Pixabay MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Search and retrieve royalty-free stock images, vectors, illustrations, and videos via AI directly from Pixabay.

10 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect the Pixabay massive media library natively to your AI agent. Access over 4.5 million high-quality, royalty-free stock photos, illustrations, vector graphics, and video clips for commercial use without ever opening a browser.

What you can do

  • Deep Media Search — Query photos, illustrations, and SVG vectors directly. Instruct the AI to filter strictly by "Editors Choice" or "Safe Search".
  • Video Assets — Fetch MP4 video clips natively, returning multiple resolutions and exact durations for editing suites.
  • Parametric Lookups — Find exactly what you need by instructing your agent to filter by orientation (horizontal/vertical), dominant colors, or deep topological categories (backgrounds, architecture, science).
  • Direct Payloads — Given a media ID, the agent resolves high-resolution CDN download URLs instantly.

Find 5 editors choice photos showing coffee.

I retrieved 5 premium Editors Choice images for 'coffee'. Result `ID: 153068` features an aerial shot with 2.4k likes matching your description. Would you like the raw CDN string for the high-resolution backdrop (3000x2000)?

Search for transparent SVG vectors of a rocket ship.

Searching the vector graphics registry… I found `ID: 1475510` (Space Rocket Vector SVG) matching transparent backgrounds closely. The file is lightweight format (Scaleable Vector). Let me know if you want the exact layout attributes and download link.

Give me a vertical mountain video for an Instagram reel background.

Executing video lookup targeted for mobile devices. Found `ID: 329004` (Drone over Alps). It spans exactly 15 seconds, available native dimension mapping 1080x1920 MP4 (`8mb filesize`). Shall I construct a snippet that mounts this locally?

Yes. Instruct the agent to run a video search (`search_videos`). The JSON returned points mapping precisely to the highest resolution native CDN endpoints. Your AI agent can ingest these exact `mp4` URI addresses and format them perfectly into `<video>` tags inside your application mockup.
