Penpot MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges language models and Penpot, the open-source design and prototyping platform. It talks to the Penpot API on behalf of an MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor, so the assistant can list projects, open design files, inspect components and layouts, export assets and answer questions about a design in plain language. Documented capabilities include real-time access to design data through the Penpot API, component and layout analysis, programmatic export of assets in several formats, design system documentation and consistency checking, and sharing design context with the model so it can reason about visual components. Beyond the MCP server the package ships developer tooling: a Python library for custom integrations, HTTP endpoints for web application integration, and command line utilities. penpot-tree renders a tree visualisation of a Penpot file and penpot-validate checks a file against the schema, while penpot_mcp.api.penpot_api works as a debugging CLI that can list projects, fetch a project, list files in a project and fetch file details. The server requires Python 3.12 or newer and Penpot account credentials, supplied through a .env file with the API URL, username, password, port and a debug flag. It installs from PyPI as penpot-mcp, through uv or uvx, or from source. The README documents monitoring and testing the running server with the MCP CLI monitor and with the MCP Inspector, and warns that CloudFlare protection on the hosted penpot.app site can block API requests until a browser verification is completed. Intended users are designers wanting automated review, developers building design-to-code workflows and teams tracking design system usage. MIT licensed.
