Quick Design

An MCP server that generates professional design artifacts (HTML, PDF, PPTX) in seconds — powered by Open Design's 150 design systems and 270+ skills.

Built on top of Open Design — the open-source Claude Design alternative. Quick Design reimagines it as a lightweight MCP server that any AI agent (OpenClaw, Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor) can call for instant design generation.

What It Does

Your message → AI Agent → Quick Design MCP → Gemini generates HTML → PDF/PPTX → Delivered

Feed a design system as a skill. Get production-quality HTML in one shot.

MCP Server Setup

With OpenClaw

Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "quick_design": {
        "command": "python3",
        "args": ["-m", "src.server"],
        "cwd": "/path/to/quick_design"
      }
    }
  }
}

With Claude Code / Kiro

claude mcp add quick_design python3 -m src.server --cwd /path/to/quick_design

Example: Ferrari Design for Mahindra

This is the power of Quick Design — take any design system, apply it to any brand:

Prompt:

Create a landing page for MAHINDRA using the ferrari_automotive skill.
Models: Thar Roxx, XUV700, Scorpio-N, XUV 3XO, BE 6e
Tagline: "Explore the Impossible"

Result: A full cinematic red-and-black landing page with Ferrari's design DNA — gradients, red glows, razor-sharp buttons, editorial layout — applied to Mahindra's brand.

The ferrari_automotive skill has exact CSS patterns baked in:

  • Red (#DA291C) and black gradients throughout

  • Red ambient glow effects behind vehicles

  • Full red stats section

  • Chiaroscuro editorial rhythm

  • 2px border-radius (razor precision)

This approach works for any brand × any design system. Feed a skill with exact CSS, get consistent output every time.

│  3. Load craft rules (anti-AI-slop quality)      │
│  4. Compose prompt → send to Gemini              │
│  5. Save HTML → convert to PDF/PPTX             │
│  6. Return file path to agent                    │

Adding Custom Skills

Drop a .md file in src/skills/:

# My Custom Skill

## EXACT CSS Patterns To Use
(paste your CSS here — the model copies it)

## Page Section Structure
1. Section name — description
2. Section name — description
...

The key insight: don't describe what you want — give the model exact CSS to copy. Small models follow templates perfectly but fail at creative interpretation.

Acknowledgements

This project is built on Open Design (Apache-2.0) — the open-source Claude Design alternative by nexu-io. We use their:

  • 150 design systems (DESIGN.md files)

  • 270+ skill prompts (SKILL.md files)

  • Craft rules (anti-AI-slop, typography, color discipline)

Quick Design doesn't replace Open Design — it's a lightweight MCP adapter that makes the same design intelligence available as a single-shot tool call for any AI agent.
