@brandsystem/mcp — Build

The authoring tool for the portable .brand runtime. Extract identity from websites, Figma, and PDFs. Compile governance, tokens, and voice rules into a single .brand/ directory. Deploy that runtime to Claude Design, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT — every surface that can read a governed brand. One artifact, every surface on brand.

What It Solves

AI tools default to category-average output because they have no brand context. Brand guidelines live in PDFs, Figma files, and people's heads — none of which AI tools can read at the moment of creation. The dominant failure mode isn't "broken output"; it's "correct but generic" — output that passes mechanical checks but reads like a competent generalist could have made it.

This MCP server is the authoring half of the "Two MCPs, One Brand" model. It extracts brand identity from live sources, compiles it into a .brand/ directory with structured governance (anti-patterns, proof-point status, voice rules, application rules) plus DTCG tokens, brand-runtime.json, and interaction-policy.json. That directory is the portable brand runtime — the artifact that travels with your brand from surface to surface.

• Claude Design reads the .brand/ directory natively when pointed at a governed repo
• Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and any other MCP client load brand-runtime.json at generation time
• @brandcode/mcp (the hosted Use MCP) serves the same runtime over HTTP for teams that want live reads at mcp.brandcode.studio/{slug}

With brand-runtime.json loaded, agent prompts collapse from 200-400 tokens of inline brand context to just the delta. First output is on-brand. No review bottleneck.

Quick Start

1. Add to your MCP config

Copy this into .mcp.json (Claude Code), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), or Windsurf MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandsystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@brandsystem/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2. Create your brand system

Tell your AI tool:

Run brand_start with client_name="Acme Corp", website_url="https://acme.com", and mode="auto"

That single command extracts colors, fonts, and logo from the website, escalates to rendered or deeper multi-page extraction when the cheap pass is weak, compiles DTCG tokens, generates design-synthesis.json + DESIGN.md, and generates a portable HTML brand report -- all in under 60 seconds.

3. What you get

.brand/
  brand.config.yaml          ← brand name, source URLs, session state
  core-identity.yaml         ← colors (with roles), fonts, logo specs
  tokens.json                ← DTCG design tokens
  brand-runtime.json         ← single-file brand context for any AI agent
  interaction-policy.json    ← anti-patterns, voice constraints, never-say words
  design-synthesis.json      ← spacing, radius, shadows, component signals
  DESIGN.md                  ← portable design brief (agent-readable)
  brand-report.html          ← visual report (paste into any AI chat)
  assets/logo/               ← extracted logo files (SVG/PNG)

Load brand-runtime.json into any sub-agent's context. First output is on-brand. No per-prompt boilerplate.

4. Use it

Run brand_write for a social-graphic about "Q3 product launch"

The AI now has your full brand context — colors, typography, logo, anti-patterns, voice rules — and generates on-brand content.

5. Go deeper (optional)

Session	What it adds	Command
1. Core Identity	Colors, fonts, logo, tokens	brand_start (done above)
2. Visual Identity	Composition, anti-patterns, illustration style	brand_deepen_identity
3. Messaging	Voice, tone, never-say words, brand story	brand_compile_messaging
4. Content Strategy	Personas, journey stages, themes	brand_build_personas

Each session enriches brand-runtime.json. Stop at any point — Session 1 alone is valuable.

6. Share with your team

Run brand_brandcode_connect to save on Brandcode Studio

Your brand persists on brandcode.studio. Teammates pull the same brand into their tools. One source of truth.

---

What It Does

Session 1: Core Identity -- Extract colors, fonts, and logo from a website or Figma file. Compile into DTCG tokens, a structured design synthesis layer, a portable DESIGN.md, and an HTML report.

Session 2: Visual Identity -- Define composition rules, pattern language, illustration style, and anti-patterns through a guided interview. Anti-patterns become enforceable compliance rules.

Session 3: Messaging -- Audit existing website voice, then define perspective, voice codex (tone, vocabulary, AI-ism detection), and brand story through a guided interview.

Session 4: Content Strategy -- Build buyer personas, journey stages, editorial themes, and a persona x stage messaging matrix.

Each session builds on the previous. Stop anywhere -- you get value immediately.

Two Ways To Use It

Local-first MCP flow -- Start from a website or Figma file, build a .brand/ directory locally, and use it immediately in chat or code tools with no account required.

Brandcode Studio-connected flow -- Connect an existing hosted brand from Brandcode Studio, pull the packaged brand into .brand/, and keep it synced over time.

Two MCPs, One Brand

The .brand runtime is the product. Two MCPs serve it:

@brandsystem/mcp — Build (this package). Author and compile the .brand runtime locally. Extract from websites, Figma, and PDFs. Compile governance (anti-patterns, proof-point status, voice rules, application rules) plus DTCG tokens, brand-runtime.json, and interaction-policy.json into a single .brand/ directory. Portable, versionable, ready to commit to any repo.

@brandcode/mcp — Use (hosted). Connect any MCP client to a live governed brand at https://mcp.brandcode.studio/{slug}. Agents fetch the current runtime, search approved knowledge, check drafts, retrieve assets, and leave feedback — no per-tool guideline copy, no stale snapshots. Tagline: "Your brand, live in every AI tool."

Same .brand runtime artifact. Two consumption paths. Build authors it; Use serves it.

Phase 0 for Brandcode MCP is locked in specs/brandcode-mcp-phase-0-lock.md (8-tool read/append-only surface, per-brand API keys, scope-based auth). Phase 1 staging scaffold is in this repo; the current sprint gate is still real MCP-client proof that one live-governance tool answers from https://mcp.staging.brandcode.studio/{slug}. Until the production launch, use @brandsystem/mcp for local build/sync, and Live Mode (brand_brandcode_live) for connected reads that refresh from the hosted runtime within a short cache TTL.

The Use MCP roadmap alignment lives in specs/brandcode-mcp-use-roadmap-alignment.md.

Claude Design integration

The .brand/ directory is engineered as a first-class input for Claude Design. Point Claude Design at a repo that contains .brand/ — governance YAML, narrative library, proof-point files, taste notes, DTCG tokens — and it grounds on the governed brand instead of improvising from uploaded assets. This is the Deploy path: author once with @brandsystem/mcp, then every Anthropic surface (Claude Design, Claude Code, Chat via compile packs) consumes the same runtime.

Tool Flow

Tools auto-chain -- each tool's response tells the LLM what to run next:

Session 1: brand_start → brand_extract_web or brand_extract_visual or brand_extract_site → brand_generate_designmd → brand_compile → brand_clarify → brand_report
Session 2: brand_deepen_identity (interview x 6) → brand_compile (generates VIM)
Session 3: brand_extract_messaging → brand_compile_messaging (interview x 3) → brand_write
Session 4: brand_build_personas → brand_build_journey → brand_build_themes → brand_build_matrix

brand_status can be called at any point. brand_preflight runs after any content generation.

CLI Connector Commands

The npm package also ships a CLI entrypoint for the hosted-brand connector:

npx @brandsystem/mcp brandcode connect https://brandcode.studio/start/brands/pendium
npx @brandsystem/mcp brandcode sync
npx @brandsystem/mcp brandcode status

For protected hosted brands, add --share-token=TOKEN.

Platform Setup

Claude Code

Create .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandsystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@brandsystem/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandsystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@brandsystem/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Create ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandsystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@brandsystem/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brandsystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@brandsystem/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Chat (no MCP)

If you are using Claude Chat without MCP support:

1. Run the pipeline in a code environment first to generate brand-report.html
2. Upload the HTML file to your Claude Chat conversation
3. Say: "Use this as my brand guidelines for everything we create"

The report HTML is self-contained and works as a standalone brand reference in any AI tool.

Troubleshooting

"No .brand/ directory found"

Every tool except brand_start, brand_init, and brand_feedback requires a .brand/ directory. Run brand_start first.

If you are using the hosted-brand flow instead of local extraction, brand_brandcode_connect also scaffolds .brand/ automatically on first connect.

Empty extraction (no colors or fonts found)

This usually means the website loads CSS dynamically via JavaScript. brand_extract_web only parses static CSS from <style> blocks and linked stylesheets. Solutions:

• Run brand_extract_visual to analyze a single rendered page with headless Chrome and computed styles
• Run brand_extract_site to sample representative pages across desktop and mobile and save extraction-evidence.json
• Run brand_generate_designmd after extraction or manual edits to regenerate design-synthesis.json and DESIGN.md
• Try a different page that uses more inline/linked CSS (e.g., the homepage, a blog post)
• Use Figma extraction (brand_extract_figma) for higher accuracy
• Set values manually using brand_clarify after extraction

brand_start in mode='auto' already tries this visual fallback when extraction quality is low and Chrome/Chromium is available, then generates design-synthesis.json and DESIGN.md from the best available evidence.

Figma extraction fails

brand_extract_figma doesn't connect to Figma directly. It works in two phases:

1. Plan returns instructions for what data to fetch (variables, styles, logo)
2. Ingest processes data you pass back from the Figma MCP tools

Make sure you have a separate Figma MCP server connected (e.g., @anthropics/figma-mcp) and pass the fetched data to brand_extract_figma in ingest mode.

Logo not detected

Web extraction looks for <img>, <svg>, and <link rel="icon"> elements. If your logo is rendered via JavaScript or embedded as a CSS background, use brand_set_logo to add it manually with SVG markup, a URL, or a data URI.

"Response size exceeds 5K target" (console warning)

This is a soft warning, not an error. Some tools (brand_write, brand_deepen_identity) return rich conversation guides that exceed 5K characters. The hard limit is 50K, which triggers truncation.

Server won't start

# Verify Node.js >= 18
node --version

# Test the server manually
npx @brandsystem/mcp

# Check for port conflicts (stdio transport shouldn't have any)
# The server uses stdio, not HTTP -- it reads from stdin and writes to stdout

Reporting feedback

Use brand_feedback to report bugs, friction, or ideas:

brand_feedback with category="bug", summary="Logo SVG has empty gradient stops",
  detail="The extractor found the SVG structure but <linearGradient> stops have no
  stop-color attributes. Logo renders as a black rectangle.",
  tool_name="brand_extract_web", severity="degrades_experience"

For agent telemetry, use category="agent_signal" with signal, tool_used, and signal_context. Brand context is auto-populated from .brand/config.

---

How It Works

Confidence Scoring

Every extracted value carries a confidence level:

Level	Meaning	Token Behavior
confirmed	Human-verified	Included in tokens
high	Strong signal (e.g., Figma variable, CSS custom property named --brand-primary)	Included in tokens
medium	Reasonable inference (e.g., most-frequent chromatic color in CSS)	Included in tokens
low	Weak signal (e.g., color appears once in a generic property)	Excluded from tokens, added to needs-clarification.yaml

Source Precedence

When the same brand element is found in multiple sources, the higher-precedence source wins:

figma > manual > web

A Figma-sourced primary color will replace a web-extracted one. A manually confirmed value overrides both automated sources. Within the same source, higher confidence wins.

Web Extraction

brand_extract_web fetches the target URL and:

1. Parses all <style> blocks and up to 5 linked stylesheets
2. Extracts color values from CSS properties and custom properties
3. Infers color roles from property names (e.g., --primary, --brand-accent)
4. Promotes the most-frequent chromatic color to "primary" if no explicit primary is found
5. Extracts font families and ranks by frequency
6. Finds logo candidates from <img>, <svg>, and <link rel="icon"> elements
7. Downloads and embeds logos as inline SVG or base64 data URIs

Visual Extraction

brand_extract_visual launches headless Chrome against the target URL and:

1. Captures a 2x DPR screenshot of the rendered page
2. Extracts computed styles from semantic elements such as body, header, hero, links, cards, and buttons
3. Reads CSS custom properties from :root
4. Infers likely color roles from visual context (for example, button background → primary)
5. Returns the screenshot as an MCP image block so the calling agent can do qualitative visual analysis

This is the fallback path for JS-rendered apps and page builders where static CSS parsing misses key brand signals.

Deep Site Extraction

brand_extract_site extends the rendered-path beyond the homepage:

1. Discovers representative pages on the same domain
2. Captures desktop and mobile screenshots for each selected page
3. Samples multiple instances of buttons, cards, links, inputs, sections, and other components
4. Persists the results to .brand/extraction-evidence.json
5. Feeds that evidence into brand_generate_designmd / brand_compile to produce .brand/design-synthesis.json and .brand/DESIGN.md
6. Merges additional colors and fonts back into core-identity.yaml when merge=true

Use this when the homepage is not enough to understand the brand system, or when you want richer evidence before token compilation.

Figma Extraction

brand_extract_figma works in two steps to bridge between the Figma MCP and brandsystem:

1. Plan mode -- Returns specific instructions for what data to fetch from Figma (variables, text styles, logo components)
2. Ingest mode -- Processes the collected Figma data, maps variable names to roles, and merges into core-identity.yaml at high confidence

DTCG Token Compilation

brand_compile transforms core-identity.yaml into Design Tokens Community Group format:

• Colors become $type: "color" tokens keyed by role
• Typography becomes grouped tokens with fontFamily, dimension (size), and fontWeight entries
• Spacing becomes dimension tokens with scale values
• Each token includes $extensions["com.brandsystem"] with source and confidence metadata
• Only values with medium or higher confidence are included

The Bigger Picture

Four verbs stack — Build, Use, Evolve, Deploy. @brandsystem/mcp owns Build. The .brand runtime is what moves between them.

 Build                    Use                        Deploy

                     taste compilation,
                     memory wall)

Build — this package. Extract identity. Compile governance. Produce a .brand/ directory.

Use — @brandcode/mcp hosted at mcp.brandcode.studio/{slug}. Any MCP client fetches the live governed brand.

Evolve — Brandcode Studio. Taste notes graduate from memory to formal governance. Anti-patterns accumulate. The runtime sharpens with every production cycle.

Deploy — the governed .brand repo travels with you. Point Claude Design at it. Compile packs for Claude Code, Chat, Gemini, NotebookLM. Every surface consumes the same runtime.

Progressive Depth

Each stage builds on the previous. Stop anywhere — you get value immediately.

Stage	What You Get	How
1. Free scan	Brand tokens + DESIGN.md + HTML report with platform setup guides	brand_start (auto) or brand_extract_web / brand_extract_visual / brand_extract_site → brand_generate_designmd → brand_compile → brand_report
2. MCP depth	Figma extraction, clarification, full audit	Session 1 with brand_extract_figma + brand_clarify
3. Visual identity	Composition rules, patterns, anti-patterns, VIM	Session 2: brand_deepen_identity → brand_compile
4. Core messaging	Voice profile, perspective, brand story	Session 3: brand_extract_messaging → brand_compile_messaging
5. Studio sync	Hosted package pull, sync history, shared distribution	brand_brandcode_connect → brand_brandcode_sync → brand_brandcode_live for Live Mode reads
6. Live Use MCP	Agents anywhere hit mcp.brandcode.studio/{slug} for current runtime, knowledge search, draft checks, asset fetch	@brandcode/mcp connects once; reads stay fresh across agent sessions
7. Deploy to Claude Design	Claude Design grounds on the .brand/ directory natively — governance, narratives, proof points, taste notes all load without translation	Point Claude Design at a repo containing .brand/; output is on-brand from the first generation

Stages 1–4 are the standalone local MCP flow. Open source, fully portable, no account required.

Stages 5–7 are the Deploy path — where the .brand runtime becomes shared, served live, and consumed by every generation surface. Available through Brandcode Studio and Column Five Media.
