pyxel-mcp

MCP server for Pyxel, a retro game engine for Python. Enables AI to autonomously run, verify, and iterate on retro game programs.

Features

• run_and_capture — Run a Pyxel script and capture a screenshot for visual verification
• capture_frames — Capture screenshots at multiple frame points for animation verification
• inspect_sprite — Read sprite pixel data from image banks, report symmetry and colors
• inspect_layout — Analyze screen layout, text positioning, and visual balance
• render_audio — Render a Pyxel sound to WAV and analyze notes, rhythm, and key
• pyxel_info — Get Pyxel installation paths (API stubs, examples)

Getting Started

Just ask your AI agent (e.g. Claude Code) to create a Pyxel game. The agent will automatically discover and set up pyxel-mcp from the MCP Registry.

Manual Installation

1. Install the package:

pip install pyxel-mcp

2. Register pyxel-mcp as an MCP server in your AI agent. For Claude Code, add to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyxel": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "pyxel-mcp"
    }
  }
}
