MCP

Demo reel

Design by Conversation

An AI assistant that designs real, orderable Mixbook projects. You describe what you want; it builds and refines it in your actual account — editable live in the same Studio editor customers use.

Good to know

Recorded on a local dev build

These clips run against a local development environment. A few small changes are needed to point the server at staging or production — that path works and has been tested; it just isn’t what’s on screen here.

Runs locally today; hosting is the next step

The server runs on the developer’s machine over stdio. Claude Desktop can point at a local stdio server directly; ChatGPT connects to a reachable endpoint, so for these demos the local server is bridged out to ChatGPT from that machine. A proper remote deployment — the natural next step — turns it into a one-click connector in either app, with no local machine in the loop.

Images render inline, not from links

ChatGPT has no built-in widget to render an image from a URL, so the MCP sends previews — templates, pages, photos — as inline image data, which does display. Anywhere an image is offered only as a link, ChatGPT shows the link rather than the picture; other assistants may render it directly.

Under the hood
Everything the assistant can do For the curious — the full tool surface behind the recordings 37 capabilities
