How to share design work with clients and teams · Sketch Blog Discover how to share design work with clients and teams using previews and integrations. Control what you share, set passwords and expiry dates, and bring designs into collaboration tools like Slack…

You share a design for feedback on one thing… and suddenly the conversation is about something else.

Sharing designs works best when you can set clear boundaries. We wrote about how previews — and bringing designs into tools like Slack or Notion — help keep things focused here ↓

And in case you were wondering if you can do the opposite (take something in code and turn it into a design in Sketch)…yeah, of course you can!

For those of you working with the Sketch MCP server, we just launched a skills repo! Our first skill, sketch-implement-design, takes a design in Sketch and turns it into production-ready code with 1:1 visual fidelity. Take a look → github.com/sketch-hq/sk...

Five Ways We’ve Been Using Sketch’s MCP Server · Sketch Blog From dark mode swaps to document organization, discover five practical ways to use Sketch’s MCP server with Claude Code and other AI clients.

When your design document is really just a JSON file on your Mac, and you’ve got a local MCP server to work with, it turns out you can do…a lot of useful things?

Here’s what we’ve been using the Sketch MCP server for ↓

We’ve got plenty more to share with you this year — and we’re already working on what’s next.

Finally, we now support drag-and-drop organization for folders, documents (and even selections that contain both!) in the web app. Combine this with folders you can nest as many levels deep as you need, and you’ve got a lot of flexibility for organizing your work. 🧵↓

We’ve also added a full layer list for inspecting designs in the web app — making it easier to find layers, jump to them, copy links, grab CSS, or export your selection. There’s a handy new contextual menu, too. Also, you can invite the devs in your team to use this for free! 🧵↓

Next up — an all-new Slack integration. If you’ve ever shared a link to a document in your Workspace in Slack, you’ll know that… not much happens. Not anymore! Now you can connect your Workspace to Slack and get a nice preview. 🧵↓

You can protect your previews with passwords and set expiry dates, and choose if people can comment on and inspect your designs. More info over at: skt.ch/nhO96u1 🧵↓

We’re kicking off the year with four new features — starting with previews!

With previews, you can choose the pages and prototypes you want to share with clients, while keeping the rest of your document private. 🧵↓

Already using our MCP server to do fun stuff? We’d love to see it! Share it below ↓

MCP Server Learn how to connect your AI tools with Sketch's MCP Server.

If you want to get started with our MCP server, look no further, we got docs for you: www.sketch.com/docs/mcp-ser...

There you’ll find instructions for setting up our MCP server with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and more.

[5/5] Got an existing website but no design files? Point Claude at the repo and ask it to build out all the relevant styles, and even entire pages, in Sketch for you. Again, you can have Claude check its own work by using our MCP server’s get_selection_as_image tool.

[4/5] So far we’ve been talking about existing projects, but if you’re starting something new and aren’t hot on color theory, you can throw Claude an image and ask it to create a complimentary color palette based on it. Once you’ve got your colors, you can have Claude make them color variables, too.

[3/5] Maybe you’re building out an icon set or a particularly large Library. Either way, you can automate a lot of the organization and keep your documents tidy with little effort. In this case, we can use Claude to order things by name, rename layers, apply colors, and even create Symbols.

[2/5] If you’re mocking up a UI, you can use Claude to take the tedium out of swapping placeholder text with something more realistic. This works well if you’ve got Symbols with text overrides. If you’ve already got the text you need, Claude can use that in your designs, or generate some for you.

[1/5] If you’ve got a set of dark and light Symbols, you can build out your UI using one set, then have Claude build the same screen using the other set. There’s no crazy setup here, just point it to the right Symbols. With our get_selection_as_image tool, you can have Claude check its own work.

Great with an MCP server

We shipped our MCP server back in October last year. Here are five (of many!) things we’ve been using it for 🧵 ↓

(We’re big Claude Code fans here, but you can use any MCP-compatible client)

Vector editor, but it’s possible to copy things like CSS and color values (in various formats/languages) from the editor itself. And if you use the MCP server it’s easy enough to generate code from any design.
