# Paper

> Paper is a modern design tool built on HTML & CSS standards. Design on a canvas, export as React code, and connect AI agents that can read and write to your designs via MCP. Unlike legacy tools that draw abstract representations of interfaces, Paper renders actual HTML and CSS — so there's nothing for agents to interpret or guess.

Paper bridges design and code with a bidirectional workflow. What you design is real HTML/CSS, and what you code appears on the canvas. AI agents connect through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to see, create, and edit designs programmatically. The canvas speaks the same language agents are trained on — zero translation loss.

## Docs

- [MCP Server Documentation](https://paper.design/docs/mcp): Connect AI agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex) to Paper via a read/write MCP server
- [Design MCP Overview](https://paper.design/docs/mcp#overview): What a Design MCP is and why Paper's web-standard approach produces better agent results than proprietary renderers
- [Snapshot Local Images](https://paper.design/docs/support/snapshot-local-images): CORS configuration guides for 10+ frameworks (Next.js, Vite, Express, Django, Rails, etc.) to use Paper Snapshot with local dev servers

## Compare

- [Paper vs Figma](https://paper.design/compare/figma): Native HTML/CSS canvas vs vector abstractions — why agent-native architecture beats retrofitted MCP
- [Paper vs Pencil](https://paper.design/compare/pencil): Pro-grade spatial design tool vs IDE-embedded canvas — both render HTML/CSS, different scope and depth
