Penpot MCP Server showcase + ask for help

I was able to get the official Penpot MCP server running locally and connected up to JetBrains Rider IDE with the Junie AI. I had issues with Junie reporting a repeated timeout when using the http://localhost:4401/mcp however dropping to http://localhost:4401/sse allowed Junie to use it and not time out.

In Rider (which I will assume the other IDEs using Junie will be similar)

Open Settings and find the Junie > MCP Settings

Edit the servers file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "penpot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:4401/sse"
    }
  }
}
