Penpot MCP is a tool that lets AI assistants like Claude talk to Penpot, an open-source design platform. It helps designers and developers automate tasks like analyzing designs, finding components, and exporting assets. You can ask questions about your designs in plain English and get AI-powered insights.
Penpot MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges AI language models with Penpot, the open-source design and prototyping platform. It enables AI assistants like Claude (in Claude Desktop and Cursor IDE) to understand, analyze, and interact with design files programmatically. Key features include real-time design access via Penpot's API, component analysis, export automation, design validation, and natural language queries. Use cases include design review automation, component documentation, design-to-code workflows, and automated testing. The tool is built with Python and provides CLI utilities, a Python SDK, and REST API for custom integrations. It supports MCP-compatible AI assistants and is extensible via plugins.
