How do I connect Webstudio to my AI agent?
Webstudio MCP is Webstudio's official MCP server. Add it to your agent once, then ask it to edit Webstudio projects through agent and command-line tools.
Lets your agent change the pages, styles and content of a project in Webstudio, the visual site builder, working through a local server or its command-line tools.
Webstudio gives each account its own server address. Open the setup guide, copy your address, then add it to Claude Code like any other server.
It runs on your computer, so Claude Code starts it when it needs it.
Webstudio's setup guide covers the sign-in.
