SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of getting the pixel-mcp pixel art plugin working by verifying Aseprite, creating the required configuration, and checking that the server can respond correctly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Aseprite Verification: Detects a valid Aseprite installation and confirms the executable is available.
  • Configuration Setup: Creates the pixel-mcp config file with the correct Aseprite path and sensible defaults.
  • Server Troubleshooting: Checks binary presence, permissions, and health status when the plugin is not responding.
  • Use Case: A user installs pixel-mcp for the first time, but the app cannot find Aseprite; this Skill finds the binary, writes the config, and validates the connection end to end.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to verify your Aseprite installation, create the pixel-mcp configuration, and run a health check so the pixel art plugin is ready to use.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the Aseprite pixel art plugin for the first time?

To set up the Aseprite pixel art plugin, you must locate the executable binary, generate the pixel-mcp configuration file with the correct path, and run a health check to verify the server connection. This configures pixel-mcp across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Why does my Aseprite plugin say it cannot find the executable binary?

Your Aseprite plugin cannot find the executable binary because the configuration file is missing the correct path or the binary lacks execution permissions. Troubleshooting involves verifying binary presence, fixing permissions, and rewriting the pixel-mcp config.

How do I check if my pixel art MCP server is responding correctly?

You can check if your MCP server is responding correctly by running a server health check. This validates the Aseprite plugin connection, confirms the binary is executable, and ensures the server is ready to handle pixel art tasks.

Does pixel-mcp work on Linux, macOS, and Windows?

Yes, pixel-mcp works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The setup process verifies the Aseprite installation, applies the correct binary path in the configuration file, and ensures permissions are set for the specific operating system.

What do I need before configuring the pixel-mcp setup?

Before configuring the pixel-mcp setup, you need an installed Aseprite executable binary. The setup process requires locating this binary to write the user configuration file and ensuring the plugin is executable before running a health check.

How do I fix missing path errors when starting the Aseprite pixel art plugin?

To fix missing path errors when starting the Aseprite pixel art plugin, you must update the configuration file with the correct executable binary location. The setup process detects the installation, writes the path, and validates the connection.
