UI & Design to Code

Open-source UI generation from natural-language prompts

OpenUI is an Apache-2.0 design-to-code tool from W&B that turns natural-language interface prompts into live HTML previews and frontend code. Teams can run it locally or with Docker, connect OpenAI, Groq, LiteLLM-compatible providers, or Ollama, and export generated UI toward React, Svelte, Web Components, and related workflows. It fits rapid UI mockups where developers want editable code instead of screenshots.

Official remote MCP server for design-to-code and write-to-canvas Figma workflows.

Figma MCP Server is Figma’s official remote Model Context Protocol surface for design-to-code agents. It gives supported clients structured design context, variables, components, selected-frame code context, Code Connect mappings, and beta write-to-canvas tools for creating or updating native Figma frames from an MCP client while keeping the workflow tied to Figma files.

AI-native open-source design editor and Figma alternative

OpenPencil is an AI-native, open-source design editor for teams that want a Figma-like canvas with source-visible code and experimental AI design workflows. It is best framed as OpenPencil by the open-pencil project, separate from the same-name ZSeven-W repo, and useful for early UI prototyping, design-to-code exploration, and open-source visual editing pilots.

Read/write MCP bridge between AI coding agents and Figma

Talk to Figma MCP is an MIT-licensed bridge from Grab that connects Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-capable agents to Figma through a local MCP server, WebSocket bridge, and Figma plugin. Unlike read-only context servers, it can inspect selections, create or modify nodes, update text in bulk, and automate design operations, so teams should review permissions before enabling write access.

MCP server that gives coding agents structured Figma context for design-to-code work

Figma Context MCP is an MCP server for giving coding agents structured access to Figma design context during implementation. Instead of copying screenshots or hand-written design specs into prompts, teams can expose layout, component, and context information to agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible coding workflows. It is a strong design-to-code bridge for teams trying to reduce hallucinated UI details and tighten handoff between designers and AI-assisted developers.

Convert any screenshot or mockup into clean frontend code with AI vision.

screenshot-to-code is an open-source tool that converts screenshots, mockups, and Figma designs into clean, functional HTML, Tailwind CSS, React, or Vue code using AI vision models. Powered by GPT-4V, Claude, and Gemini, it supports video-to-code and iterative editing workflows, making it a rapid scaffolding tool for frontend developers who want to skip the pixel-translation step entirely.

Open-source visual editor for React — self-hostable core, optional Puck Cloud

Puck is an open-source visual page builder for React that gives teams a drag-and-drop editor backed by their own components. The MIT-licensed core remains self-hostable and persists plain JSON, while Puck Cloud and Puck AI now add optional hosted and agentic editing layers. With 12.8K+ stars, it is the dev-first visual editor to watch.

Connect Blender to AI through Model Context Protocol

BlenderMCP bridges Blender and AI assistants like Claude through the Model Context Protocol, enabling natural language control over 3D modeling workflows. Artists and developers can create, modify, and manipulate 3D scenes, objects, materials, and animations by describing what they want instead of navigating complex menus. The tool exposes Blender's Python API through MCP, supporting operations from mesh creation to shader editing and physics simulations.

MIT licensed by Toss with three years of active development.

High-performance 2D UI layout library in C

Clay is a high-performance 2D UI layout library written as a single C header file that implements a flexbox-like layout model with microsecond-level performance. It uses static arena-based memory allocation with no malloc or free calls, keeping total memory usage under 4MB for thousands of elements. Clay is renderer-agnostic, outputting sorted rendering primitives that work with any 3D engine, SDL, or can compile to HTML via WebAssembly.
