Zeplin Design Specs

Access Zeplin design specifications, style guides, and component documentation from your coding agent.

Claude Code Cursor

Overview

Zeplin transforms designs into detailed specs, style guides, and code snippets. While Zeplin does not yet have an official MCP server, AI agents can interact with Zeplin's REST API to extract design specifications and component documentation.

Agents can retrieve screen designs, inspect spacing and sizing values, access color and text style guides, and reference component annotations. This enables developers to implement designs accurately without manually measuring every element.

The workflow integrates well with existing design systems by providing consistent access to design tokens, asset exports, and platform-specific code snippets. Teams using Zeplin for design handoff can streamline their implementation process significantly.
