AI Assistant

Let Claude Code or another coding assistant see your board, paint on it, and wire nodes.

Hand your board to an assistant running on the same machine. It sees your canvas, paints with the real brush, wires nodes, exports. You watch it happen in the app.

Uses MCP, the standard these assistants use to talk to apps. Claude Code is set up for you.

Turn it on#

Settings > Integrations > MCP Server. Flip it on. Magerie registers itself with Claude Code. Start a new assistant session and it already knows about Magerie.

Other apps (Cursor, VS Code): press Copy Config in the same panel and paste it into that app's MCP settings. The config holds this machine's access token. Treat it like a password.

What it can do#

Ask For example
Look "What nodes are on my board?"
Paint "Draw a red circle on the Sketch node."
Build "Add a Noise node, blur it, wire it into the canvas."
Tune "Turn the blur radius up to 20."
Script "Write a JavaScript node that draws a spiral."
Play "Jump to 3 seconds and show me that frame."
Import, export "Export the board to my Desktop."

Strokes respect your active layer, selection, and locks. Every stroke lands in undo: Cmd/Ctrl + Z takes it back. It can look at the result afterwards, so "make the beak bigger" works.

Asking well#

  • Name the node. "The Image node called Sketch" beats "the canvas."
  • Ask in steps. "Now add a shadow" beats one giant instruction.
  • Off result? Undo and rephrase.

Good to know#

  • Nothing happens unless you ask, and only while Magerie is running.
  • It follows the document you are looking at.
  • The server listens on this computer only. Not reachable from the internet.
  • Same toggle turns it off.
