get_design_system

โ€”

Generate complete design system with colors, typography, UI style, and layout in one call

AI-Optimized Query Processing

The get_design_system tool uses intelligent query processing optimized for AI model consumers:

Position-Weighted Intent Classification

Queries are processed left-to-right with multi-word phrase priority:

  1. Multi-word phrases first: "landing page", "admin panel", "hero section" have higher priority

  2. Then single words: "dashboard", "landing", "analytics"

  3. Position matters: Earlier keywords get higher confidence (5% penalty per word position)

Examples:

Query

Detected Intent

Reason

"SaaS landing page dashboard"

landing

"landing page" phrase found

"dashboard for SaaS landing"

dashboard

"dashboard" is first

"admin panel with hero section"

dashboard

"admin panel" phrase beats "hero"

"website for fintech startup"

landing

"website" maps to landing

AI-Optimized Output Structure

The _meta field provides transparency for AI models:

{ "_meta": { "query_interpretation": "SaaS landing page with glassmorphism (dark mode)", "detected_intent": "landing", "intent_confidence": 0.85, "matched_keyword": "landing page", "keyword_position": 1, "warnings": [] } }

Dark Mode Color Parsing

When mode: "dark", the tool:

  1. Searches for dark-mode compatible palettes

  2. Parses Dark_Mode_Colors JSON from the database

  3. Replaces palette colors with dark mode equivalents

  4. Includes both light and dark mode palettes in response

Code-Ready Snippets

Colors include ready-to-paste code:

{ "colors": { "css_variables": "--primary: #0066FF; --background: #0A0E14; --text: #E5E5E5;", "tailwind_config": "colors: { primary: '#0066FF', ... }" } }

Layout Source Indicator

The layout.source field tells AI models where the layout recommendation came from:

  • "landing" - From landing page patterns database

  • "dashboard" - From product's dashboard style recommendation


๐Ÿ’ฌ Example Prompts

Use these with Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI:

๐ŸŽจ Design Systems "What UI style works best for a fintech dashboard?" "Give me a color palette for a healthcare app" "Find modern font pairings for a SaaS landing page" ๐Ÿ“Š Data Visualization "What chart type should I use for time-series data?" "How do I make charts accessible?" ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Landing Pages "Show me landing page patterns for SaaS conversion" "What sections should a pricing page have?" ๐Ÿ“ฑ UX Guidelines "What are mobile touch target best practices?" "Show me accessibility guidelines for forms" โš›๏ธ Framework-Specific "React hooks best practices" "Vue 3 composition API patterns" "Next.js App Router guidelines" "Flutter state management recommendations" ๐Ÿ“ฑ Platform Guidelines (NEW) "iOS navigation patterns" "Android Material 3 color system" "SwiftUI style without Swift" โ†’ Flutter/RN equivalents "iOS typography guidelines with Flutter equivalent" "Android dynamic color implementation"

Platform Keyword Triggers

The search engine automatically detects platform intent from these keywords:

Platform

Trigger Keywords

iOS

ios, swiftui, cupertino, iphone, ipad, apple design, hig, sf symbols

Android

android, material 3, material design, jetpack compose, kotlin ui, dynamic color, m3

Cross-Platform Query Examples

๐ŸŽ iOS Design Without Swift Query: "SwiftUI style flutter e-commerce" Returns: iOS HIG patterns with Flutter_Equiv code (CupertinoWidgets) ๐Ÿค– Android Material 3 Query: "material design android dashboard" Returns: Material 3 patterns with Compose, Flutter, RN equivalents ๐Ÿ”„ Cross-Platform Patterns Query: "iOS navigation patterns react native" Returns: iOS navigation guidelines with RN_Equiv implementations

The server can run in HTTP mode for testing without MCP clients:

# Start HTTP server on port 3456 PORT=3456 npm run start:http

Then test with curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3456/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_colors","arguments":{"query":"fintech"}},"id":1}'
