Finally, plug your creative findings into your AI tools.
Every save on the platform — websites, sections, images, pages — is one MCP connection away from every AI tool you use.
Connect your creative
knowledge base to the work.
Ask for it the way you'd say it.
Describe what you're looking for and it finds it: "that minimal dark dashboard", "the type poster I uploaded", "the nav I built for Arc".
It searches everything in your workspace: saved, uploaded, or built there.
Video Demo
It sees the reference, not the filename.
Websites, captured sections, uploaded images and PDFs come back as the actual image, delivered inline for the model to analyze. Saved videos come back as their preview frame.
So when you ask for "sections with playful typography", it's matching what a model actually saw in each screenshot, not words you had to write about them.
Video Demo
Your folders are the context.
Ask for something by where it lives. Folders, workspaces and item types all come through, so "the save.design logo in my Platform Assets folder" is an instruction it can follow.
You stop hunting through folders yourself, and you stop pasting assets into chat to explain which one you meant.
Video Demo
Your docs and notes, straight into the build.
Pages come back as markdown. Your own notes come back attached to whatever you wrote them on, and a saved website brings its tech-stack breakdown along too.
Your agent picks up where you left off, working to the conventions you already set instead of inventing new ones.
Video Demo
Ask for a moodboard. Get one.
Describe the direction and it builds the board in your workspace: your own saves and finds from Explore, grouped under titled frames, with notes and labelled arrows saying what to take from each reference.
It only changes what it added. Anything you placed on the board yourself stays exactly as you left it.
Video Demo
Reads your library. Builds your boards.
Nine tools read what you saved and the boards you arranged it on. Ten more let your AI find references in Explore and lay them out on a board — changing only what it added. Nothing you made can be edited, and nothing deletes a saved item.
Read
list_workspacesEvery workspace you can reach, and which ones MCP is allowed to read.
list_foldersThe folders inside those workspaces, for scoping a request to one project.
list_itemsEverything you saved, newest first — websites, links, files, pages, sections, boards.
get_itemA light summary of one item: title, source, folder, your note, type-specific metadata.
read_item_contentThe full thing on demand — markdown, file contents, or the image itself.
search_itemsNatural-language search ranked across your own saves. No global library mixed in.
canvas_listThe boards in a workspace or folder, to find the one you mean.
canvas_getA whole board as an outline: frames, cards, your notes, and the arrows between them.
canvas_get_nodeOne card up close: what it is, the frame it sits in, and the item it points to.
Build
explore_search_elementsSearch the curated Elements — parts of real websites — by describing the look you want.
explore_search_sitesBrowse curated sites by category, industry, font, animation library or framework.
explore_viewLook at one Element or site before it goes on a board.
canvas_createStart a new board in your workspace, with a folder to hold what goes on it.
canvas_add_itemsPlace Explore finds and your own saves on a board. Explore picks are saved to its folder.
canvas_add_noteWrite the brief on the board, or leave a note beside something you made.
canvas_add_frameGroup references under a titled frame — a direction, a theme, type, colour.
canvas_connectDraw a labelled arrow saying what to take from a reference.
canvas_update_nodescanvas_remove_nodesChange or take off what it added. Anything you made is refused.
One URL. Any MCP client.
MCP is an open protocol, so this is not an integration we had to build tool by tool. If your app speaks MCP, it can read your library.
Copy the server URL
One endpoint for your whole account. It works for every workspace you can read.
Add it in your AI tool
Paste it as a custom connector or MCP server. Cursor and VS Code take a one-click link; Claude Code takes a single command.
Sign in with save.design
OAuth, in the tool you're already in. No API keys to generate, rotate, or leak — and you can revoke any connection from settings.
https://save.design/api/mcpExact instructions for each tool live in your account settings once you’re signed in.
Get the endpoint
MCP is one part of Save Design.
Save Design is the workspace behind the endpoint. Turn everything you collect and study into a living creative knowledge base.
Answers
Answers
What is MCP, exactly?+
The Model Context Protocol — an open standard for connecting an AI tool to a data source. You add one server URL to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any other MCP client, authorize it once, and the tool can call that server's tools mid-conversation. save.design runs one for your library.
What can my AI actually see?+
Everything in a workspace it's allowed to read: websites and their tech-stack analyses, captured sections, uploaded files, images and videos, written pages, the boards you arranged them on, and the notes and folders you filed them under. Visual items come back as the real image, so the model can look at them rather than read a filename. A shared workspace is shared here too — if a teammate saved it there, your agent can read it.
What if I never named or tagged the file?+
It still turns up. Images are analyzed the moment you upload them — a model writes the title, the description, and search attributes covering technique, mood, colour and typography — and a PDF's contents are read straight into its index. So Untitled-3.png doesn't stay Untitled-3.png: it gets a real title and is found by what's in the picture. Its folder counts too — anything in "Client — Arc" answers to "Arc".
What about saved videos and screen recordings?+
Recordings come back as their preview frame, so your AI sees what a clip is. Animated sections from the library were analyzed as video when they were added, so they're searchable by their motion. Clips you upload yourself aren't re-watched yet — those answer to their title, your note, and their folder.
Can it change or delete my saves?+
No. It can create boards, save Elements and sites into a board's folder, and change or remove what it added itself — those nodes carry a Claude badge. Anything you made, it can only read, and nothing in the API deletes a saved item.
Does it search the whole save.design curated websites and elements library?+
Searching your saves stays yours: the curated library never gets mixed into those results. Separate Explore tools let your AI search and look at the curated Elements and sites when it builds a board for you.
Which plan includes it?+
The personal MCP endpoint comes with Individual and Team membership. Access is granted per workspace.
How does signing in work?+
Standard OAuth. Your tool sends you to save.design, you approve the connection, and it gets a token — no API keys to generate, copy around, or rotate.
Can I disconnect a tool later?+
Yes. Account settings → Integrations lists every connected app with a revoke button. Revoking kills that tool's access immediately; the others keep working.
