Installation

​
Option 1: Drag-and-drop bundle

This is the easiest path for non-technical users. Requirements:
  • Claude Desktop installed
  • a PIXA .mcpb bundle
Steps:
  1. Download the latest PIXA .mcpb.
  2. Open Claude Desktop.
  3. Drag the .mcpb file into Claude Desktop settings or the extension install area.
  4. Restart Claude Desktop if needed.
  5. Open the PIXA tools panel and start using the wallet.

​
Option 2: npm package

This is the developer path. Package:
  • https://www.npmjs.com/package/pixa-wallet-mcp
Requirements:
  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • Claude Desktop installed
  • an Algorand wallet mnemonic for testnet or mainnet use
Install by adding the package to your MCP configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pixa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pixa-wallet-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ALGORAND_MNEMONIC": "your 25-word mnemonic here",
        "NETWORK": "algorand-mainnet",
        "MAX_PER_CALL": "0.10",
        "MAX_PER_DAY": "20.00"
      }
    }
  }
}
For the quickest setup:
  • install Claude Desktop first
  • use the .mcpb bundle if you want a one-click install
  • use the npm package if you want a config-driven setup
  • keep a clear budget cap in place before spending

​
Notes for demos

The published package is best for developers. The .mcpb bundle is best for live demos and non-technical installs. If you are showing PIXA to judges, use whichever path is less likely to break on the machine you are presenting from.
