Design DNA MCP Server

This repository now exposes the upgraded landing_page_design_agent_reference.md file as a local MCP server for coding agents.

What it does

Given a design prompt, the server:

• classifies the ask against archetypes such as A01 Dark Technical Comparison SaaS or A15 Serene Wellness Minimal
• picks a primary, secondary, and optional tertiary reference without mixing incompatible systems
• uses site-level observed cues plus archetype defaults
• returns composition guidance, design tokens, button/form style, imagery direction, proof strategy, and critique notes

Tools

• get_design_guidance
• list_design_knowledge
• get_design_category
• get_mix_recipe

Install

Install globally from the local repo:

npm install -g /Users/rajivpriyadarshi/Desktop/Design-agent

Or build a tarball first and install that:

cd /Users/rajivpriyadarshi/Desktop/Design-agent
npm pack
npm install -g ./design-dna-mcp-0.2.1.tgz

After install, the CLI command is:

design-dna-mcp --doctor

Run locally

design-dna-mcp

Example MCP config

For clients that support stdio MCP servers, point them at the installed binary:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-dna": {
      "command": "design-dna-mcp"
    }
  }
}

If you do not want a global install, you can still use the repo directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-dna": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/rajivpriyadarshi/Desktop/Design-agent/bin/design-dna-mcp.js"],
      "cwd": "/Users/rajivpriyadarshi/Desktop/Design-agent"
    }
  }
}

Knowledge layout

• landing_page_design_agent_reference.md
• design_knowledge/sources.json

The registry is what makes future expansion clean. When you add more files later, the next step is to register them in design_knowledge/sources.json and extend parsing rules only if the new file shape differs.

Expected usage

Send a product prompt like:

Design a landing page for an AI compliance platform aimed at fintech teams. It should feel credible, modern, and optimized for demo bookings.

The server will return:

• chosen primary/secondary/tertiary references
• selected archetype defaults
• any matching mix recipe
• concrete design guidance and what to avoid
