MCP server wrapping the [Penpot](https://penpot.app) REST API for headless design automation. Provides read, search, and export access to Penpot projects, files, and design objects — without requiring a browser session.

Part of the **Bodai Ecosystem** alongside Mahavishnu, Akosha, Dhara, Session-Buddy, and Crackerjack.

## Why this exists

The official `@penpot/mcp` (TypeScript) requires a live browser plugin to operate — it is the right tool for interactive canvas manipulation. This server targets the complementary use case: background automation, asset export pipelines, and AI-driven design queries that run without a browser.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `list_projects` | List all projects for the authenticated user |
| `get_project_files` | List design files in a project |
| `get_file` | Fetch the full content of a design file |
| `get_object_tree` | Return the design object hierarchy for a file |
| `search_objects` | Search objects by name or type |
| `export_object` | Export a design object as PNG/SVG (base64-encoded) |

## Setup

```bash
uv sync
touch .env             # then fill in credentials (see Configuration below)
```

## Configuration

Environment variables (prefix `PENPOT_`):

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `PENPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN` | API access token (preferred) | — |
| `PENPOT_EMAIL` | Email…
