AI Dev Tools

Overview

There are several ways to give your AI coding assistant knowledge about Polotno SDK — from project-level rules to live documentation servers.

Polotno AI Rules

The polotno-ai-rules repository provides AI coding rules and skills for working with Polotno SDK. It includes API references, code examples, best practices, and common pitfalls — ready to use with 40+ AI coding tools.

Claude Code

# 1. Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add polotno-project/polotno-ai-rules

# 2. Install the plugin
claude plugin install polotno-sdk@polotno-sdk

Or from within a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add polotno-project/polotno-ai-rules
/plugin install polotno-sdk@polotno-sdk

Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and others

npx skills add polotno-project/polotno-ai-rules

This auto-detects your editor and installs the appropriate rules file.

Manual Setup

Copy rules/polotno-rules.md from the repo into your project:

Context7

Context7 provides up-to-date Polotno documentation directly inside your AI editor via MCP.

Quick Setup

npx ctx7 setup

Use flags to target a specific editor: --cursor, --claude, --opencode.

Manual MCP Configuration

Add to your editor's MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/config/mcp.json for Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

A free API key from context7.com/dashboard is recommended for higher rate limits.

Crawlchat MCP

Polotno documentation and community forums are also indexed by Crawlchat, providing AI-powered search with source citations.

Web Widget

Find the AI assistant on polotno.com/docs and community.polotno.com. Ask questions like "How do I resize a page?" to get instant answers with links to source docs or forum threads.

MCP Server

Add to your editor's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polotno-documentation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "crawl-chat-mcp",
        "--id=67e312247a822a2303f2b8a7",
        "--name=polotno_documentation"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The server uses stdio transport. Works with Cursor, Cline, and any MCP-compatible editor. Requires Node.js 18+.
