## MCP tools (3)

### `clone_website` (~251 tokens)

Clone website frontend

Clone a website's frontend (markup, original CSS, fonts, images, scroll animations) into a static preview plus Next.js and Astro projects, then score it against the original with pixel diffs at desktop and mobile widths. Takes ~1 minute per page (several minutes with build=true). Returns output paths and scores (percent identical).

Input parameters:

- `build` (boolean): Also npm install + build + score the generated apps (slow, default false)
- `frameworks` (array): Projects to generate (default next + astro)
- `outDir` (string): Output directory (default ./dittu-out/<host>)
- `pages` (integer): Crawl up to n same-site pages (default 1)
- `remove` (array): CSS selectors to drop (cookie banners, chat widgets)
- `styling` (string): css keeps the original stylesheet (default); tailwind converts class rules to Tailwind utilities wherever that renders identically and keeps the rest as CSS
- `url` (string, required): Page to clone, e.g. https://gole.codes
- `verify` (boolean): Score the clone against the original (default true)
- `waitMs` (integer): Extra wait after load in ms

### `verify_clone` (~100 tokens)

Verify a clone

Re-score an existing clone against the original site (e.g. after refactoring the generated components). Use targets ["next"] or ["astro"] to build and score a generated project. A score drop means the refactor changed rendering.

Input parameters:

- `outDir` (string, required): Output directory of a previous clone
- `targets` (array): What to score (default preview)
- `widths` (array): Viewport widths (default 1440, 390)

### `read_report` (~45 tokens)

Read clone report

Manifest and latest scores of a clone: pages, targets, per-width scores, diff image paths, worst regions.

Input parameters:

- `outDir` (string, required): Output directory of a previous clone
