# Adobe XD MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude to interact with Adobe XD files, extract design information, and generate React components from your designs.
## Features
- **Document Analysis**: Extract comprehensive information from XD files including artboards, components, and assets
- **React Component Generation**: Convert XD designs to React components with multiple styling options
- **Color Extraction**: Extract color palettes in various formats (CSS, JSON, Tailwind)
- **Multiple Style Systems**: Support for styled-components, Tailwind CSS, and CSS modules
- **TypeScript Support**: Generate type-safe React components
## Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- npm or yarn
- Claude Desktop application
## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/adobe-xd-mcp.git
cd adobe-xd-mcp
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
## Configuration
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration:
### macOS
Edit: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
### Windows
Edit: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
Add the following configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"adobe-xd": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/adobe-xd-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
**Note**: Replace `/absolute/path/to/adobe-xd-mcp` with the actual path to your installation directory.
## Usage
After configuring and restarting Claude Desktop, you can use the following commands:
### Get XD Document Information
Ask Claude to analyze your XD file:
```
"Get information about the XD file at /path/to/your/design.xd"
```
This returns:
- Document name and dimensions
- List of artboards with sizes
- Components and their element counts
### Generate React Components
Convert XD designs to React components:
```
"Generate a React component from the LoginScreen artboard in /path/to/design.xd"
```
Options:
- `artboardName`: Specific artboard to convert (optional)
- `componentName`: Custom component name (optional)
- `outputDir`: Output directory (optional, defaults to ./generated)
- `styleSystem`: Choose from "styled-components", "tailwind", or "css-modules"
- `typescript`: Generate TypeScript components (true/false)
### Extract Colors
Extract color palettes from your designs:
```
"Extract colors from /path/to/design.xd and save as CSS variables"
```
Options:
- `format`: Output format - "css", "json", or "tailwind"
- `outputFile`: Save to file instead of displaying output
## Examples
### Example 1: Generate a TypeScript React component with Tailwind
```
"Generate a React component from the Header artboard in design.xd using TypeScript and Tailwind CSS"
```
### Example 2: Extract colors as Tailwind config
```
"Extract colors from design.xd in Tailwind format and save to colors.js"
```
### Example 3: Get overview of all components
```
"Show me all components in my design system at /designs/system.xd"
```

## Troubleshooting
### Server not appearing in Claude
1. Ensure the path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is absolute
2. Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
3. Check that the build completed successfully
### XD file parsing errors
1. Ensure the XD file path is correct and accessible
2. Verify the XD file is not corrupted
3. Check file permissions
### Component generation issues
1. Verify the artboard name exists in the XD file
2. Ensure the output directory is writable
3. Check for naming conflicts with existing files
