Describe what you want to sketch and let AI draw it for you
AI agents can create sketches directly via the API or MCP tool. No UI needed.
https://skissify.com/api/manifestAdd Skissify as an MCP tool in your Claude Desktop or agent config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skissify": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skissify-mcp"]
}
}
}POST this JSON to /api/sketches to create a sketch:
{
"title": "My Sketch",
"data": {
"paper": "cream",
"tool": "ballpoint",
"inkColor": "#222",
"amplitude": 0.7,
"waves": 0.8,
"humanness": 0.15,
"width": 640,
"height": 420,
"elements": [
{ "type": "rect", "x": 50, "y": 80, "w": 200, "h": 120 },
{ "type": "text", "x": 100, "y": 145, "text": "Frontend", "fontSize": 20 },
{ "type": "arrow", "x1": 250, "y1": 140, "x2": 370, "y2": 140 },
{ "type": "rect", "x": 370, "y": 80, "w": 200, "h": 120 },
{ "type": "text", "x": 425, "y": 145, "text": "Backend", "fontSize": 20 },
{ "type": "arrow", "x1": 470, "y1": 200, "x2": 470, "y2": 280 },
{ "type": "circle", "cx": 470, "cy": 340, "r": 50 },
{ "type": "text", "x": 450, "y": 345, "text": "DB", "fontSize": 18 }
]
}
}Copy this prompt and give it to Claude, GPT, or any AI agent to create a Skissify sketch:
I want you to create a hand-drawn sketch using Skissify.
First, fetch the schema from https://skissify.com/api/manifest to understand the available element types and properties.
Then construct a JSON sketch with:
- paper: "cream" (or "white", "yellow", "blueprint")
- tool: "ballpoint" (or "pencil", "ink")
- wobble settings: amplitude 0.7, waves 0.8, humanness 0.15
- width/height for the canvas size
- An elements array with typed drawing elements
Finally, POST it to https://skissify.com/api/sketches as:
{ "title": "My Sketch", "data": { ...sketchData } }
You'll get back a { "slug": "..." } -- viewable at https://skissify.com/s/{slug}
