What's New in Figpea 6.0: Agents That Build Designs, Vector Cuts That Stay Put, and a Mobile Experience That Just Works

Figpea runs in your browser and your original files are never changed. Version 6.0 delivers three things you'll feel right away: an assistant that builds designs for you, vector tools that respect geometry, and a phone experience that stops fighting you. One change — how a click selects — is the only surprise after updating.

Agents that build designs — figpea-mcp 2.1.0

You can now have an AI agent build the first draft directly on the canvas.

figpea-mcp lets an assistant drive a live Figpea tab on your machine — create shapes, place instances, batch ops, screenshot and iterate. In 6.0 the bridge was hardened for that loop.

• Ask it to build. "Make three cards with a title and a button" becomes layer.create and component.placeInstance calls that land where you asked — an instance placed at {x, y} is centered under the point on the active page, selected, as one undo step. The view never moves.
• Batches stay whole. A 60-operation batch no longer splits on a stray carriage return or truncates a long payload. Each operation is validated and the whole batch is atomic.
• Images and files are reliable. A data: URI fill no longer creates an empty layer or truncates past ~23 KB, and openFile now respects the explicit type you pass. A project image you already use can be placed again from its content hash without re-uploading.
• One-tap pairing. If you already granted local-network access, opening editor.figpea.com/?agent=1… now auto-connects. Otherwise the dialog names what wants to connect and on which port before any socket opens.

No account, local and secure — paste this and go. Add to your MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), open the pairing URL it prints, and you're paired. Full guide at /ai-agents · package at figpea-mcp on npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figpea": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "figpea-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Local-only (127.0.0.1), per-run token, single active tab. Your file stays on your machine; nothing is uploaded unless you choose.

Vector editing that stays where you put it

If you draw and cut paths, this release makes it trustworthy.

Cut stays put. Dragging a straight cut line across a closed shape now divides it into two siblings that together cover exactly the original area, in the same place. Before, the new piece jumped toward the origin. Both halves now copy the source transform; one undo restores the original.

The same sweep fixed the other geometry annoyances that erode trust:

• Corners resize both axes — the bottom-right handle no longer ignores horizontal drag.
• A shape inside a rotated or scaled group lands where you click — the placement math now composes in the correct order.
• Inspector edits are atomic — changing X, Y, W and H together no longer drops one of them.
• Corner radius is re-editable — change it and it recomputes from the sharp geometry rather than compounding; 0 restores the original byte-identically.

Everything saves with your .fp and round-trips correctly.

Mobile: one finger selects and pans, pinch to zoom

Hand and Select modes are gone. The marquee is gone too.

On any touch device the rule is now:

• One finger — tap to select. Tap a layer to select it.
• One finger — drag to pan. Drag anywhere on the canvas to pan — the canvas follows your finger after 8px. No marquee is drawn and your selection doesn't change.
• Two fingers — pinch to zoom. Pinch to zoom, anchored at the midpoint. Pan while pinching is preserved and your selection stays untouched.
• Quick Unselect — with something selected a small pill appears with a count; tap it or tap empty canvas to clear.

What changed before you update

Clicking selects the outermost thing first. Click selects the parent group; double-click drills one level deeper; Cmd/Ctrl-click jumps to the deepest layer. A plain marquee selects top-level layers only — hold Cmd/Ctrl for a deep marquee, Shift to add. Cmd/Ctrl+A selects all siblings, Shift+A inverts, and right-click offers Select layer for stacked artwork.

Large files pan and zoom smoother — the canvas no longer rebuilds bitmaps every frame.

Figpea 6.0 is live now — open any file at editor.figpea.com and try asking an assistant to build the first cards, cut a shape in half and undo it, or open that file on your phone and select with one finger.
