Zoo Developer Tools
Use our tools outside of Zoo Design Studio UI
Developer Tools is the umbrella section for the ways you can work with Zoo outside the main product UI. Learn more about our APIs, CLI, SDKs, and tutorials.
If you are not a full-time developer, think of this section as the part of Zoo that helps you connect design workflows to other software, scripts, and teams.
What Lives Here
Choose the tool based on how you want to work with Zoo.
API and SDKs
Use Zoo from your own app, backend, or automation. Best for integrating file conversion, modeling, and ML workflows into another product.
CLI
Run Zoo from a terminal or a script. Good for one-off tasks, local automation, and CI jobs.
MCP
Connect Zoo to Claude, Codex, and other MCP-compatible AI tools so you can keep the assistant you already like and still use Zoo infrastructure.
Tutorials
Follow step-by-step examples for your first successful integration, including JavaScript and Python quickstarts.

Zoo MCP
Use Zoo from Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP clients while keeping results inspectable in Zoo Design Studio.
