Framer launches version 3.0, putting AI agents inside the website canvas
Framer 3.0 brings AI agents, Git-style branching and external-agent (MCP) support to the design canvas — a European builder pushing to the front of agentic web design.
On 16 June 2026, Amsterdam-based Framer released Framer 3.0, its largest update yet, putting AI “Agents” directly inside the design canvas. The agents build pages, wire up components, edit CMS content and SEO settings, and write code inside a live project rather than producing a disconnected prototype — what the company describes as “Cursor for design.”
Alongside the agents, Framer added Branching, a Git-style workflow that lets teams make agent-driven changes on an isolated branch, review and compare them, and publish only when ready, without touching the live site. The release also opens Framer to external agents through MCP, so tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex can work on a Framer project directly. A redesigned Community and Marketplace rounds out the launch.
Founders Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk framed it as the shift that reshaped software development now reaching website creation: “Agents bring speed and scale. Humans bring taste, judgment, and control.” Framer says more than 188,000 companies and over 4 million published sites run on the platform; the release topped Product Hunt on the day.
The update lands as agentic AI design becomes the next contest among website builders, a space dominated by US incumbents such as Webflow and Wix. Framer is one of the few European tools competing at the front of that race — and its choice to adopt MCP for external agents signals it intends to interoperate with the broader AI-coding ecosystem rather than wall itself off.
