What is the Pixelletter MCP server?

If you already use Pixelletter, the pixelletter mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Send physical letters and faxes through the PixelLetter interface, test mode included.

What the server does

Local MCP server (stdio) for the PixelLetter HTTPS interface. Hand it a PDF and a destination country and PixelLetter prints, folds, franks and posts the letter, optionally as registered mail. It also sends faxes, cancels orders, reads the account balance and drives the electronic invoice signature.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • send_letter — Sends documents or plain text as a physical letter, optionally as a fax too
  • send_fax — Sends documents or plain text as a fax only
  • get_account_info — Reads the stored customer data and the current credit
  • cancel_order — Cancels a submitted order by its PixelLetter order id
  • sign_invoice — Sends documents to the electronic invoice signature service and optionally mails the signed PDF on
  • get_interface_reference — Offline lookup of action values, dispatch centres, service codes, limits and error codes

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: PIXELLETTER_EMAIL, PIXELLETTER_PASSWORD, PIXELLETTER_DEFAULT_DESTINATION. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Among the payments and commerce options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Pixelletter's toolset — send_letter, send_fax, get_account_info and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bitterdev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Pixelletter to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (send_letter, send_fax, get_account_info, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Pixelletter directly.
