Check the source before citing. # Platforms (5) Figma is the deepest AI surface in the study, a remote MCP server that gets sharper the more Code Connect mappings you feed it. Storybook turned the component workshop into an agent-readable API. Supernova, Knapsack and zeroheight all run remote MCP servers over the design-system content they host, and none of them can point to much published adoption yet. ## Figma (Dev Mode MCP server, Code Connect, Figma Make) 8 capabilities · 19 of 19 design systems carry an integration record Figma is the most complete AI surface among design-system platforms in July 2026, and it works in both directions.
