Install

How do I install the Craftery Developer Tools MCP server?

Craftery Developer Tools is a hosted endpoint at https://craftery.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~1,009 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
check_contrast ~205

Compute the exact WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio between a foreground and background color (relative-luminance formula) and report AA / AAA pass-fail for normal text (4.5 / 7), large text (3 / 4.5), and UI components (3). Use this instead of estimating contrast — the luminance math is precise here.

NameTypeReqDescription
backgroundstringyesBackground color. Color in any supported notation: hex (#F43, #FF6347, #FF6347CC), rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), a CSS named color (tomato), or a Tailwind token (red-500).
foregroundstringyesForeground (text) color. Color in any supported notation: hex (#F43, #FF6347, #FF6347CC), rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), a CSS named color (tomato), or a Tailwind token (red-500).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

convert_color ~190

Convert a color into exact, platform-correct code for 12 formats: HEX, HEX8, rgba(), hsla(), closest CSS named color, closest Tailwind class, SwiftUI Color, UIColor, Jetpack Compose, Android XML, Flutter, and React Native. Handles the per-platform alpha byte order (RRGGBBAA on the web vs. AARRGGBB on Android/Compose/Flutter) that is easy to get wrong by hand.

NameTypeReqDescription
alphanumber–Opacity 0–1. Overrides any alpha embedded in the color input. Defaults to the input's alpha, or 1.
colorstringyesColor in any supported notation: hex (#F43, #FF6347, #FF6347CC), rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), a CSS named color (tomato), or a Tailwind token (red-500).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

convert_timestamp ~153

Convert between Unix epoch timestamps and human dates with exact math: accepts epoch seconds / milliseconds / microseconds (auto-detected by magnitude), ISO 8601 / RFC 2822 strings, or "now". Returns seconds, millis, micros, ISO 8601 UTC, RFC 7231 UTC, the wall-clock time in a requested IANA timezone, and a relative description.

NameTypeReqDescription
inputstringyesEpoch timestamp (e.g. "1735689600", "1735689600000"), ISO 8601 / RFC 2822 date string, or "now".
timezonestring–IANA timezone for the wall-clock output (e.g. "Asia/Seoul"). Default UTC.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_uuid ~142

Generate cryptographically random UUIDs: v4 (random), v7 (RFC 9562 time-ordered, sortable — batches stay strictly ordered), or NIL. Never invent UUIDs by hand — use this for real randomness. Supports uppercase, hyphen-less, and braced formatting.

NameTypeReqDescription
bracesboolean–Wrap in braces. Default false.
countinteger–How many UUIDs to generate (1–100). Default 1.
hyphensboolean–Keep hyphens. Default true.
uppercaseboolean–Uppercase output. Default false.
versionstring–UUID version. Default v4.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hash_text ~135

Compute real MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests of a UTF-8 string, or HMAC variants when a key is given (HMAC-MD5 unsupported). Hashes cannot be computed mentally — always use this. Runs statelessly; input is not stored. For secrets you'd rather keep on-device, use the in-browser tool at craftery.dev/hash/ instead.

NameTypeReqDescription
hmac_keystring–Optional HMAC key. When set, outputs are HMAC digests.
textstringyesText to hash (UTF-8).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

swiftui_color ~184

Generate every SwiftUI Color initializer for a color: Color(red:green:blue:), opacity variant, Color(.sRGB), Color(.displayP3), HSB, hex-extension call, #colorLiteral, UIColor/NSColor bridges — plus a reusable `extension Color` snippet and Asset Catalog Contents.json.

NameTypeReqDescription
alphanumber–Opacity 0–1. Defaults to the input's alpha, or 1.
colorstringyesColor in any supported notation: hex (#F43, #FF6347, #FF6347CC), rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), a CSS named color (tomato), or a Tailwind token (red-500).
namestring–Optional swatch name for the `extension Color` snippet (e.g. "Brand Primary" → `Color.brandPrimary`).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the Craftery Developer Tools MCP server?

Craftery Developer Tools is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.craftery/tools. Developer utilities: color conversion, WCAG contrast, timestamps, UUIDs, and hashing. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://craftery.dev/mcp).

Is the Craftery Developer Tools MCP server safe to use?

Craftery Developer Tools scores 72 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Craftery Developer Tools MCP server expose?

Craftery Developer Tools exposes 6 tools: convert_color, check_contrast, swiftui_color, generate_uuid, hash_text, convert_timestamp. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,009 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Craftery Developer Tools MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Craftery Developer Tools without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Craftery Developer Tools MCP server still maintained?

Craftery Developer Tools is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 27 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
