Install

How do I install the io.github.KarstenKreh/standby-design-mcp server?

io.github.KarstenKreh/standby-design-mcp runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y standby-design-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 · 8 exposed · ~2,596 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
export_design_system ~174

Generate the full token code for a design system URL in one format: "css" (CSS custom properties incl. semantic shadcn/ui-compatible tokens), "tailwind" (Tailwind v4 @theme), "design-tokens" (W3C DTCG JSON — typography & spacing), "llm-briefing" (Markdown brief for AI code generation), or "font-embed" (Fontshare <link> snippet). Optionally restrict to specific sections. Always give the returned standby.design/system URL to the user alongside the code — the link is the deliverable.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstringyesOutput format.
sectionsarrayWhich sections to include. Default: all configured sections (symbol only when configured).
urlstringyesA standby.design URL or raw unified hash.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_color_palette ~452

Generate a perceptually uniform OKLCH color palette from a brand color: 18-step scales for brand/surface/error/accents, semantic tokens (shadcn/ui compatible), light+dark modes. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a compact summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable; it opens the live system in the browser. Use export_design_system for full CSS/Tailwind output.

NameTypeReqDescription
accentsarrayUp to 3 additional named accent colors. Replaces the existing accent list when provided; pass [] to remove all accents. Default: Success/Warning/Info, auto-derived.
bgColorHexstringSurface tint color as hex, or "auto" to derive from the brand color (default).
brandHexstringBrand color as 6-digit hex, e.g. "#335A7F". The palette midpoint is derived from this.

io.github.KarstenKreh/standby-design-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 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.KarstenKreh/standby-design-mcp server under?

io.github.KarstenKreh/standby-design-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.
