Install

How do I install the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y color-engine-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~1,331 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
contrast ~186

Compute the WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio between two fully opaque CSS color strings and return WCAG tier flags (AA/AAA normal/large text). Set apca:true to also get the signed APCA-W3 Lc for text `a` over background `b`.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

convert_color ~75

Convert a CSS color string into a canonical hex, rgb, hsl, or oklch format string.

NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyesThe input color formatted in the requested target format (oklch is raw/lossless; hex/rgb/hsl are sRGB-clamped for out-of-gamut inputs)

No examples provided.

gamut_map ~99

Map any CSS color string into the sRGB gamut via perceptual OKLCH chroma reduction. Returns the nearest in-gamut hex, raw OKLCH components, and a `clamped` flag indicating whether the input was out-of-gamut.

No examples provided.

generate_ramp ~347

Generate a tint-to-shade color ramp from a base CSS color. Returns an ordered list of swatches (light → dark) each with its in-gamut hex, display-rounded OKLCH components (l/c 5dp, h 2dp), WCAG contrast ratios (2dp) + tiers vs white and black, and an in-gamut flag. Optionally emits the ramp as design tokens via tokenFormat ("tailwind" JSON or a "css-variables" :root block).

NameTypeReqDescription
basestringyesAny CSS color string, e.g. "#3b82f6", "oklch(0.6 0.35 30)" (max 256 chars)

lightnessMinnumberLower lightness endpoint (OKLCH L, 0..1). Default 0.05.
stepsintegerNumber of swatches (integer 2..512). Default 5.
tokenFormatstringOptional design-token format for the ramp ("tailwind" JSON object or a "css-variables" :root block); when present the output includes a `tokens` string.
tokenNamestringBase name for emitted tokens (letters/digits/hyphens, must start with a letter, 1-64 chars). Default "color".
NameTypeReqDescription

oklchobjectyesRaw (lossless) OKLCH components of the parsed color
rgbobjectyessRGB-clamped 0-255 integer channels; see inGamut

No examples provided.

solve_for_contrast ~554

Find a foreground color that meets one or more WCAG 2.1 contrast targets against a background. Binary-searches OKLCH lightness (holding hue/chroma fixed) and returns the nearest-compliant hex plus the achieved ratio. Pass `target` for one target or `targets` for several; `prefer` selects lighter/darker/either; `hue`/`chroma` pin the foreground chromaticity. If BOTH `target` and `targets` are provided, `targets` takes precedence. The response shape differs by mode: a single `target` returns `{ met, color, ratio }` (with an optional `nearMiss` flag); `targets` returns `{ results: [{ met, color, ratio, nearMiss? }, ...] }`. The output schema is an all-optional superset of both shapes (SDK 1.29 single-shape limitation). An unparseable background returns the PARSE_FAILED error; a translucent background (alpha < 1, e.g. rgba()/hsla()/#rgba/#rrggbbaa) returns ALPHA_UNSUPPORTED — composite it over its backdrop first.

NameTypeReqDescription
backgroundstringyesBackground CSS color string, e.g. "#FFFFFF", "oklch(0.6 0.1 240)" (max 256 chars).

huenumberFixed OKLCH hue (degrees, cyclic) held constant during the lightness search. Giving hue WITHOUT chroma does not add saturation: chroma then defaults to the background's own chroma, which is 0 for ach…
preferstringSearch direction relative to the background lightness. Default "either".
targetnumberSingle WCAG 2.1 contrast target (e.g. 4.5, 7). Use this OR `targets` (targets wins if both given).
targetsarrayMultiple WCAG 2.1 contrast targets (1-50 entries; an empty array is rejected). Takes precedence over `target`. Returns one result per target.
NameTypeReqDescription
colorSINGLE-target: nearest-compliant foreground hex, or null when unreachable
metbooleanSINGLE-target: whether the target contrast was achievable
nearMissbooleanSINGLE-target: present/true when met was granted via the near-ceiling tolerance
ratioSINGLE-target: achieved WCAG 2.1 ratio (display-rounded), or peak attainable when not met

Common questions

What is the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp. Six pure, in-memory CSS color tools: parse, convert, WCAG/APCA contrast, gamut map, ramps, solver. This page covers its npm package (color-engine-mcp).

Is the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp scores 80 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 24 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server expose?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp exposes 6 tools: parse_color, convert_color, contrast, gamut_map, generate_ramp, solve_for_contrast. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,331 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp server under?

io.github.aimsise/color-engine-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
