You sketch; the agent reads the sketch.\n\nMost MCP drawing tools go **agent → human** (the agent generates a diagram for you to view). This one goes the other way: **human → agent**. Open a canvas, draw your idea, and the resulting image lands directly in the agent's context.\n\n---\n\n## How it works\n\n1. The agent calls `open_canvas` (or you ask it to: *\"open the canvas, I want to sketch this\"*)\n2. A drawing tab opens in your default browser — powered by [Excalidraw](https://excalidraw.com/)\n3. You sketch, paste, or annotate\n4. Click **Send to Claude** — the PNG is returned directly to the agent\n5. The tab stays open; the agent can call the tool again and your drawing is still there to refine\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.10+\n- Claude Code (CLI)\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n**1. Clone and install dependencies**\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/kennycornellius-collab/sketchpad-mcp.git\ncd sketchpad-mcp\npip install -e .\n```\n\n**2. Register with Claude Code**\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add sketchpad --transport stdio --scope user -- python -m sketchpad_mcp\n```\n\nUse the `python` from the environment where you ran `pip install` (e.g. the absolute path to your venv's `python`). Alternatively, the install provides a `sketchpad-mcp` console command you can register instead of `python -m sketchpad_mcp`.\n\n**3. Verify it's registered**\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp list\n```\n\nYou should see `sketchpad` in the list.\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\nOnce registered, the tools are available in any Claude Code session.\n\n**Let the agent decide** — Claude Code will open the canvas on its own when your description is ambiguous or visual.\n\n**Ask explicitly:**\n\n> \"Open the canvas, I want to sketch the layout.\"\n\n> \"Draw me a rough wireframe and send it over.\"\n\nThe canvas tab stays aliv…","publisher":{"name":"Kenny Cornellius","url":null},"homepage":"https://github.com/kennycornellius-collab/sketchpad-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/kennycornellius-collab/sketchpad-mcp","version":"1.0.0","license":null,"protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["canvas","claude","drawing","excalidraw","mcp","model-context-protocol","sketch"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:sketchpad-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi","publisherName":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"dev.version-control","name":"Version Control","confidence":0.745,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.ci-cd","name":"CI/CD & Deploy","confidence":0.688,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["dev"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"sketchpad-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-04T00:27:42.248Z","publishedAt":"2026-06-12T08:12:33.618421Z","latestVersion":"1.0.0"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"sketchpad-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/sketchpad-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T12:22:21.444Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-04T00:27:04.656Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-04T00:27:04.656Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T12:22:21.444Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-04T00:27:42.248Z"}
