MCP support
Exposes canvas, design, image, layer, audit, and PDF export tools to MCP clients. Agents connect to the active Tuval Studio browser canvas through a local WebSocket bridge.

The Graphic Design MCP, AI Design MCP & PDF Generator MCP for AI Agents
Tuval Studio MCP is the official MCP server for Tuval Studio (tuval.site).
It empowers desktop AI agents — including CodeDL, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Windsurf, Cline, Roo-Code, and OpenCode — with an autonomous, vision-guided design engine for:
- 🎨 Graphic Design MCP & AI Design MCP: Automated vector composition, typography, mesh gradients, and smart layout audits.
- 📄 PDF Generator MCP & Catalog Generator: Multi-page PDF catalog generation, magazine layouts, brochures, and pitch decks.
- 📊 Presentation Generator & Slide Decks: High-resolution multi-page slide creation with synchronized typography and consistent visual branding.
- 📱 Social Media Design: 1-click marketing banners, Instagram stories, YouTube thumbnails, and ads with zero text overflow.
Looking for a design MCP, PDF MCP, catalog MCP, or graphic design MCP? Tuval Studio MCP connects your AI agent directly to an interactive, client-side browser canvas with 100% privacy and real-time visual feedback!
🌟 Core Features
- ⚡ Powered by APIDL Engine (apidlai.com): Breakthrough closed-loop design orchestration developed by apidlai.com. Converges in 2–3 iterative phases (
draft->refine->final) with automated Quality Gate audits, slashing token costs by ~92% and accelerating execution by 10x compared to traditional single-call MCP tools. - 🚀 Zero-Cloud & 100% Private: Operates entirely in your local browser through a high-speed local WebSocket bridge (
ws://127.0.0.1:8765). Zero account or server storage required. - 📚 Multi-Page PDF Catalog Engine: Autonomous creation, management, and export of multi-page magazines, lookbooks, product brochures, and pitch decks with
pdf_export_catalog. - 👁️ Multimodal Vision-in-the-Loop: Every action returns high-res visual snapshots (Base64 PNG) and layer coordinates so AI agents inspect, critique, and perfect their designs visually.
- 🛡️ Zero-Overflow & Boundary Guard: Built-in validation protocol ensuring all typography, buttons, and badges maintain safe margins (min 50px) with no clipping.
- ✨ Full Graphic Suite: Multi-layer vector manipulation, custom Google Fonts (Sora, Inter, Playfair, Cinzel, Syne, etc.), mesh gradients, geometric pattern textures, and 1-click AI background removal.
- 💻 Local File Loading: Load and composite any local photo, asset, or logo from your computer hard drive directly onto the canvas.
⚡ Quick Setup for AI Agents
Add the configuration below to your AI agent's MCP settings file:
1. Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)
{
"mcpServers": {
"tuval-studio": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@ariferol01/tuval-studio-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
2. CodeDL, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Windsurf, Cline & Roo-Code
{
"mcpServers": {

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
