Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security92
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs a script at install time (postinstall) that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we do not read the published tarball, so we cannot say what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
- 39 of 118 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to saiffmirza/kiyas). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 62 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 805 tokens (~268/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →
compare ~621
Compare a design against a rendered implementation and return discrepancies (measured on kiyas's golden eval set: 90% mutation recall, zero false positives on identical pairs). Provide `figma` (frame URL) or `designImage` (local path or URL of a design screenshot), plus either `target` (a URL) or `component` (natural-language description; kiyas finds it in the codebase). No Figma token needed for `designImage` — if a Figma MCP server is connected, export the frame as an image with its screenshot tool and pass that here. Returns a reportId you can pass to get_diff_report or list_issues.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| authState | string | – | Path to a Playwright storageState JSON file (cookies + localStorage). Lets kiyas screenshot authenticated views the same way your tests do. Generate with `npx playwright codegen --save-storage=auth.j… |
| colorScheme | string | – | Force prefers-color-scheme for the capture. Default: auto — kiyas detects the design's brightness and retries in the matching scheme. |
| component | string | – | Natural-language description of the component to find in the codebase, e.g. "primary button on the login page". |
| designImage | string | – | Local path, http(s) URL, or base64 data: URI of a design image (e.g. a screenshot) to compare against, instead of a Figma URL. Useful when no Figma token is configured — e.g. export the frame with a… |
| devServer | string | – | Dev server base URL (default: auto-detect a listening server on ports 3000/5173/8080/4200, else http://localhost:3000) |
| figma | string | – | Figma frame/component URL. Provide either `figma` OR `designImage`. |
| fullPage | boolean | – | Capture the full scrollable page when no selector is given (default: true) |
| model | string | – | AI provider (default: claude) |
| name | string | – | Friendly name for the comparison, used in the report header |
| runs | integer | – | Run the comparison N times and keep majority-vote findings — higher consistency at N× cost (default: 1) |
| scale | number | – | Render scale applied to both the Figma export and the screenshot (default: adaptive — 2 for component-sized captures, 1 for large ones) |
| selector | string | – | CSS selector to screenshot a specific element |
| target | string | – | Direct URL of the rendered component. Provide either `target` OR `component`. |
| threshold | string | – | Severity threshold for the rendered HTML report (default: all) |
| viewport | string | – | Viewport for the screenshot, format WIDTHxHEIGHT (default: 1280x720) |
| wait | integer | – | Time in ms to wait after page load before screenshotting |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_diff_report ~117
Fetch a stored kiyas report by reportId. Defaults to JSON; pass format=html to fetch the rendered report. Returns the artifact path and (by default for JSON) inline content.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Which artifact to return (default: json) |
| includeContent | boolean | – | When true, return the raw file content inline. When false, return only the path. Default: true for json, false for html (HTML is large). |
| reportId | string | yes | Report ID returned from a prior compare call |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_issues ~67
List discrepancies from a stored kiyas report by reportId, optionally filtered by severity (all | high | medium | low).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| reportId | string | yes | Report ID returned from a prior compare call |
| severity | string | – | Filter to a single severity level (default: all) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
