Balsamiq Wireframes MCP Server 🎨📐

An official Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for seamlessly integrating Balsamiq Wireframes with Google Antigravity, Claude Code, and AI Agent ecosystems.

This server enables AI assistants to autonomously construct, layout, and export interactive UI mockups directly into native .bmpr project files (fully compliant with Balsamiq Wireframes 4.x) and standard Wireframe JSON format.

✨ Features

• 🛠 Autonomous UI Generation: AI agents can generate UI mockups based on natural language prompts (e.g. "Create a barber appointment booking dashboard with search filters, table, and action buttons").

• 📦 Native .bmpr Support: Direct SQLite serialization with 100% schema compliance for Balsamiq Wireframes 4.x (open files instantly with double-click).

• 🧩 Extensive Control Library: Supports all core Balsamiq widgets (BrowserWindow, Button, TextInput, TextArea, DataGrid, SearchBox, ComboBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, Label, Title, Subtitle, ButtonBar, Icon, Image, Paragraph).

• ⚡ Lightweight & Fast: Built on top of Python FastMCP.
