Blip MCP Server: Draw UI Changes for Claude Code Instead of Describing Them
What Blip Solves
The developer built Blip to address a specific communication problem when working with AI coding assistants: the back-and-forth of describing UI changes verbally. Examples from the source include: "Move the button 20px left," "No, the other button," and "The padding between the second and third section." This process often wastes more time than implementing the actual fix.
How It Works
Blip opens your running application with drawing tools overlaid on top. You can:
- Circle a button
- Draw an arrow
- Write text like "add more padding here"
After annotating the screenshot, you hit send. Claude Code receives the annotated image and writes the corresponding code to implement the changes you indicated.
Technical Details
Blip is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built specifically for Claude Code. The entire project was built using Claude Code over a weekend. It's free, open source under the MIT license, and runs entirely locally with no data collection.
