For
Mac designers working with coding agents
Worth noticing
MateUI says its local MCP server writes each agent’s configuration, avoiding manual JSON edits.

Field notes

Connection starts in MateUI’s Agents settings: it runs a local MCP server and says it writes the selected agent’s configuration, avoiding manual JSON edits. Once connected, an agent works in the open file; the page also describes layer selection with ⌘K, comment mentions that apply a fix in place, and a design check for contrast, spacing, and hard-coded colours. The 120-fps figure is presented for a 221k-layer file, not independently substantiated in the extracted material.
