## Why
Ask a coding agent for a settings screen, a paywall or a landing page and
it fills every gap with the most common choices: the same gradients, card
grids and vague copy as everyone else. UXKIN gives it something better to
work from: how real, shipped products handle the same screen or flow, and
the actual colors, type and components of real websites.
## Quick start
| What | For | Cost |
| :- | :- | :- |
| [**`no-ui-slop` skill**](#1-install-the-free-skills) | Rules that keep your agent from shipping generic, AI-looking UI | Free, no account |

### 1. Install the free skills
```sh
npx skills add uxkin/agent
```
That installs all seven, or copy them into your agent's skills folder:
- [`skills/no-ui-slop`](skills/no-ui-slop/SKILL.md): how to build UI that
fits the product. Works on its own, with no account; with the UXKIN
server connected, it also tells your agent when to look up a real
reference.
- [`skills/uxkin-research`](skills/uxkin-research/SKILL.md): how to research
before designing: search the UXKIN library in plain words, open whole
journeys, compare several apps and report what they have in common.
- [`build-ui`](.agents/skills/build-ui/SKILL.md): a plan for each kind of UI
job (new screen, dashboard, polish, simplify, review), finished by
rendering at phone and desktop sizes, fixing and checking again.
- [`ios-screens`](.agents/skills/ios-screens/SKILL.md): native iPhone UI in
SwiftUI, UIKit, React Native, Expo or Flutter, checked on small and large
iPhones, light and dark.
- [`design-md`](.agents/skills/design-md/SKILL.md): reads your project and
writes (or updates) its DESIGN.md: colors with roles, type scale,
spacing, components and rules for agents.
- [`ui-from-screenshot`](.agents/skills/ui-from-screenshot/SKILL.md): builds
a screenshot or mockup with your own components, then compares the result
with the image and fixes the differences.
- [`ui-states`](.agents/skills/ui-states/SKILL.md): finds and builds every
state of a screen (first use, empty, loading, error, offline, success)
and checks each one.
All of them work on their own; with the UXKIN server connected they can
also look up real screens, flows and design systems. The plugins below
include `no-ui-slop` and `uxkin-research`; the other five install with
the command above (they live in [`.agents/skills`](.agents/skills)).
### 2. Connect the UXKIN MCP server
The server is hosted at `https://uxkin.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Most
apps sign in with your UXKIN account: no token to copy.
| App | How |
| :- | :- |
| **Claude** (web, desktop, mobile) | Open [UXKIN in Claude's directory](https://claude.ai/directory/uxkin), click **Connect**, log in and click **Allow** |
| **Claude Code** | `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http uxkin https://uxkin.com/mcp`, then `/mcp` → uxkin → **Authenticate** |
| **Cursor** | One-click install on [uxkin.com/cursor-ui-design](https://uxkin.com/cursor-ui-design?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme), then **Login** next to uxkin |
| **Codex** | `codex mcp add uxkin --url https://uxkin.com/mcp`, then `codex mcp login uxkin` (or install the [Codex plugin](#use-it-as-a-codex-plugin)) |
| **GitHub Copilot** (VS Code) | Command Palette → **MCP: Add Server** → HTTP → `https://uxkin.com/mcp`, then sign in when asked ([guide](https://uxkin.com/github-copilot-ui-design?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme)) |
| **Lovable, Bolt, Devin Desktop** | Add a custom MCP server with the URL above ([Lovable](https://uxkin.com/lovable-ui-design?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme), [Bolt](https://uxkin.com/bolt-ui-design?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme), [Devin Desktop / Windsurf](https://uxkin.com/windsurf-ui-design?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme)) |
| **Any other MCP client** | Add `https://uxkin.com/mcp` and sign in, or follow the setup at [uxkin.com/docs](https://uxkin.com/docs?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme) |
Searching needs a UXKIN plan ([Monthly or Lifetime](https://uxkin.com/pricing?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme)).
You can disconnect any app from your [account](https://uxkin.com/account?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme).
## Try it
Once connected, ask your agent things like:
- *"Use UXKIN to find onboarding flows from real meditation apps, and tell me what they have in common."*
- *"Use UXKIN to show me how real apps handle cancelling a subscription, then improve my cancel screen."*
- *"Find a light, minimal SaaS design system on UXKIN and build my landing page hero in that style."*
- *"Before you build the paywall, look up three real paywalls on UXKIN and say which decisions you're taking from each."*
## Tools
| Tool | Returns |
| :- | :- |
| `find_ui_references` | Real iOS app screens, user journeys (multi-screen flows like onboarding or cancelling a subscription) and websites |
| `find_ui_materials` | Design systems from real websites: colors with their roles, typography, components, and the full DESIGN.md for the top match |
| `get_journey` | Every screen of one journey, in order |
| `list_collections` / `get_collection` | The references you saved into collections on uxkin.com |
All tools are read-only.
It also offers ready-made prompts your app can show as commands (in
Claude Code: `/mcp__uxkin__research_flow` and so on):
| Prompt | What it asks your agent to do |
|--------|-------------------------------|
| `research_flow` | See how real apps handle a flow (onboarding, checkout, paywall…) and recommend one |
| `find_design_system` | Find real website design systems that fit your product and mood |
| `review_my_ui` | Compare a screen in your project with real apps and suggest fixes |
| `build_from_collection` | Start from references you saved on uxkin.com |
## What's in this repository
- **The `no-ui-slop` and `uxkin-research` skills** ([`skills`](skills)). The five other skills are installed separately with `npx skills add uxkin/agent`.
- **The UXKIN plugin** for Claude ([`.claude-plugin`](.claude-plugin)),
Cursor ([`.cursor-plugin`](.cursor-plugin)) and Codex
([`.codex-plugin`](.codex-plugin)), the Kiro power ([`POWER.md`](POWER.md)),
the Google Antigravity plugin
([`plugin.json`](plugin.json)) and the Gemini CLI extension
([`gemini-extension.json`](gemini-extension.json)): the skill and the MCP
server in one install.
- **The MCP server listing** ([`server.json`](server.json)), published to the
[official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io).
- **UXKIN's own design system** ([`DESIGN.md`](DESIGN.md)): UXKIN exports a
DESIGN.md for every website in its library, and UXKIN itself is built from
one. Hand it to your agent to see the format in action.
- **Where UXKIN is listed** ([`DISTRIBUTION.md`](DISTRIBUTION.md)): every
registry, app store and directory, and where each one stands.
- **Examples** ([`examples`](examples)): config files for each app, project
instructions for your `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`, example prompts, and
worked examples (account deletion, subscription cancellation, mobile
onboarding) showing what an agent does differently with UXKIN.
### Use it as a Claude plugin
One install adds the skill and the UXKIN server. The skill works right
away; to search the library, connect the server (Claude opens a UXKIN page
where you log in and click **Allow**). In Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick
`uxkin` and choose **Authenticate**.
In Claude Code you can also add it from GitHub directly:
```sh
claude plugin marketplace add uxkin/agent
claude plugin install uxkin@uxkin
```
### Use it as a Cursor plugin
After installing, click **Login** next to uxkin in Cursor's MCP settings,
log in to UXKIN and click **Allow**.
### Use it as a Codex plugin
```sh
codex plugin marketplace add uxkin/agent
codex plugin add uxkin@uxkin
codex mcp login uxkin
```
The last command opens a UXKIN page where you log in and click **Allow**.
### Use it as a Google Antigravity plugin
```sh
git clone https://github.com/uxkin/agent uxkin
agy plugin install ./uxkin
```
Then type `/mcp`, pick `uxkin` and choose **Authenticate**: a UXKIN page
opens where you log in and click **Allow**. To add only the server, put
[`mcp_config.json`](mcp_config.json) in `~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json`.
### Use it as a Kiro power
In Kiro, open the **Powers** panel → **Add Custom Power** → **Import power
from GitHub**, and enter `https://github.com/uxkin/agent`. When Kiro asks
to authenticate `uxkin`, click **Authenticate**, log in to UXKIN and click
**Allow**.
### Use it as a Gemini CLI extension
```sh
gemini extensions install https://github.com/uxkin/agent
```
Then start Gemini CLI and type `/mcp auth uxkin`: a UXKIN page opens where
you log in and click **Allow**.
## What it sends
The skill runs locally and sends nothing. The MCP server receives only the
search text your agent sends (for example "onboarding for a meditation
app"), the result limit and your sign-in, and returns matching references
from uxkin.com. It doesn't read your code, files or conversation. See the
[privacy policy](https://uxkin.com/privacy?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme).
