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.

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.
