Drive Krixel from your AI agent

Krixel ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Claude and other agents can turn an image into a print-ready CMYK file at an exact physical size — fully offline, on your machine.

Remote · claude.ai

For the claude.ai connector. Planning and math (size, DPI, settings, product info). Doesn't touch local files.

MCP server URL:

https://krixel.co/api/mcp

Local · Claude Desktop

Does the actual processing — reads your local files and runs Krixel offline. That's the krixel-mcp package below.

Tools (local)

  • prepare_for_print

    Upscale + optional logo removal + export to PDF/PNG/JPG at an exact cm size and DPI.

  • probe_image

    Read an image's pixel size and suggest the largest clean print size.

  • check_setup

    Verify the local pipeline is found and the license is active.

Install

Install Krixel, then add the MCP server:

npm install -g krixel-mcp

Add it to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "krixel": {
      "command": "krixel-mcp",
      "env": { "KRIXEL_LICENSE_KEY": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" }
    }
  }
}

Without a license key, the MCP starts a 7-day free trial on the machine.

Example prompts

“Use Krixel to turn ~/art/market.png into a 400×200 cm banner PDF at 150 DPI, save it to ~/print/market.pdf.”
