Jinero Tools (22)
search_fonts
Search the free font catalog by name, category, style tags, language coverage, variable/monospace flags and style count. Returns a paginated list of families.
recognize_font
Identify which font is used in an image. Powered by our OWN CNN embedding model, trained on the jinero font catalog — it matches fonts by visual shape/style, so it needs NO OCR and NO text (works for Latin and Cyrillic). Send a tight crop of one line of text as either image_url (public URL) or imag…
get_font
Get full metadata for one font family by slug: styles, weights, axes, license, subsets and download/CSS URLs.
get_font_files
List every font file (weight/italic/format + direct woff2/ttf URL) for a family — handy for building custom @font-face rules.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Codescene MCP Server is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Jinero belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess.

extract_colors
Extract a dominant-color palette from an image. Send either a public image_url or image_base64 (base64/data-URI, e.g. a local screenshot). The image is processed in memory and never stored. Each color comes back with its hex, rgb, hsl, share of the image, and the closest human color name — a named…
