# SpriteRelay

> SpriteRelay is local software that connects compatible AI assistants to Aseprite through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with Live and CLI workflows.

SpriteRelay Live edits the document open in Aseprite through the matched SpriteRelay Live Bridge. SpriteRelay CLI works in staged copies for batch automation, with preview and explicit production commits. SpriteRelay Complete includes both editions and the matched Bridge.

Aseprite is required and licensed separately. A compatible MCP client and Node.js are also required; consult the technical reference for version requirements. SpriteRelay is not affiliated with Aseprite.

Live document edits do not automatically save to disk. CLI production changes require an explicit commit. Local processing does not mean an external AI client or model provider processes data locally; its own configuration and policies apply.
