About Pixso MCP
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol. It provides LLMs with a standardized, secure, and extensible framework to interact with external tools and data sources.
In Pixso, MCP currently has two product forms:
- Local MCP: an MCP service running inside the Pixso desktop client (local service)
- Remote MCP: an MCP service running on Pixso cloud servers (remote service)
Together, they can safely bring design nodes, layout, and assets into AI coding workflows, helping teams move from design to code more efficiently.
