About ProtoPie
ProtoPie opens an MCP server, putting agents inside the prototyping tool.
Version 10.3.0 ships ProtoPie MCP in beta, following a 10.x line that has been steadily about AI inside Studio. Version 10.0.0 introduced ProtoPie AI in beta, generating triggers, responses, and logic from natural language, alongside inline annotation blocks and a redesigned formula editor with error detection. The 10.1.2 release was consolidation on that base — response reliability, onboarding, AI availability extended to the China region, and Figma element conversion into editable states. The feed itself is noisy, repeating the 10.1.2 release across several rows with differing levels of detail.
