Pixeltable Developer tools (21, 3 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
pixeltable_describeReturn schema, computed-column, index, and version metadata for a local table or view.
pixeltable_errorspixeltable_get_rowpixeltable_insert_rowswrite actionInsert 1 to 1,000 JSON rows into a local table and run its stored computed columns.
pixeltable_list_catalogList tables, views, and directories in the local Pixeltable catalog.
pixeltable_recomputePreview or run computed-column recovery. Defaults to failed rows only and a dry run.
pixeltable_rowsPreview up to 100 rows without evaluating unstored computed columns unless explicitly requested.
pixeltable_scaffold_appInitialize the project and write one Pixeltable 0.7 application or brief schema example.
pixeltable_schema_checkValidate a TableModel schema file without reading or changing a catalog.
pixeltable_schema_diffRead the migration plan between a TableModel schema file and a local or hosted target.
pixeltable_schema_prunePreview or remove target tables that are absent from the TableModel schema.
pixeltable_schema_updatewrite actionReconcile a TableModel schema against a target. Destructive plans require explicit permission.
pixeltable_service_checkValidate a FastAPIRouter application without changing a catalog or starting a service.
pixeltable_service_diffCompare declared FastAPI services with a local or hosted target without changing either.
pixeltable_service_listList services known locally or for one explicit local/hosted target.
pixeltable_service_prunePreview or remove running services absent from the application file.
pixeltable_service_stopStop one or more named services without removing their configuration.
pixeltable_service_updatewrite actionStart or reconcile declared services against a local or hosted target.

Pixeltable Developer MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.pixeltable/mcp-server-pixeltable-developer -->
A local MCP server for building and operating Pixeltable applications. Through the pxt CLI, an agent scaffolds one app.py, applies its tables to a catalog, inserts and inspects rows, recovers failed computations, and serves HTTP routes. It is a beta developer tool: it runs with your permissions and changes the catalog you point it at.
Quick start
Install uv. The server is on PyPI, and uvx downloads and runs it.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add pixeltable -e PIXELTABLE_MCP_PROJECT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/app -e PIXELTABLE_HOME=/absolute/path/to/.pixeltable -- uvx mcp-server-pixeltable-developerOther clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and so on):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pixeltable": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-pixeltable-developer"],
"env": {
"PIXELTABLE_MCP_PROJECT_ROOT": "/absolute/path/to/app",
"PIXELTABLE_HOME": "/absolute/path/to/.pixeltable"
}
}
}
}The app directory must exist. An empty one is fine: the server can scaffold app.py there. Restart the client after changing its configuration.
Both paths are fixed for the life of the process. Run one server per catalog when it applies schema or service changes.
Other ways to run it
Docker: mount the app directory, and keep the catalog in a named volume so it persists. Do not bind-mount a catalog from a macOS host: Postgres cannot set permissions on that directory, and initdb fails. On macOS, the app path must also be shared with your container engine, or the mount lands inside its VM.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
