Kite
Design tool where you and your AI agent edit the same HTML/CSS file, with a hosted MCP server and Figma paste both ways.
Part of the thumbnails stage.
What it does
Kite is a design canvas built for working alongside AI agents. You and your agent edit one shared HTML/CSS file, so thumbnails, social graphics, landing pages and channel art you design are real code that any agent can read and change. Agents like Claude, Cursor or Codex connect through Kite's hosted MCP server at kite.new/api/mcp. It has components with variants, variable modes for light and dark themes, and copy and paste with Figma in both directions. The free plan covers solo work; Pro is $20 per editor per month, with no AI credits to buy because you bring your own agent.
