Overview
What Specra does and how to use it through the dashboard, playground, and MCP.
Specra turns reference screenshots into a machine-readable design system that your coding agent can use through MCP.
During the current beta, the product is centered around a simple loop:
- Start from the dashboard with a prompt.
- Land in a new project playground.
- Add reference screenshots directly on the canvas.
- Run analysis and review the generated handoff artifacts.
- Generate grounded screens in the playground.
- Connect your MCP client through the hosted MCP endpoint when you want the same system inside your coding agent.

Current beta shape
- The playground is the primary web-app surface.
- Artifacts are still available, but they are mainly for inspection and debugging.
- MCP is the preferred path for agent-driven generation in real repos.
- Screenshot libraries work best with a focused, visually consistent set of references.
- Light and dark references should be supplied separately when possible.
- Only successful extraction runs bill.
- The current beta pricing is 5 free runs per month, then $1.00 per successful run.
