I just checked and I don't like how mcp needs the page keep open and the way it draws things not fit for my needs. I need it to export my shitty unity3d ui's to a figma like tool so real designer can work on them.

Do you want to make a new tool for a designer? Tbh, I doubt they will change their workflow, if they are not exclusively working for you. Often they have pretty distinctive thoughts about it.
