Gemini Designer MCP
AI-powered UI design and code generation for your coding assistant
An MCP server that gives your AI coding assistant 17 tools for UI design, repo intelligence, and frontend code generation.
Install
npx gemini-designer init --local
That's it. The CLI will:
- Detect your MCP clients (Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Claude, Codex, Windsurf, Zed, Antigravity)
- Let you choose which to configure
- Set up Gemini Designer automatically

Usage
Local mode is free and uses your own Gemini API key:
npx gemini-designer init --local
The server also retains a remote mode for compatible self-hosted gateways. The former hosted Gemini Designer service is currently unavailable and is not required for local use.
Auto-Detected Clients
The CLI automatically detects and configures these MCP clients:
| Client | Config Path |
|---|---|
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/settings.json |
| VS Code | ~/.vscode/settings.json |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/mcp.json |
| OpenAI Codex | ~/.codex/config.toml |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
| Zed | ~/.config/zed/settings.json |
| Antigravity | ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json |
