursor

Config for Cursor
{ "mcpServers": { "pixalate-mcp": { "url": "https://mcp.pixalate.com/mcp" } } }

Should I use the install link or edit the config file?

Either. The install link writes the same configuration for you. Edit the file directly if you keep your editor config in version control or want to see exactly what was added.

Three steps

1. Install the connector.

One click in Claude or ChatGPT, or a short config block in your editor.

2. Sign in.

Your existing Pixalate account. No new credentials. If your tooling does not support OAuth, generate an API key from your account instead.

3. Check your access.

Each product has its own entitlement, and tools appear only for the products your account has. If you sign in and see no tools, that is what to check. If they still do not appear, email support@pixalate.com.
