Kite (kite.new) is a design tool where AI agents and your team work in the same file. Its hosted server has 61 tools: make, search, copy and archive files; draw and edit frames from HTML; build components and design systems; export a layer as SVG, React, Tailwind or HTML; bring a public web page in as layers; and read and answer comments. You sign in to Kite in the browser and click Allow; there is no key to copy unless you run a headless agent. Anyone with a file's link can view it unless file_share limits it to invited emails. Kite's privacy policy says it doesn't read, train on or sell your files. The free plan has 3 files and 200 agent actions a day; Pro is $20 per editor a month. The Kite desktop app also offers a local route that needs no sign-in; it isn't graded here. This is not Zerodha's Kite trading API. No advisories on record. Biggest deduction: the server is closed source (the GitHub repo holds plugin files and the skill) and every public commit is by one developer, so maintenance is scored one band lower. Close behind: OAuth has a single scope, so every connected agent gets every tool, including sharing and archiving files.

Is Kite MCP Server (kite.new) safe to use?
Kite MCP Server (kite.new) grades B (solid, with minor gaps). Login is required, but access is coarse: one sign-in or key covers more than your agent needs, so grant the narrowest account you can. Upkeep is hard to verify (closed source or a single maintainer), so pin the version you tested.
Does Kite MCP Server (kite.new) have known vulnerabilities?
Not in our current data: it has no open CVEs or advisories. We re-check as new ones are published.
Does Kite MCP Server (kite.new) support authentication?
Yes. It requires a login, so access can be tied to a person or a scoped key.
