Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Pyxel MCP Tools (8)
run
Run a Pyxel script headlessly for a frame budget or until a condition holds, with scheduled input and state, screen, or video capture. screen_image snapshots with inline=true also return the PNG as image content, and a single inline frame may omit its output path.
validate
Check Python syntax and report recognizable Pyxel code patterns.
pyxel_info
Report installed versions, paths, examples, and Pyxel resource URIs.
read_palette
Read the active Pyxel palette and the palette indices used by image banks.
read_image
Read palette-index pixels from a Pyxel image-bank region and optionally render it to PNG; inline=true returns the render as image content and makes render_path optional.
