Before you start

Use this guide when Claude lets you add Pixelixe as a custom connector via remote MCP.

Pixelixe MCP endpoint
https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/mcp/v1

Authentication
Prefer the Pixelixe OAuth flow. Claude's custom connector UX is designed around the user connecting their own account and approving access.

Availability

  • Anthropic documents custom connectors using remote MCP as available in beta on Claude and Claude Desktop for Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.
  • Anthropic also documents that Free users are limited to one custom connector.
  • For Team and Enterprise, an owner or primary owner typically adds the custom connector first, and then each user connects their own account.

Setup steps

  1. If you are on Claude Team or Enterprise, ask an owner or primary owner to add Pixelixe first from the organization connector settings. Individual users connect only after that step is done.
  2. If you are on Free, Pro, or Max, open Settings > Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  3. Enter the Pixelixe MCP URL: https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/mcp/v1.
  4. Complete the Pixelixe sign-in and consent flow when Claude opens it.
  5. Return to Claude and confirm the connector is connected before starting a new conversation.
  6. If Claude lets you manage tool availability after connection, keep only the tools you need for the current workflow enabled.

First test

Use the Pixelixe connector only. First call pixelixe_get_tool_docs for pixelixe_get_document, then help me retrieve one saved document by document_uid and describe the result in plain language.

That verifies discovery, structured docs, and single-document output handling without generating a new variation yet.

Troubleshooting

  • If no custom connector option appears in Claude, the feature may not be enabled yet for your plan, account, or organization.
  • If you are on Team or Enterprise and cannot see Pixelixe in your connector list, the owner setup step may not be finished yet.
  • If the Pixelixe auth window closes before access is approved, restart the connect flow from Claude's connector settings.
  • If Claude is connected but not using the right tools, review the enabled tools in the connector settings and then retry in a fresh conversation.
