generate_monochrome_scheme
Create a monochrome color scheme with variations of a single hue, specifying the base color and number of shades (3-10) for cohesive design projects.

Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| color | Yes | The seed color in hex (098765), RGB (0,71,171), or HSL (215,100%,34%) format | |
| count | No | Number of colors to generate (3-10, default: 5) |
Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.ts:116-127 (handler)The asynchronous handler function for the generate_monochrome_scheme tool. Extracts color and count from input args, generates monochrome scheme using shared helper, and returns formatted JSON as text content.async (args) => { const { color, count } = args; const result = await generateColorScheme(color, "monochrome", count); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; }
- src/tools/index.ts:94-108 (schema)Shared Zod schema defining input shape for the tool: required color string and optional count number (3-10, default 5).const colorSchemeInputShape = { color: z .string() .describe( "The seed color in hex (098765), RGB (0,71,171), or HSL (215,100%,34%) format" ), count: z .number() .int() .min(3) .max(10) .default(5) .optional() .describe("Number of colors to generate (3-10, default: 5)"), };
- src/tools/index.ts:111-129 (registration)Registers the generate_monochrome_scheme tool on the MCP server, specifying name, description, input schema, and handler function.function registerMonochromeScheme() { server.tool( "generate_monochrome_scheme", "Generates a monochrome color scheme with variations of a single hue", colorSchemeInputShape, async (args) => { const { color, count } = args; const result = await generateColorScheme(color, "monochrome", count); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } ); }
- src/tools/index.ts:46-91 (helper)Primary helper that handles API call to TheColorAPI for any scheme mode ('monochrome' for this tool), parses color input, fetches scheme, and returns formatted color list.async function generateColorScheme( color: string, mode: string, count: number = 5 ) { const { param, value } = parseColorInput(color); const url = `https://www.thecolorapi.com/scheme?${param}=${value}&mode=${mode}&count=${count}&format=json`; try { const response = await fetch(url); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error( `Color API request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}` ); } const data: any = await response.json(); if (!data.colors || !Array.isArray(data.colors)) { throw new Error("Invalid response from Color API"); } // Format the response for better readability const colors = data.colors.map((color: any, index: number) => ({ position: index + 1, hex: color.hex?.value || "N/A", rgb: color.rgb ? `rgb(${color.rgb.r}, ${color.rgb.g}, ${color.rgb.b})` : "N/A", hsl: color.hsl ? `hsl(${color.hsl.h}, ${color.hsl.s}%, ${color.hsl.l}%)` : "N/A", name: color.name?.value || "Unknown", })); return { scheme_mode: mode, seed_color: data.seed?.hex?.value || value, color_count: colors.length, colors: colors, }; } catch (error) { console.error(`Error generating ${mode} color scheme:`, error); throw error; } }
- src/tools/index.ts:6-43 (helper)Utility helper to parse and normalize seed color input into API-compatible parameter and value.function parseColorInput(color: string): { param: string; value: string } { const cleanColor = color.trim(); // Check for hex format if (cleanColor.startsWith("#")) { return { param: "hex", value: cleanColor.substring(1) }; } else if (/^[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}$/.test(cleanColor)) { return { param: "hex", value: cleanColor }; } // Check for RGB format if ( cleanColor.toLowerCase().includes("rgb") || /^\d+,\d+,\d+$/.test(cleanColor) ) { const rgbMatch = cleanColor.match(/(\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)/); if (rgbMatch) { return { param: "rgb", value: `${rgbMatch[1]},${rgbMatch[2]},${rgbMatch[3]}`, }; } } // Check for HSL format if (cleanColor.toLowerCase().includes("hsl") || cleanColor.includes("%")) { const hslMatch = cleanColor.match(/(\d+),\s*(\d+)%,\s*(\d+)%/); if (hslMatch) { return { param: "hsl", value: `${hslMatch[1]},${hslMatch[2]}%,${hslMatch[3]}%`, }; } } // Default to hex if format is unclear return { param: "hex", value: cleanColor.replace("#", "") }; }
