Pix4Less

Built for AI agents

An image search MCP server for your agent.

Pix4Less is a remote Model Context Protocol server at https://pix4less.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client, sign in, and it can search the catalog, look at previews, and download the image you choose.

Setup

Connect in one step.

Add the server URL to your AI app and sign in with your Pix4Less account when it asks. There is no API key to copy. Each tool calls the same /v1 API, so prices, limits and errors match the JSON API.

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Antigravity each have their own steps, and there is a prompt that lets your agent install the server itself. Both are in the MCP docs. For a walkthrough from setup to first download, read Add image search to Claude and Cursor with MCP. Building a website instead? See Add stock images to a Next.js site.

Scripts, CI and clients that cannot sign in can send an API key from the dashboard as an Authorization: Bearer header instead.

18 tools

What your agent can do.

Search finds existing catalog images and never generates one. Generation is a separate tool your agent calls only when nothing fits.

Live price book

What it costs.

There is no separate MCP fee. Tools draw on the same credits as the API, so the prices below are live from the price book.

Quick search
1 credit / request
Thorough search
3 credits / request
New catalog download
1 credit / image (HD: 3 credits, 4K: 10 credits)

Browsing, details, collections
Free

Searches charge only after a valid search returns at least one result. Search and download are separate charges. Image generation is priced per model and resolution.

Plans, top-ups, and generation pricing

Get started.

  1. Add the server to your AI app with the button, command or config above, or paste the setup prompt from the MCP docs into your agent.
  2. Sign in with your Pix4Less account when the app asks, or create one on the way, and allow the connection.
  3. Ask your agent to find an image, for example a landscape photo of a coffee shop, and to show you the previews.

Images are AI-generated. Review each image and its license for your use case; the server does not guarantee a match for every query.
