Sympli API
No public REST API. The only programmatic surface is outbound webhooks, gated to the Enterprise plan and provisioned by emailing sales. Everything else is publisher plugins (Sketch, Figma, XD) and first-party apps for Jira, Slack, and Teams; inbound automation is not supported.
Frequently asked questions
Sympli scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. No public REST API. The only programmatic surface is outbound webhooks, gated to the Enterprise plan and provisioned by emailing sales. Everything else is publisher plugins (Sketch, Figma, XD) and first-party apps for Jira, Slack, and Teams; inbound automation is not supported.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Sympli is a DesignOps collaboration platform headquartered in Washington, DC, founded in 2014 by Max Ignatyev (Founder & CTO). The company ships two distinct products under one brand.
Vertical: misc / DesignOps. Does not fit any named Supergood vertical (Legal, Healthcare, Real Estate, Compliance, Financial Services, EHR, ERP, Property Mgmt, Insurance, Fleet, etc.). Design handoff: Designer publishes a Sketch/Figma/XD/Photoshop file via the Sympli plugin → developers open the project in the Sympli web app or Xcode/Android Studio plugin → inspect layers, measurements, colors, fonts, design tokens; download exported assets at 1x/2x/3x; copy generated CSS/Swift/Android code snippets.
Medium-low. Sympli is a recognized name in the design-handoff category and is regularly listed alongside Zeplin and (the now-defunct) Avocode and Abstract in 'best design handoff tools' roundups (SitePoint, SCAND, Fantastech, Medium).
Data flowing through Sympli on behalf of customers: Design source files and exported renditions from Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, Adobe Photoshop (per-project, per-screen).
Founded 2014; Sympli Handoff launched publicly in 2016 (SD Times, April 2016). Sympli Versions launched in the 2018–2019 timeframe with subsequent GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab and Azure DevOps integrations.
No public REST API, programmatic integration is limited to outbound webhooks and pre-built plugins. Webhooks are gated to the Enterprise plan only; sales contact required to enable. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Figma Dev Mode (Figma), Zeplin, Avocode (shut down 2023), Abstract (goabstract.com, shut down 2022), InVision Inspect (sunset 2024), Marvel Handoff. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Sympli MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Sympli doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
