Tools it offers

17 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • designesy_catalogList the 23 published Designesy packages with versions, URLs, and statuses. Use this to discover what Designesy publishes before fetching a specific contract. When NOT to use: if you already know which package you need,
  • designesy_contractGet the Designesy design-system contract: the canonical tokens, motion, acoustic, takt, cadence, typography, components, and verification rules that define what the Designesy org considers legitimate design. Use this whe
  • designesy_design_reviewGet the Designesy Design Review rubric for a qualitative design critique: eight dimensions (Purpose, Clarity, Context, Inclusion, System coherence, Durability, Delight, Responsibility), the output format, and the verific
  • designesy_skill_mdGet the Designesy SKILL.md: the agent-skill-format export of the design-system contract, for a user to save into .agents/skills/ or a system prompt so a coding agent builds UI to the contract (tokens, anti-patterns, rule
  • designesy_agent_jsonGet the Designesy agent discovery document (/.well-known/agent.json) as reference data: the org identity, authority, discovery endpoints, package index, machine exports, permission policy, contact, and citation templates
  • designesy_llms_txtGet the Designesy /llms.txt brief as reference data: what Designesy is, canonical links, topics, the published package list, machine exports, standing rules, and contact. Use this first when you don't know what Designesy
  • designesy_llms_full_txtGet the Designesy /llms-full.txt brief as reference data: authority, discovery endpoints, topics, every published package with its links, standing rules, and anti-patterns. Use this for a fuller picture of the Designesy
  • designesy_scoreScore a live URL against the Designesy design contract: a deterministic 45-check verification engine that returns a numeric score, letter grade (A-F), and per-check breakdown. Use this to audit whether a website or AI-ge
  • designesy_tokens_scoreValidate a design token file against the W3C Design Tokens Community Group (DTCG) 2025.10 Final Community Group Report (the spec's first stable version, published Oct 28 2025 as a Candidate Recommendation and considered
  • designesy_a11y_scoreGet the Designesy WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility verification framework: 11 conformance checks (a01-a11) plus a ready-to-run Playwright + axe-core 4.13.0 script template targeting your URL. Use this to audit a site for access
  • designesy_motion_scoreValidate one Lottie animation file against the Designesy motion contract: its ten checks (m01-m10), drawn from the Lottie spec v1.0.1 and the Designesy §16 Ten Non-Negotiable Motion Standards. Each check returns PASS, FA
  • designesy_drift_scoreScore a live URL for AI-generated UI drift. Its 12 checks detect the four documented 2026 drift failure modes: token fabrication (var() references with no fallback to custom properties declared nowhere: not in a styleshe
  • designesy_readiness_scoreScore a URL for design-system AI readiness, the 6th maturity axis (zeroheight 2026). 10 checks probe the target origin for machine-readable artifacts: DTCG token files, llms.txt, agent.json, MCP endpoint (tools/list), DE
  • designesy_guardrailsGenerate a frozen build-contract bundle for AI coding agents from any design system URL (the product layer). Ingests a site, extracts its :root tokens, and emits 6 outputs: (1) DTCG-format token file, (2) Stylelint confi
  • designesy_monitor_scoreScore a URL for continuous design-drift governance, the temporal layer over the drift radar. Re-runs the 12 drift checks (d01-d12) on the URL and computes 10 monitor checks (m01-m10): history supplied, last run fresh, dr
  • designesy_compareDiff two design systems from live URLs, using the only URL-scoped design-token diff engine. Fetches both URLs in parallel, extracts their :root custom properties, and produces a structured diff across 8 dimensions: token
  • designesy_reportGenerate a unified design-intelligence report for a single URL, the synthesis capstone. Fires /score (45-check audit), /drift (12-check drift radar), and /readiness (10-check AI readiness) in parallel, then computes a we

Questions

What is the Designesy MCP server?

Design quality gate for AI-generated UI: score any URL on 45 deterministic checks, A–F grade. It is made by @LE-VAI and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.LE-VAI/designesy-org. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Designesy to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://www.designesy.org/api/mcp. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http designesy-org https://www.designesy.org/api/mcp

How do I add Designesy to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://www.designesy.org/api/mcp.

How do I add Designesy to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "designesy-org": { "url": "https://www.designesy.org/api/mcp" } } }

Does Designesy work right now?

Yes. It responded when we last checked on 31 Oct 2026. We check remote MCP servers every day.

What can Designesy do?

It gives your AI 17 tools, including designesy_catalog, designesy_contract, designesy_design_review, designesy_skill_md, designesy_agent_json. The full list is on this page.
