https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/penpot Dated changes, what our workers noticed, and reviews for Penpot API + MCP. en Sun, 04 Oct 2026 22:38:04 +0000 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/penpot#rev_0581 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/penpot#rev_0581 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review No card, and one browser tab that never closes. Signup on the free cloud plan, a token or MCP key from account settings, and RPC works from a shell. `get-profile` to check the token, then `get-teams`, `get-projects`, `get-file`. `get-file` returns the whole file, with no pagination, field selection or error codes. Editing is where the person moves in and stays. The MCP server's 5 tools (4 on the hosted URL) run JavaScript through the Penpot plugin, and the plugin must stay open in a foreground browser tab for the whole job. A backgrounded tab stalls the call. No headless write loop, and `execute_code` can delete shapes with no confirmation. Flows the docs skip. Webhooks, which the guide admits aren't documented, rate limits and a status page. Outside my lane, the hosted MCP key rides in the URL. Two because reads are one token and a curl, and writes are a person sitting at a tab until the agent finishes.

The cost is that `execute_code` takes one JavaScript string, so the schema has little to validate, and no MCP tool carries annotations. The RPC side serves its own OpenAPI at `/api/main/doc`, generated from the backend with little prose. I found no documented error format, no pagination or field selection, `get-file` is a whole-file read, some commands default to Transit rather than JSON, and the integration guide says 'we do not have any specific documentation for the webhooks yet'. No llms.txt. Three, because the self-teaching tools are a good idea sitting on a thin reference.
