Getting Started with MockFlow WireframePro MCP Server

The MockFlow WireframePro MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server connects your AI tools directly to MockFlow WireframePro, enabling a two-way design workflow between your AI tool and the wireframing canvas.


Instead of manually building wireframes, you can describe a page layout in plain language and have your AI generate it instantly as editable wireframe components. And it works the other way too — you can design a wireframe in WireframePro and ask AI to convert it into production-ready code (React, Vue, Tailwind, and more).

How Does MockFlow MCP Work?

When you ask your AI to create a wireframe, here's what happens behind the scenes:

  1. Start by describing your idea — for example, a SaaS dashboard with a sidebar, summary cards, and a data table.
  2. The AI interprets your request and builds a structured layout using HTML and inline styling.
  3. The MCP server then translates that structure into interactive wireframe elements inside WireframePro — such as navigation bars, buttons, inputs, and content blocks.
  4. Once generated, you can fine-tune the design directly on the canvas or prompt the AI to convert it into production-ready code in your preferred framework.

This gives you a fully editable wireframe — not a static image — that you can continue working with in MockFlow.

What Can You Do with It

The WireframePro MCP Server provides the following tools:


Tools

What it does

render_wireframe

Converts AI-generated HTML into editable wireframes.

render_flowchart

Creates flowcharts and UML diagrams.

render_cloudarchitecture

Generates cloud and network architecture diagrams.

read_wireframe (Desktop only)

Exports wireframe context for AI-based code generation.



Note: The read_wireframe tool is exclusive to the Desktop App MCP and is the key to the design-to-code workflow.


Example Prompts to Try

  1. Create a wireframe for an e-commerce checkout page with a cart summary and payment form."
  2. Wireframe a mobile login screen with email, password, and social login options.
  3. Read the current wireframe and convert it to React with Tailwind CSS.
  4. Create a flowchart for the user onboarding flow.

What are the ways to connect with the MockFlow WireframePro MCP server?

There are two ways to connect with the MockFlow WireframePro server, depending on your workflow and preferences:

  1. Desktop App MCP
  2. CLI Web MCP

Desktop App MCP


The Desktop App MCP is built directly into the MockFlow Desktop App. It supports the full two-way workflow — you can both create wireframes from descriptions AND export your existing wireframes to code using the read_wireframe tool. All changes appear live on your open canvas.


How to set it up:


1First, download and open the MockFlow Desktop App.


2Open a WireframePro project.


3In your AI tool (Claude Code / Cursor), run the command below to connect:


claude mcp add --transport http -s user mockflow-wireframepro http://localhost:21194/mcp


4Then, type the prompt in your AI tool like"Create a wireframe for..."


CLI Web MCP


The CLI Web MCP is an npm package you install globally. You authenticate via your browser (OAuth), and wireframes are saved directly to your MockFlow account. This method does not include the read_wireframe export tool.


How to set it up:


1Start by installing the package globally with


npm install -g @mockflow/wireframepro-mcp


2Then log in via your browser using



mockflow-wireframepro-mcp login


3And finally launch the server with


mockflow-wireframepro-mcp


View on npm →

Who Is This For?

The WireframePro MCP Server is useful across a range of roles:

  1. Product Managers — Convert PRDs into wireframes and share interactive mockups from AI conversations.
  2. Software Engineers — Generate wireframes from API routes and convert them to React or Vue code.
  3. Designers & UX — Iterate wireframes with AI and export designs for pixel-perfect frontend code.
  4. Startups — Rapidly prototype from ideas — go from concept to wireframe in seconds.
  5. Agencies — Create client wireframes from brief descriptions and speed up proposal workflows.
  6. Educators — Teach UI design with AI-generated wireframe examples.
