MCP endpoint OAuth and Bearer Platform-specific guides

Start here

Pixelixe exposes a single MCP endpoint, but the setup flow changes a lot from one client to another. These guides are split by platform on purpose, because ChatGPT, Claude, n8n, Make, and Zapier do not expose the same MCP UI, auth options, or rollout level.

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

Authentication: there are 2 supported options. Use OAuth when the platform offers a Pixelixe sign-in flow. Otherwise, use your own Pixelixe API key as a secure Bearer credential inside the connector setup. Never paste the secret inside the prompt itself or inside a tool argument.

Choose your platform

Before opening any connector UI

  1. Keep both auth paths in mind: OAuth is best for human-facing chat clients, while Bearer is often the fastest path in no-code workflow tools.
  2. Find your Pixelixe API key in your Pixelixe account settings in case the platform asks for a stored Bearer credential.
  3. Keep the MCP endpoint URL ready: https://studio.pixelixe.com/api/mcp/v1.
  4. Store the API key as a connector credential or secret, never in prompts, JSON bodies, or copied examples.
  5. Start with a read-only test first, such as reading tool docs or searching documents.

What is the best auth mode for each platform?

  • ChatGPT: prefer OAuth when the workspace exposes the Pixelixe sign-in flow. Use a stored Bearer secret only if your ChatGPT surface explicitly supports it.
  • Claude: prefer OAuth. Claude's custom connector flow is designed around the user connecting their own account.
  • n8n: Bearer is usually the fastest setup. OAuth2 is also possible if you want user-level sign-in.
  • Make: the fastest path is usually the API Key / Access token field. OAuth is an option if your Make flow exposes it.
  • Zapier: use whatever secure auth surface your Zapier product currently exposes for third-party remote MCP servers. Availability varies more here than on the other platforms.

Recommended first test

Once your connector is live, the safest first prompt is:

Use the Pixelixe connector only. First call pixelixe_get_tool_docs for pixelixe_search_documents, then search my saved documents and summarize the results in plain language.

That checks discovery, schema awareness, and human-friendly output without generating a new asset yet.
