Axure RP

DESIGN
Velocity0.0

Axure now runs an MCP server inside the RP desktop app, not only in the cloud

ux-prototypingmcpai-codingdesign-to-codeaxure-rp
◆Current state
Axure has two product lines: Axure RP, the prototyping desktop app, and Axure Cloud, with whiteboards and documents. The cloud got an alpha MCP server in February. The September RP release adds a second, local one that exposes pages, widgets, interactions and notes from open RP files to Claude Code, VS Code and Cursor, alongside Windows Snap support and faster Mac rendering.
◆Where it's heading
Both products are being wired into AI coding tools as context sources, so prototypes can feed code generation directly. Between those releases, the changelog is maintenance.
◆Prediction
The entries show both MCP servers still labeled alpha or experimental; a move out of alpha, or write access, would be the next signal to watch.

    Curated colors and font sizes, and MCP (alpha)

    ⚡ SPARK

    Axure adds an alpha MCP server letting AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code read whiteboard and document context from Axure Cloud, alongside a curated Tailwind color palette and named font sizes. The clearest sign yet that Axure is wiring its cloud canvas into the AI-coding toolchain.

    Libraries, sections, and navigation updates

    Makes it easier to turn a section into a single reusable library element, expands section links by default, and refreshes sidebar/workspace navigation. Incremental usability work on the cloud canvas and its reuse model.

    Libraries, better marker, and PDF export

    Introduces shareable org-wide Libraries of reusable assets, a more natural pressure-sensitive marker, and flexible PDF export (entire canvas, sections, or selection). Builds out the team-asset and deliverable side of Axure Cloud.
