Grid Proof MCP Server
GridProof your UI - automated spacing & grid QA in the agent loop. GridProof is an MCP server that renders your running frontend with Playwright, measures the computed geometry of every element, checks it against a spacing/token rule set, and hands back a structured fix report - so a coding agent can close the loop itself: generate, audit, fix, re-audit.
People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
