A Brixies account with access
You need a Brixies account with active membership access.
If you cancelled automatic renewal but your paid access has not expired, you can continue using Brixies until that access ends.
You will also need an active API key to connect your assistant. The next guide explains how to generate one.
Review your plan in Account -> Billing and manage your key in Account -> API key.
A compatible AI assistant
The connection guides cover:
- Claude Desktop
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cursor
Your assistant must support the local MCP configuration described in its connection guide.
Client availability, subscription requirements and AI usage limits are managed by the assistant provider.
Node.js 22 or later
Brixies MCP runs on the computer where your AI assistant starts the local MCP process.
Install Node.js 22 or later on that computer.
Install Node.js on your computer. You do not need to install it on your WordPress hosting server for this connection method.
Check your installation
Open Terminal on macOS or a terminal such as PowerShell on Windows.
Run:
node --versionThe result should show version 22 or later.
Then run:
npx --versionThis should return a version number. The npx version does not need to match the Node.js version.
If either command is not found, install Node.js and reopen your terminal and AI assistant before trying again.
An internet connection
The initial setup needs access to npm to obtain the Brixies MCP package.
During use, the MCP connects to the Brixies API to search the library and retrieve information needed for your requests.
You do not need an npm account or a manual download of index.js. The connection configuration uses npx to obtain and run the package.
A destination site with Bricks
You need a WordPress site with Bricks Builder to use the layouts.
For the copy-link and JSON-in-chat workflows, you paste the content into the Bricks editor yourself. You do not need the Bricks MCP for these workflows.
Additional requirements for direct import
For direct import, your assistant also needs a working connection to the Bricks Builder MCP on the destination site.
Separate access: that connection has its own setup and permissions. Your Brixies API key does not grant access to edit your WordPress site. Before importing, confirm the destination site and page.
Some layouts contain custom code. Our direct-import workflow keeps PHP execution disabled in retained Code elements. CSS, HTML and JavaScript may still need review.
The direct-import guide explains the options for keeping the original CSS or moving it to the section’s global class.
Before you continue
Make sure you have:
- A Brixies account with active access.
- Access to generate your API key.
- A supported AI assistant.
- Node.js 22 or later and a working npx command.
- A WordPress site with Bricks.
For direct import only: a separate, working Bricks MCP connection.
