## Description
A design-style library for AI agents: search real styles, fetch a ready-to-apply design spec.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "curio-design-style-library": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","curio-design-style-library-2"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# Curio MCP

Connect your AI to [Curio](https://designbycurio.com) — a design-style library
built for AI agents. Hundreds of tokenized design styles (real design
movements, brands, cultural traditions), each with a machine-readable spec
your agent can apply directly to slides, websites, and products.

- **Endpoint**: `https://mcp.designbycurio.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP)
- **Auth**: OAuth sign-in — no API key. Free accounts fetch free styles; [Pro](https://designbycurio.com/pricing) unlocks the whole library.
- **Docs**: [designbycurio.com/docs](https://designbycurio.com/docs)
