Penpot: The open-source design platform for Product teams that need scalable collaboration.

Claude Desktop

The Penpot MCP server integrates the open-source design platform with AI workflows, enabling Claude and other AI assistants to interact with design files, tokens, and components programmatically. Built around open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON, it bridges design and development by making designs machine-readable for AI-driven automation. Teams can leverage this MCP server to query design systems, extract design tokens, and automate design-to-code workflows while maintaining full control over their design infrastructure.
