Sketch adds MCP support
Doesn't seem like Sketch is trying to catch up with @Figma Make, but at least they've added support for MCP. Typical use cases include:
Exporting assets for developer handoff
Reviewing or auditing design systems for inconsistencies
Generating new screens from templates using existing components
Sketch's MCP Tools:
For now, they’ve focused on two tools that should cover most use cases:
`get_selection_as_image` captures an image of the user’s current selection in the frontmost Sketch document and returns it to the AI client for analysis.
`run_code` allows the AI to write and execute SketchAPI code to complete a task you’ve prompted it with.
The `run_code` tool is especially powerful. Since AI models excel at writing code, we let them access the entire SketchAPI — just like a Sketch plugin would. This means the AI can automate and control Sketch through scripts with multiple steps, branching, and even error handling.
