Perplexity

Query design layouts directly inside Claude Desktop

The `list_boards` tool retrieves active design boards directly into your chat interface. You can immediately pass these board identifiers to `get_board` to extract the full layout hierarchy without opening a browser tab. This lets your AI client analyze visual structures, coordinate spacings, and verify component placements. Claude Desktop processes the design hierarchy locally, making it easy to map design specs to your frontend code.

Audit design layers and coordinate assets

The `list_layers` tool exposes the exact document tree of your design files to your agent. When you need to extract specific visual assets, `get_file` retrieves the file metadata and paths. Running this MCP Server locally via Claude Desktop means your agent extracts exact layer dimensions and export paths. You get precise asset data for your build pipeline without manual exports.

Track team feedback and project workspaces

The `get_comments` tool pulls live feedback threads directly into your workspace. Combined with `list_team_projects` and `list_project_files`, your agent tracks exactly what changes designers are demanding through this MCP link. You no longer guess which feedback applies to which file. Claude Desktop displays the active discussions and project files side-by-side, keeping your development aligned with the design team's latest decisions.
