  • 🖼️ Visual Design Canvas - Design interfaces with a familiar drag-and-drop canvas. Resize, align, and arrange with pixel-level control — all without leaving your IDE
  • 📐 Layers Panel - Navigate your design hierarchy with ease
  • ⚛️ Code Export - Generate production-ready Next.js/React components
  • 🔄 Two-Way Sync - Edit in the visual canvas and see it reflected in code. Edit the code and watch the canvas update. Two-way sync that never breaks

}

Step 3: Reload Cursor

After configuring the MCP server, reload Cursor to apply the changes.

  2. Type a design prompt in the chat: "Create a landing page for a fintech startup"
  3. Watch your design appear in the canvas
