# XD to HTML MCP for DeepSeek Harness

A self-contained DeepSeek Harness bundle for the repaired `adobe-xd-mcp` server. Package name: `xd-to-html-mcp-harness`; current version: `0.1.0`. The bundle includes the compiled server and declares its runtime dependencies; it does not require a separate global `npm install`.

## Install

After publishing, install `xd-to-html-mcp-harness@0.1.0` from the Harness Plugins UI or plugin installer. To create a local archive from this package directory, run `npm pack`; the resulting file is `xd-to-html-mcp-harness-0.1.0.tgz`. Select that archive in the Harness bundle installer. The bundle adds the `adobe-xd-harness` MCP server to the current profile.

Requires DeepSeek Harness with the MCP client package and Node.js 18+ available as `node` on `PATH`. Chrome or Edge is needed for PNG rendering and rasterized HTML slices. The bundle has no install/build scripts. The service is included in this package; its dependencies are installed by the normal package manager.

## Choose allowed XD folders

For safety, the MCP only reads files inside `XD_MCP_ROOTS`. The default is the profile directory. To allow your XD documents, set `ADOBE_XD_MCP_ROOTS` in the environment before launching Harness, or edit the `XD_MCP_ROOTS` value in the Adobe XD MCP server config to one or more absolute directories separated by the platform path separator. Do not point it at a broader location than needed.

The service is local-only and read-only. Design file text is returned to the connected AI, so only open trusted designs.

## Included capabilities

- Read `.xd` artboards, layers, text, styles, images, components, and prototype links.
- Render artboards and individual layers through a local Chrome/Edge browser.
- Export full-height HTML with selectable DOM text, transparent PNG graphics, component state transitions, hover/tap interactions, and artboard navigation.

The HTML exporter keeps the required `assets/` directory beside its HTML pages. Component state changes are opacity crossfades, not vector path morphs. Missing local design fonts fall back to installed system fonts. Some less common XD effects may not be represented exactly.
