About

Connects AI clients to Framer projects for reading site structure, editing CMS content, designing pages, and managing code components.

README

An MCP server that connects Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client to your Framer project. Read your site, edit CMS content, design pages with a canvas DSL, manage code components, and preview changes locally -- all from your editor.

Setup

1. Get your Framer API key

  1. Open your project in Framer
  2. Go to Site Settings > General
  3. Scroll to API and create a new key
  4. Copy the project URL from your browser (e.g. https://framer.com/projects/MyProject--abc123)

2. Configure MCP

Add to your .mcp.json (Claude Code) or MCP settings (Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "framer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "framer-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FRAMER_PROJECT_URL": "https://framer.com/projects/YourProject--abc123",
        "FRAMER_API_KEY": "fr_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or install globally:

npm install -g framer-mcp-server

Usage Examples

Browse your site

"What pages does my site have?"
→ Uses framer_mcp_read_page with site-map query

"Show me the homepage structure"
→ Uses framer_mcp_get_page_context + framer_mcp_read_page with node-by-id

Edit CMS content

"Update the title of my AI project to 'AI Sommelier v2'"
→ Uses framer_mcp_get_collection_items to find the item
→ Uses framer_mcp_add_collection_items to update it

Design changes

"Make the hero section full-screen with centered text"
→ Uses framer_mcp_get_page_context for DSL docs
→ Uses framer_mcp_read_page to get current hero node
→ Uses framer_mcp_apply_changes with DSL commands
→ Uses framer_mcp_preview to generate local preview

Preview before pushing

"Preview the homepage"
→ Uses framer_mcp_preview to generate HTML and open in browser

"Publish to staging"
→ Uses framer_mcp_publish to deploy and return the preview URL

How It Works

The server connects to your Framer project via the Framer Server API using a WebSocket connection. It translates MCP tool calls into Framer API operations:

  • CMS tools use collection/item CRUD methods
  • Design tools use the Framer agent DSL (applyAgentChanges, readProjectForAgent) for canvas manipulation
  • Preview reads the full page node tree and converts it to styled HTML
  • Code tools use createCodeFile / setFileContent for React components

All write operations (CMS add/remove, design changes) include undo support by snapshotting previous state.
