Pencil docs

Last updated 28 October 2026

Pencil lets AI assistants draw. It's a remote MCP server: your assistant sends drawing instructions, Pencil renders them and sends the picture back, so the assistant can see what it made and fix it. Every drawing is saved as an editable SVG and a PNG.

Server address: https://api.vyndigital.com.au/mcp

Connect Pencil to Claude

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Name it Pencil and paste https://api.vyndigital.com.au/mcp as the URL.
3. Click Connect. A Pencil page opens: log in with your Pencil account, and you're connected. No account yet? Sign up free first.

Then just ask, for example: "Use Pencil to design a logo for my bakery."

Connect Pencil to other AI apps

Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers can use Pencil. Apps that support OAuth log in the same way as Claude. Apps that use a key instead: create a key in your dashboard and add Pencil like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pencil": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.vyndigital.com.au/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pnl_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

In Claude Code, the same in one line:

claude mcp add --transport http pencil https://api.vyndigital.com.au/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer pnl_your_key"

Tools

• pencil_draw: start a drawing (or replace one with the same name) from shapes, strokes, text and painted programs for light, glass, water and texture. Uses one drawing from your plan.
• pencil_edit: change a drawing without redrawing it: move, recolour, add or remove parts. Uses one drawing.
• pencil_view: look at a drawing, zoom in, or add a grid. Free.
• pencil_check: catch mistakes an eye would catch, like text running off the edge or parts too small to see. Free.
• pencil_source: read a drawing back as its recipe, so edits are exact. Free.
• pencil_account: your plan and drawings left. Free.

Things to try

• "Use Pencil to design a logo for a coffee shop called Ember & Oak: warm colours, a simple mark and the name in a serif font."
• "Draw a poster for a jazz night at The Blue Room on Friday 14 March, with an illustrated saxophone. Check it for mistakes and fix them."
• "Draw a glass orb on a checkerboard floor with real refraction, then zoom in and improve anything that looks off."

Your drawings

Everything you draw is in your dashboard, ready to download as a PNG or an editable SVG. You own your drawings. You can delete any of them, or your whole account, at any time.

Plans

Your first 10 drawings are free. Pro is $28 USD a month for 100 drawings a day. Looking, checking and reading drawings back are free.

Disconnect

Remove Pencil in your app's connector settings. To cut off every connected app at once, use Log out everywhere in your dashboard, or change your password.
