Tools
Details
From the project READMEPixly: Minecraft server hosting plugin for Claude, ChatGPT and Codex
The Pixly plugin lets Claude, ChatGPT and Codex create and manage Minecraft servers on Pixly through the Pixly MCP server at https://pixly.gg/api/mcp. Ask in plain language and the assistant runs the action on your own Pixly account.
What you can ask
- "Which of my Pixly Minecraft servers are running right now?"
- "Create a Paper survival server called Weekend SMP for players in Germany."
- "Show me the latest console output from Creative Build."
- "Back up Creative Build before I change its mods."
The tools cover creating, starting, stopping and restarting servers; settings, mods, plugins and modpacks; console logs; backups, restores and world uploads; custom domain checks; Pixly prices compared with other hosts; and your balance and monthly spending. A server sleeps when nobody is playing, and a player joining starts it again.
Install
Claude Code
/plugin install pixly --marketplace Wroud/pixly-plugins
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add wroud/pixly-plugins
Then enable pixly@pixly in the plugin list.
claude.ai or another MCP client with OAuth support: add https://pixly.gg/api/mcp as a remote MCP server (streamable HTTP).
Sign-in and permissions
The first time a tool needs your account, you sign in to Pixly in the browser and approve access. Every action then runs as you, on your servers only. Before deleting, resetting or restoring, the assistant asks you to name the exact server or backup. The tools cannot add funds or change plans; for those, the assistant links you to your Pixly dashboard.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
