OpenPencil drops after Figma MCP clash

This is less a “new design tool” story and more a power move on ownership: if AI agents are becoming the new interface, local-first and programmable design files become strategic.

• –OpenPencil positions itself as a full-stack workflow, not just a canvas: `.fig` round-trip, CLI, MCP server, and AI-assisted editing.
• –The speed of execution (“three days, one developer,” per the announcement claim) is a signal of what agent-accelerated solo teams can now ship.
• –Figma compatibility plus open licensing lowers switching friction for developers who want automation without vendor lock-in.
• –P2P WebRTC collaboration and no-account usage target privacy-conscious teams and indie builders tired of SaaS dependency.
• –The bigger takeaway: MCP ecosystems are now competitive surface area, not just integration plumbing.
