PixelGlass is a publishing platform that combines a website, newsletters, paid memberships and a member community on a domain the publisher owns. The company describes it as a platform for people and their AI agents, and it positions the product as a replacement for the separate website, email tool, payment processor and community app that independent publishers often stitch together.
Every site includes an MCP server, so an AI agent such as Claude or ChatGPT can write, publish and redesign the publication alongside its owner. According to its footer, the product is made in South Korea by @ronaldlangeveld. Every feature is included on every plan, and the company says it takes 0% of what readers pay.
How does PixelGlass work?
A publisher creates a site, which lives at name.pixelglass.me or on a custom domain. Posts and pages are written in a built-in editor with cards for images, video, callouts and buttons, autosave, a history of 50 versions, scheduling and metadata. Each post can be sent as a newsletter to one of several lists that readers choose from.
Readers become members who sign in with a code sent by email, with no password. Paid tiers are sold through Stripe, Paystack or Dodo Payments, and the money goes to the publisher's own account. For agent work, each site exposes an MCP server at /pixel/mcp with 67 tools. Claude and ChatGPT connect with a sign-in, and agents can only do what the person who connected them is allowed to do.
Key features of PixelGlass
Newsletters support many lists, two email designs, open and click tracking, and links that can be fixed after sending. Memberships include tiers with monthly or yearly prices, optional free trials and a paywall on any post. Circles are private groups of members with posts only they can read, added by hand or synced from another app.
The community layer adds passwordless member accounts, a conversation under every post and badges shown beside member names. Sites come with 9 themes, cookie-free analytics, publishing in 45 languages, and search features such as llms.txt and a Markdown copy of each post. Agents can also build custom blocks, such as charts or calculators, that run in a sandbox inside a post.
