Designer Skill MCP Overview

The designer-skill-mcp MCP server routes UI design work to relevant guidance, references, and verification steps. It reads project context from PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.md, maps natural-language requests to design verbs, and exposes reference material for implementation decisions. Static checks cover 44 rules, but rendered, functional, accessibility, and performance verification remain the host's responsibility. Use it when an agent needs structured UI design guidance and auditable preflight or gate results without an API key.

Primary Use Cases for Designer Skill MCP:
  • Route a UI request to relevant design guidance
  • Load product and design context before implementation
  • Scan interface changes for deterministic anti-patterns
  • Gate static design rules before host-side verification
