In practice

What teams do with Design connectors

Drawn from the connector pages in this category, so every line describes something one of these connectors actually does.

Design

  • Zeplin

    Find every project a teammate can see

    Ask which Zeplin projects and styleguides a specific person has access to before a handover, so nothing is left behind when work moves between designers.

  • Figma

    Read the comment thread before a review

    Ask for every open comment on a file and who left it, then walk into the review already knowing where the disagreements are.

  • Webflow

    See where a component or style is used

    Before changing a button or a color, find out which pages use that component or class so nothing breaks on a page you forgot about.

Engineering

  • Magic Patterns

    Pull generated files straight into the codebase

    Read the files behind an artifact, write changes back, and publish when it is ready to share with the rest of the team.

  • Miro

    Read a prototype before the standup

    Ask what a prototype on the board contains and how its screens connect, then create a new prototype from the agreed flow so the handoff is on the canvas, not in a chat.

  • Whimsical

    Diagram the system before the review

    Hand over the service names and how they talk to each other, and the agent draws the architecture diagram and tidies the layout. Change a dependency later and ask it to redraw the affected part.

Product

  • Lucid

    Summarize a user flow before the review

    Ask for the checkout flow diagram and get the steps, branches and open questions written out, so the review starts with everyone on the same page.

  • Zeplin

    Get a snapshot of active projects

    List every Zeplin project in the organization, read their descriptions and details, and update a project's description when scope changes after a planning session.

  • Figma

    Leave feedback without opening the file

    Post a comment on a specific frame in Figma from Claude while writing the spec, and react to a teammate's comment to show it has been seen.

Marketing

  • Moda

    Turn one campaign design into every size

    Ask for the launch design to be resized for Instagram, LinkedIn, email and the website, and have each version saved back in Moda ready to review.

  • Figma

    Grab a frame for the launch post

    Ask for an image of a named frame in Figma and drop it into release notes or a campaign brief without exporting by hand.

  • Webflow

    Summarize this week's form submissions

    Pull every contact and demo request that came through your Webflow forms and get them grouped by campaign, with the ones that need a reply called out.

Every Design connector, by depth

Tool counts are what the connector exposes today; the split is what those tools do.

Hosted sign-in takes a partnership with each vendor, and more are in progress. Until one lands, Your own app means the connector works today — you register an OAuth app once and connect. API key and App credentials mean an admin pastes them once, with nothing to register.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many Design connectors does Elaichi have?

10+ Design connectors are in the catalog today, and the list grows as connectors are added. Each one arrives as a set of MCP tools an agent can call through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp.

Can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor all use Design connectors?

Yes. Elaichi exposes one organization-wide endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client connects to that same address with OAuth, while the Elaichi Agent reaches the same tools inside the app. Connecting a Design account once makes it reachable from every one of them.

Do Design connectors work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Design connectors are reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call them — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent. There is no per-client setup beyond pointing the client at https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp.

Do Design connectors need me to bring my own OAuth app?

Most do not. 6 of the Design connectors use Elaichi's hosted sign-in, with nothing to register. 3 connect with an API key or app credentials that an admin pastes once, with no app to register. 1 asks you to bring your own OAuth app: you register it once with the vendor and connect. Hosted sign-in for those is in progress, a vendor partnership at a time, and when one lands the only thing that changes is that the registration step goes away. Each connector's page says which it is before you start.

Can I stop an agent from writing to Design tools?

Yes. Tool restrictions apply at role and individual level, and a restricted tool is left out of the model's tool list and cannot be called. Read-only access to a Design connector is a matter of allowing the reads and leaving the writes out.

Whose access does an agent get on a shared Design connection?

The access of the person the agent is acting for, resolved against their current role on every call — not the access of whoever connected the account. A colleague can use a connection without ever seeing its credential.
