Curio MCP

Connect your AI to Curio — a design-style library built for AI agents. Hundreds of tokenized design styles (real design movements, brands, cultural traditions), each with a machine-readable spec your agent can apply directly to slides, websites, and products.

  • Endpoint: https://mcp.designbycurio.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)

  • Auth: OAuth sign-in — no API key. Searching and browsing are free; 1 credit unlocks a style for good (credit packs, never expire).

  • Docs: designbycurio.com/docs

What it does

Cost

search_styles

Keyword + facet search over the library

free

list_styles

Browse / paginate, filtered by facets

free

get_style

Metadata + preview image for one style

free

get_style_spec

Full design spec (DESIGN.md) for a style you've unlocked; for a locked style it returns the cost and your balance instead

free

unlock_style

Unlock a style for good and return its spec — your AI asks you first

1 credit, once per style

get_balance

Your credit balance and how many styles you've unlocked

free

Your AI never spends a credit on its own: get_style_spec only reads, and unlock_style is meant to be called after you agree. Unlocking a style you already own costs nothing.
