Give your agent tools to create beautiful, codebase-aware UI
Claude Code and Codex are great at writing code, but frontend design is still where coding agents fall short. That’s why we built the AI Designer MCP — giving your agent the tools to create beautiful, codebase-aware UI directly inside the client you already use. No more generic purple gradients, overused lucide icons, and AI-looking layouts. Just clean, polished, relevant UI that actually fits your product.
Hi everyone,
I'm Tyler, the founder of AI Designer!
If you’ve been using Claude Code or Codex to build web apps, mobile apps, or product UI, you’ve probably noticed the same thing I did: they’re solid at coding, but pretty mediocre at design.
I originally built AI Designer as a separate design platform to help with my own UI work, but there were always two big problems:
1. It didn’t have direct context of my existing codebase and design system.
2. I had to constantly bounce between tools — design in one place, export it, then bring it back into my coding workflow
That back-and-forth got annoying fast.
What I really wanted was for Claude Code itself to just be good at UI design — to create designs that actually fit the project I was working on, without forcing me to leave my coding environment.
So I built the AI Designer MCP.
It gives coding agents like Claude Code access to design tools and skills so they can generate beautiful, relevant UI and incorporate it directly into your codebase. I’ve been using it myself to create new pages and revamp existing ones, and it’s been a much better experience than using plain Claude Code alone.
Setup is simple — one terminal command installs the MCP and skill files so your agent can start using it right away. You can learn how to it works and how to try it out here: https://www.aidesigner.ai/docs/mcp
It’s free to try, and since this is a fresh release, I’d genuinely love feedback from anyone who gives it a shot. Really curious to see what people build with it!

Who hunted AI Designer MCP?
AI Designer MCP was hunted by Tyler. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
