Draw2agent MCP Server
Draw on your website. Your AI agent sees it. draw2agent is an MCP server that lets you draw annotations directly on top of your local dev page. When you submit, your IDE agent receives a screenshot, structured DOM data, and annotation context to make precise code edits. Its 4 documented tools cover launch, canvas.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package draw2agent - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.zero-abd is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
