Bridges AI clients to Figma Desktop via Plugin API and WebSocket, enabling real-time design manipulation without rate limits.

An MCP server for controlling KiCad EDA software, enabling schematics, PCB design, manufacturing outputs, design checks, and library management through any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Enables an MCP client to connect to CLIP STUDIO PAINT's Companion protocol over local TCP to manage Quick Access items, read and request brush settings, navigate the canvas, and retrieve composite previews without desktop input automation or screenshots.

Lets external agents search a catalogue of programmatic design assets, remix them into a caller's brand palette, and create PayPal orders for licensing them, with the human approving payment and the agent then retrieving download links. Available as a stateless Streamable HTTP endpoint exposing search_assets, get_asset, remix_asset, create_order, and get_order.

Enables AI assistants to control Blender 3D modeling software through a stable, goal-oriented tool API for safer and more reliable 3D scene manipulation.

Enables Codex workflows to control Figma Desktop through a loopback-only Streamable HTTP endpoint shared by short-lived clients, bridging to the Kumoha Figma Bridge plugin over a single local port. Supports tool discovery, status probing, and Figma operations without exposing the service beyond the local machine.

Enables AI assistants to read Lanhu requirements and design handoffs, extract pages, annotations, screenshots, design parameters, and image assets, and share team knowledge through a collaborative message board.

Enables AI agents to interact with CAD software through semantic spatial topology and architectural ontology, supporting drawing, block/layer/entity management, and safe preview-apply transaction workflows for AutoCAD, ZWCAD, GstarCAD, and BricsCAD.

Enables natural language control of KiCad PCB design software through Claude Desktop, automating project creation, design rule checks, component management, export, and cost estimation.

Enables coding agents to read designs, variables, selections, and node screenshots or exports from the currently open Figma file through a local desktop-plugin bridge, without consuming the official Figma MCP quota.

Multi-protocol IPC adapter layer for integrating DCC software (Maya, Houdini, Blender, Unreal, Unity) with MCP, enabling tool registration and remote control across multiple transport protocols.

Enables AI coding assistants to draw UI directly on a Figma Desktop canvas and read existing designs back as structured JSON, tokens, CSS, and screenshots, all over a localhost bridge without external API keys.

Enables creative software agents to operate within bounded, temporary workcells, handling scored objectives through autonomous inspect, execute, capture, and correct loops while producing evidence-backed receipts for human review.

Enables Claude Desktop to draw and edit geometry constructions in the Eidograph desktop app via a local stdio-to-HTTP bridge.

Enables local MCP-capable assistants to connect to Figma Desktop to read documents, pages, and selections, edit native layers and components, and export PNG/SVG across multiple files without Figma API keys.

Enables AI agents to automate drafting end to end — drawing mechanical parts, P&IDs, and architectural plans, then verifying measurements against source requirements, critiquing quality, and delivering DWG/DXF files. Runs live through COM on Windows or headless anywhere via ezdxf, exposed as typed tool packs so clients only load the capabilities they need.

Enables AI agents to generate Korea Government Design System components and page templates with KWCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements built in, then validate rendered pages and block task completion until remaining accessibility violations are corrected.

Exposes surface-bound annotations placed on a Blender model to AI agents, letting them read pending change requests with stable IDs, revisions, positions and visibility, then submit completion summaries by marker ID after editing. This enables batch, review-oriented workflows where the user approves or rejects each agent change in Blender, without requiring object selection, screenshots, or a fixed port bridge.

Provides read-only access to over 100 UX/UI design checklists from Checklist.design, enabling users to search and retrieve design guidance for specific flows and screens. Runs locally without an API key.

Enables an AI assistant to conversationally control Autodesk AutoCAD, drawing, inspecting, and editing plans, and includes a cross-platform DXF engine that runs without AutoCAD on macOS and Linux. It exposes tools for rendering views as images, batching geometry, blocks, and structures, measuring and checking plans, and undoing whole batches.

Enables local image-driven displacement of STL/OBJ meshes, STL/3MF export, and agent-driven texturing workflows without remote services.

Enables designing labels for NIIMBOT thermal printers and previewing exactly what the printhead will burn, since each design is rendered offline with NiimBlue's own code in headless Chrome and returned as a 1-bit PNG with layout warnings. It also returns an open-in-app link so the label can be reviewed and printed from NiimBlue, without the server ever touching a printer.
