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/libraries/building-on-pixeltable.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. /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. /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.

Pixeltable Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

For developers using code editors that use AI, such as Cursor or Windsurf, or general purpose tools such as Claude Desktop, we provide the Pixeltable Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The MCP server provides AI agents a set of tools for calling the Pixeltable API and searching our knowledge base (documentation, support articles, and so on).

Pixelagent Toolkit

If you’re building agentic software, we provide an SDK for adding Pixeltable functionality to your agent’s capabilities.
