Saglitzdesign MCP Tools (29)

list_design_knowledge

List the knowledge-base index (design languages, UI components, UX, craft, books, process, marketing, SEO, GEO, patterns). Returns every document grouped by category — each with its id, title, platform, and tags. Use this first to discover what's available and get exact ids; then read one with get_design_doc, or search by need with search_design_knowledge.

search_design_knowledge

Search the whole knowledge base with a natural-language query — UI components, UX, accessibility, typography, color, motion, conversion, copywriting, SEO/GEO, platform design languages, craft standards, distilled design & marketing books, roadmaps, and real-world app/site patterns. Returns the top-matching documents, each with its single most relevant section excerpted and its id. Use for open-ended 'how should I…' questions; if you already know the id use get_design_doc, to browse everything use list_design_knowledge.
