Saglitzdesign MCP

An expert design & marketing brain for your AI coding agent. A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client expert‑level guidance on web, iOS, Android and macOS design - plus the UX, copywriting, SEO, GEO and marketing knowledge that makes a product actually convert. Its 33 documented tools cover design, audit, generate, system.

People connecting design tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Saglitzdesign MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set SAGLITZDESIGN_KNOWLEDGE_DIR before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add halidsaglam-saglitzdesign-mcp -- npx -y saglitzdesign-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "halidsaglam-saglitzdesign-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "saglitzdesign-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-23 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package saglitzdesign-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.HalidSaglam is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Saglitzdesign MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can fetch any document in full by id, browse the full knowledge index by category / platform, and report each doc's age vs a per‑category staleness threshold, so the base can be kept current.
