aesthetics-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude knowledge of 1135+ named visual aesthetics from the Aesthetics Wiki. Use it to generate CSS tokens, Tailwind configs, design briefs, and UI components grounded in real aesthetic traditions.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+

  • Claude Code (CLI, desktop app, or IDE extension)

Related MCP server: figma-mcp-server

Install

git clone https://github.com/InfiniteInsight/aesthetics-mcp.git
cd aesthetics-mcp
npm install
npm run setup

Then restart Claude Code. The MCP server and aesthetics skill are now active.

The database ships pre-scraped and pre-embedded — no scraping or model download needed on first run. The embedding model (~23MB) downloads on the first suggest_aesthetics call.

Usage

The skill activates automatically on design-related requests. You can also trigger it directly:
