Skip if: Teams standardizing on Figma-only design systems or offline-only brand tooling.

Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Build is where product-facing visuals get produced; agents that ship landing pages and launch creatives need a design backend in the same loop. Frontend subphase covers UI-adjacent deliverables—heroes, icons, promo tiles—that Canva automates even when you are not a designer.
How it compares
Canva API MCP bridge, not a UI design methodology skill.
