Overview Installation

Overview

Pixabay MCP Server is an unofficial Model Context Protocol server that connects to the Pixabay API, letting you search and fetch royalty-free images and videos directly from your AI assistant. The server exposes Pixabay's functionality as tools that Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients can invoke on your behalf.

The server runs locally via the npm package @hanoak/pixabay-mcp-server and communicates over stdio. You'll need to provide a PIXABAY_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate with Pixabay. The latest release is v1.0.0, published under the MIT license, with source code available at hanoak/pixabay-mcp-server on GitHub.

Pixabay MCP Server is listed in the Development category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim the listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
