Building Pixeltable with LLMs

You can use large language models (LLMs) to assist in building Pixeltable integrations. We provide a set of tools and best practices if you use LLMs during development.

​
Plain text docs

You can access all of our documentation as plain text markdown files by adding .md to the end of any url. For example, you can find the plain text version of this page itself at https://docs.pixeltable.com/overview/building-pixeltable-with-llms.md. This helps AI tools and agents consume our content and allows you to copy and paste the entire contents of a doc into an LLM. This format is preferable to scraping or copying from our HTML and JavaScript-rendered pages because:
  • Plain text contains fewer formatting tokens.
  • Content that isn’t rendered in the default view (for example, it’s hidden in a tab) of a given page is rendered in the plain text version.
  • LLMs can parse and understand markdown hierarchy.
We host two files to assist AI tools and agents:
  1. https://docs.pixeltable.com/llms.txt: This file instructs how to retrieve plain text versions of our pages. It follows the emerging standard for making websites and content more accessible to LLMs.
  2. https://docs.pixeltable.com/llms-full.txt: This file contains more comprehensive instructions and metadata about our documentation structure.
These files help AI tools navigate and understand our documentation more effectively.

Hosted MCP Server

We provide a hosted MCP server that AI applications can connect to directly for searching our documentation. MCP Server URL: 
https://docs.pixeltable.com/mcp
Available Tools:
ToolDescription
SearchPixeltableDocumentationSearch across the Pixeltable documentation to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides. Returns contextual content with titles and direct links.
Use this URL to connect AI applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf to our documentation.

​
Self-Hosted MCP Server

For developers who want more control or need to call the Pixeltable API directly, we provide a self-hosted Pixeltable MCP server. This server provides AI agents tools for calling the Pixeltable API and searching our knowledge base.
