Link the MCP plugin to plugins/libs/plugin-types instead of the
published 1.5.0 package, which lacks PenpotMgmt. The repo types
declare the penpotMgmt global, so the inline import in index.d.ts
goes away and the plugin checks against the API it runs with.
Type Context.management as PenpotMgmt without on/off, so new
management methods need no extra listing.
Mark the background plugin mock in load-plugin.spec.ts as
NonNullable: createPlugin can return undefined, and the build
type-check failed on it.
Penpot only exposes penpotMgmt to plugins running with global
scope. Without it, the MCP plugin failed on load when registering
its workspacechange listener.
When penpotMgmt is missing, the plugin now builds the workspace
metadata from the open file and skips the listener. execute_code
receives penpotMgmt as null and waits for layout updates as before.
The tool description and instructions tell agents that only the
open file is available when penpotMgmt is null.
Add penpotMgmt.createProject({name, teamId?}) and
penpotMgmt.createFile({projectId, name}). Both require content:write,
trim the name and require 1 to 250 characters, and return the same
metadata as listProjects and listFiles without changing the current
view. When the new project or file belongs to the current team, the
dashboard state is updated so it shows up right away.
listProjects, listFiles and the creation methods share the summary
builders, so fileCount is now 0 instead of missing for new projects.
Update the plugin types, the MCP API docs and the MCP instructions.
Discovery:
- Add listProjects and project-scoped listFiles with content:read checks.
- Return metadata from existing RPCs in dashboard and workspace contexts.
- Reject invalid IDs and preserve backend access errors.
Documentation:
- Keep usage in API type comments and include regenerated MCP API docs.
- Remove README implementation details and consolidate the changelog.
- Add usage information to the MCP server's initial instructions
Validation:
- Pass 8 frontend tests, 81 runtime tests and the runtime build.
- Verify both APIs through live MCP calls in dashboard and workspace.
- Pass type, lint, formatting and diff checks.

* MCP server: Update instruction manual to point to method instead of sleep
* MCP plugin: Call waitForLayoutUpdate prior to every code execution
* Composable test suite: Use waitForLayoutUpdate instead of 200ms delay in tests
Change isVariant() return type from boolean to 'this is LibraryVariantComponent',
enabling TypeScript users to directly access variants, variantProps, and
variantError after a type-narrowing check. Update MCP instructions with
improved variant navigation guidance.
Closes#9185
Co-authored-by: Claude (Anthropic) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update instructions and API documentation to account for
* updated token property names; resolves#8512
* improved variant container creation; resolves#8564
* ✨ Reduce instructions transferred at MCP connection to a minimum
Force on-demand loading of the 'Penpot High-Level Overview',
which was previously transferred in the MCP server's instructions.
This greatly reduces the number of tokens for users who will
not actually interact with Penpot, allowing the MCP server to
remain enabled for such users without wasting too many tokens.
Resolves#8647
* 📎 Update Serena project
* 📎 Fix spelling errors
* 🚧 Temporary workaround for sizing options not working
Add instructions explaining that FlexLayout sizing options do not work.
Relates to https://github.com/penpot/penpot-mcp/issues/39
* 🚧 Temporary workaround for Token resolvedValue not working
Instruct LLM to not use this property.
To be reverted once #8341 is fixed.
* ✨ Improve description of token values
* ✨ Make clear that ExecuteCodeTool serialises automatically
LLMs sometimes decide to apply serialisation themselves, which is unnecessary,
and which this seeks to prevent.
* 🚧 Temporary workaround for fills/strokes being read-only
Add instructions to make the limintations.
Once #8357 is resolved, this can be reverted.
* ♻️ Move high-level instructions to the end
In this way, they can reasonably reference the more low-level concepts
* 📚 Add instructions on cloning and the branch to use
* 📚 Revise instructions on prerequisites
* Do not state that pnpm must be available after Node.js installation
(it is installed by corepack)
* Do not state that caddy is required; it is required only when
rebuilding the API documentation for the server, which is not
a task relevant to regular users.
* Do not strongly suggest that MCP users should be using the devenv.
* Windows: Add pointer to use Git Bash
* 📚 Remove unnecessary details on what the boostrap script does
* 📚 Update information on repository structure
* 📚 Add section on 'Development' to README
