# mcp-color-tools
MCP server providing color manipulation and design tools for AI agents.
## Tools
### color_convert
Convert a color between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK. Accepts any format as input and returns all formats.
```json
{ "color": "#ff6b35" }
{ "color": "rgb(255, 107, 53)" }
{ "color": "hsl(16, 100%, 60%)" }
{ "color": "hsv(16, 79%, 100%)" }
{ "color": "cmyk(0, 58, 79, 0)" }
```
### palette_generate
Generate a color palette from a base color.
**Types:** complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, monochromatic
```json
{ "color": "#ff6b35", "type": "triadic" }
```
### contrast_check
Check WCAG contrast ratio between two colors. Reports AA/AAA compliance for normal text, large text, and UI components.
```json
{ "color1": "#ffffff", "color2": "#333333" }
```
### color_mix
Mix, blend, lighten, darken, saturate, or desaturate colors.
```json
{ "operation": "mix", "colors": ["#ff0000", "#0000ff"], "weights": [2, 1] }
{ "operation": "blend", "colors": ["#ff0000", "#0000ff"], "ratio": 0.3 }
{ "operation": "lighten", "colors": ["#ff6b35"], "amount": 20 }
{ "operation": "darken", "colors": ["#ff6b35"], "amount": 15 }
{ "operation": "saturate", "colors": ["#888888"], "amount": 30 }
{ "operation": "desaturate", "colors": ["#ff6b35"], "amount": 25 }
```
### css_gradient
Generate CSS gradient code with direction, stops, and browser prefixes.
```json
{
"type": "linear",
"colors": ["#ff6b35", "#ffd700", "#00bcd4"],
"direction": "135deg"
}
```
```json
{
"type": "radial",
"colors": [
{ "color": "#ff6b35", "position": 0 },
{ "color": "#ffd700", "position": 50 },
{ "color": "#00bcd4", "position": 100 }
],
"direction": "circle at center"
}
```
## Setup
```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
## Claude Desktop Configuration

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: converting formats, generating palettes, checking contrast, mixing/blending colors, and generating gradients. No two tools overlap in function, so an agent can unambiguously select the right one for a given task.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern that combines an action verb or descriptive prefix with a clear object (e.g., color_convert, palette_generate, contrast_check). The naming is uniform and intuitive, with no mixed conventions or vague verbs.
The set of 5 tools is perfectly scoped for a color utility server. Each tool covers a distinct major category of color operations without redundancy or bloat, making the surface easy to navigate.
The tools cover the full spectrum of common color workflows: conversion between all standard formats, palette creation from multiple schemes, WCAG contrast analysis, comprehensive color manipulation (mixing, lighten/darken, etc.), and CSS gradient generation. There are no obvious missing operations that would hinder typical use cases.
