Free and open‑source.
Stop designing.
Describe.
If Claude already knows your codebase, it already knows your brand. Redesign lets it design posts in code, preview them live, then ship to LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, wherever you’re trying to show up.
Running in sixty seconds.
No account. No cloud.
How it works
Install.
One terminal command. Sets up the canvas app and auto-registers the MCP with Claude Code.
Tools not appearing in Claude Code after restart? Run npx @nodewave-io/redesign connect
Build.
Tell Claude what you want. Layers, alignment, validation, then saved.
Requires Node 20+ and Claude Code. Redesign never sees your API key.
The value isn’t what you can do.
It’s how fast and consistentyou can do it.
Every design tool before this starts with a blank canvas. Redesign starts with what you already built.
Use what you already built.
Your site already has the cards, the buttons, the icons, the charts. Redesign pulls those actual components from your codebase and drops them straight into the post. Want to change the color, the spacing, the copy? One prompt.
Your codebase is the style guide.
Point Claude at your repo and it stops guessing. It reads your icons, buttons, colors, fonts, the way your cards round their corners, even the way you write. Every post it makes after that feels like it came from your site, because technically it did.
A library that compounds.
Save any layer or composition you like and it becomes a reusable asset. Next week’s posts can pull from this week’s best. The more you use Redesign, the less you have to describe from scratch.
Plugs straight into Claude.
Redesign is an MCP. If you already use Claude Code in your terminal or VSCode, it hooks in without an API key or a separate subscription. You watch what Claude is building live in the UI, edit the component code yourself if you want, or just let Claude handle it.
Made with Redesign.
The real output from a single Redesign prompt. A four-slide launch carousel, generated by Claude using this site’s own codebase.
FAQ
Things people
ask first.
What is Redesign?
Redesign is a free, open-source local tool that lets Claude design your LinkedIn and Instagram carousels. You describe the post, Claude builds the slides in a canvas editor you control.
Is it really free?
Yes. The tool is MIT licensed and runs entirely on your machine. You pay Anthropic for your own Claude usage, nothing to us.
What do I need to run it?
Node.js 20 or later and Claude Code installed. One terminal command sets up the rest.
Does anything upload to a server?
No. Redesign has no backend we control. Your posts, images, and API key stay on your machine.
How does Claude actually edit the slides?
Through an MCP server that exposes the canvas as structured data. Claude creates layers, aligns them, swaps copy, all with validation before anything saves.
Can I use it for Instagram, not just LinkedIn?
Yes. The canvas supports square and portrait aspect ratios. Exports work for both.
Claude Code doesn’t see the Redesign tools after installing. What now?
First, restart Claude Code, it only reads the MCP config on start. If the tools still don’t appear, run `npx @nodewave-io/redesign connect`. That registers the MCP with Claude Code, boots the local stdio server to verify it responds, and surfaces any concrete error. Still stuck? Ask Claude directly in any session: "try connecting to the redesign MCP and report what you see". It can read its own diagnostics and tell you what’s off.
Who built it?
I’m Tiago. I run Nodewave, a small custom-software studio in Portugal. I’ve always wanted our LinkedIn and Instagram to feel branded, but I’m not a designer and I wasn’t going to spend afternoons in Photoshop or hire an agency to make posts about us. So I wired Claude into a canvas, pointed it at our own codebase, and realized it could design real posts using our actual components. First version took a day. It worked. We open-sourced it so you can do the same with yours.
