The official Sketch MCP server that allows AI clients to interact with your designs:

Expand and iterate on existing designs — try out new directions, generate alternative flows, and more
Replace placeholders with lifelike data, or even pull from real data sets
Organize and export assets
Generate screens and components as code
…and much more.
