FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Pexels
Can Claude pull stock photos and video from Pexels?
Yes. Once a Pexels connection is shared with a type.com Space, the agent can pull curated photos, browse collections, and fetch specific photo or video details from a thread.
How do I authenticate Pexels in type.com?
Pexels uses an API key. An admin adds it once when creating the connection, then controls which Spaces can use it.
Can type.com refresh a campaign's photo picks on a schedule?
Yes. An automation can pull fresh curated photos on a recurring basis and post a shortlist to a channel for review.
Is this the same as a Pexels MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
