A straightforward bridge to the Pexels API that surfaces nine search and retrieval tools for stock photos and videos directly inside Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. Search by keyword with filters for orientation, size, color, and locale. Pull curated feeds, popular videos, and featured collections. Fetch individual assets by ID or browse user collections. Every response includes rate limit data so agents can throttle themselves against the free tier's 200 requests per hour. Useful when you're building slide decks, drafting blog posts with real imagery, generating mood boards, or need coding agents to pull royalty-free placeholders instead of broken lorem-pixel links. Requires a free Pexels API key. Runs via npx with stdio transport and works anywhere that speaks MCP.
