Right now I use codex cli in my dart and flutter codebase. I have not had the urge to try the MCP yet, but I am curious if there is something I am missing.
The CLI tool can already run all the dart flutter commands from the CLI, so it can easily see build errors or analysis if it needs to. Is there any other functionality I am not considering here.
I’m trying to find a web-based AI UI/mockup tool for a Flutter app, and I’m having trouble finding one that fits what I actually want.
What I want is something that can generate app screens mostly from prompts, with minimal manual design work, and then let me export the design as a plain text file that an LLM can read easily. I do not want front-end code export, and I do not want to rely on MCP, Figma integrations, or just screenshots/images. Ideally it would export something like Markdown, JSON, YAML, HTML or some other text-based layout/spec description of the UI.
Does anyone know a tool that actually does this well? I tried Google Stitch and it only exports to proprietary formats.
I like to have intimate control of my app development process, so just having my visual design prompts just output as code is no good for me.

I have been using codex CLI for a year now to help me accelerate dev on my existing Flutter app. It has been a total game changer!
Now that I have most of the hard backend, e2e testing, dev ops stuff done, I finally get to focus on making the app pretty.
I am curious what AI tools people are using for flutter dev. What sort of formats can I export designs into such that codex CLI can easily digest it?
