Domscribe

Give your AI coding agent eyes on your running frontend

Domscribe fundamentally transforms how AI coding agents interact with your frontend, bridging the critical gap where agents traditionally edit files 'blindly' without visual context of the running UI. With Domscribe, you achieve unparalleled precision: from Code to UI, query any source location via MCP to instantly retrieve live DOM structure, component props, and current state, eliminating the need for screenshots or guesswork. Conversely, from UI to Code, simply click any element on your live frontend and describe your desired change in plain English; Domscribe accurately resolves the exact file:line:column, empowering your agent to make direct, informed edits. Featuring build-time stable IDs and broad compatibility across frameworks like React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, and build tools such as Vite, Webpack, and Turbopack, it supports any coding agent. MIT licensed, Domscribe ensures zero production impact, making it an indispensable tool for advanced frontend development.
