Is @hanoak/pixabay-mcp-server safe?
Unofficial Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Pixabay API — search and fetch royalty-free images and videos. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Pixabay.
If an AI agent using this server were tricked, the damage it could do through this server is limited.
Why: reads files but does not change them.
What it can do
- Reads files
- Calls internet services
Tools it offers your AI (4):
- pixabay_search_images
- pixabay_get_image
- pixabay_search_videos
- pixabay_get_video
How to use it safely
- ✓ Only give it the folders it needs; files it reads can end up in the AI’s context.
- ✓ Content it fetches from the internet can carry prompt-injection instructions.
- ✓ Pin the version (below) so an update can't change what it does without you noticing.
