## Tools
- generate_color_palette (Generate color palette) - Generate a perceptually uniform OKLCH color palette from a brand color: 18-step scales for brand/surface/error/accents, semantic tokens (shadcn/ui compatible), light+dark modes. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a compact summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable; it opens the live system in the browser. Use export_design_system for full CSS/Tailwind output. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- generate_type_scale (Generate type scale) - Generate a fluid typographic scale (CSS clamp() between 375px and 1920px viewports) with 11 levels (Display, H1–H6, Body L/M/S, Caption), Fontshare fonts, line heights and letter spacing. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary table. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable. Use list_fonts to discover font slugs. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- generate_shape_tokens (Generate shape tokens) - Generate shape tokens — radii, shadows, borders, focus rings — in one of four visual styles: "paper" (classic surfaces with layered shadows), "glass" (liquid glass), "neomorph" (soft neumorphism), "neobrutalism" (hard offset shadows). Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- generate_icon_tokens (Generate icon tokens) - Pick an icon set and generate icon sizing tokens (xs–2xl + stroke width). Either select a specific set or state style preferences and get a recommendation. Available sets: material-outlined, material-filled, lucide, phosphor-regular, phosphor-bold, phosphor-thin, phosphor-fill, solar-linear, solar-bold, solar-broken, tabler-outline, tabler-filled, radix. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- generate_space_tokens (Generate spacing & layout tokens) - Generate spacing tokens (3xs–3xl), breakpoints, container widths, prose measure, and aspect ratios. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- get_design_system (Inspect design system) - Decode a standby.design URL (or raw hash) and return an overview of the full design system: color palette, type scale, spacing & layout, shape tokens, and icons — plus per-tool edit links. Always give the standby.design/system URL to the user — the link is the deliverable. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- export_design_system (Export design system code) - Generate the full token code for a design system URL in one format: "css" (CSS custom properties incl. semantic shadcn/ui-compatible tokens), "tailwind" (Tailwind v4 @theme), "design-tokens" (W3C DTCG JSON — typography & spacing), "llm-briefing" (Markdown brief for AI code generation), or "font-embed" (Fontshare <link> snippet). Optionally restrict to specific sections. Always give the returned standby.design/system URL to the user alongside the code — the link is the deliverable. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
- list_fonts (List available fonts) - List Fontshare font slugs usable in generate_type_scale (headingFont/bodyFont/monoFont), grouped by category. This is the bundled seed catalog — any valid Fontshare slug works even if not listed here. Endpoint: https://mcp.standby.design/mcp
