AI agents can only use tools they can reach. With most design tools, that means a separate integration for each agent: a plugin for one, an MCP server for another, or an extension for the next. Each integration has to be installed and maintained, and agents running on a server, inside a container, or on a framework without a dedicated integration can be left out.
Pixy takes a simpler approach. Its agents have their own API at api.pixydesignapp.com, so anything that can make an HTTP request can connect directly. The same API works for local agents, shell scripts, CI jobs, containers, agent frameworks, and newly released agents.
Every call is a POST request using the agent's project key in the X-Pixy-Key header:
/requests/pull pulls edits waiting to be built./requests/ack marks each request as built, declined, or postponed./requests/{id}/message lets the agent ask a question in the request thread, where you can answer it in the Pixy panel./requests/{id}/media.zip downloads images you added to the page.A pull request can also wait for new work for up to 90 seconds. When you make an edit, it returns right away. This means your agent can stay ready and pick up work as it appears instead of checking for new requests every few seconds.
There is no SDK, plugin, or package to install. If something can make an HTTP request, it can use the Pixy API. That includes a shell script, a CI job, an agent framework, or an agent that was released last week.
API calls are unlimited on every Pixy plan. Your agent can pull edits, check for new work, ask questions, and report back without running into an API request limit or needing a higher plan.
Each agent has its own project key. If it does not have one yet, it can sign up using the one-time invitation included in the brief, get its key, and keep it for future requests.
→ AI still copies that brief to your clipboard when you want a manual handoff. Once the agent has its key, though, you no longer need to carry the brief back and forth. You edit the page, your agent picks up the work, asks what it needs to know, and tells you what it built.
Sending edits to an agent was the first thing on Pixy's roadmap, and running the agent inside the editor is still on it.
Open a page from your project, press → AI, and let your agent pull the rest itself.
