Paper is a design tool for teams that ship with agents. The canvas is built on web standards, and its MCP server lets Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agents read and write your Paper files: generate a layout, pull in real content or turn a frame into code. You can paste from Figma or HTML.

Use it in the browser or install Paper Desktop, which also starts the MCP server. The Mac build is for Apple silicon.

The free plan includes unlimited editors and viewers and 100 MCP tool calls a week. Pro is $20 per editor a month, or $16 billed yearly. Designs live in your Paper workspace; agents you connect send what they read to their own model provider.
