AI-Optimized Query Processing

The get_design_system tool uses intelligent query processing optimized for AI model consumers:

Position-Weighted Intent Classification

Queries are processed left-to-right with multi-word phrase priority:

1. Multi-word phrases first: "landing page", "admin panel", "hero section" have higher priority
2. Then single words: "dashboard", "landing", "analytics"
3. Position matters: Earlier keywords get higher confidence (5% penalty per word position)

Examples:

Query	Detected Intent	Reason
"SaaS landing page dashboard"	landing	"landing page" phrase found
"dashboard for SaaS landing"	dashboard	"dashboard" is first
"admin panel with hero section"	dashboard	"admin panel" phrase beats "hero"
"website for fintech startup"	landing	"website" maps to landing

AI-Optimized Output Structure

The _meta field provides transparency for AI models:

{
  "_meta": {
    "query_interpretation": "SaaS landing page with glassmorphism (dark mode)",
    "detected_intent": "landing",
    "intent_confidence": 0.85,
    "matched_keyword": "landing page",
    "keyword_position": 1,
    "warnings": []
  }
}

Dark Mode Color Parsing

When mode: "dark", the tool:

1. Searches for dark-mode compatible palettes
2. Parses Dark_Mode_Colors JSON from the database
3. Replaces palette colors with dark mode equivalents
4. Includes both light and dark mode palettes in response

Code-Ready Snippets

Colors include ready-to-paste code:

{
  "colors": {
    "css_variables": "--primary: #0066FF; --background: #0A0E14; --text: #E5E5E5;",
    "tailwind_config": "colors: { primary: '#0066FF', ... }"
  }
}

Layout Source Indicator

The layout.source field tells AI models where the layout recommendation came from:

• "landing" - From landing page patterns database
• "dashboard" - From product's dashboard style recommendation

🛠️ Development

Build Commands

# Build TypeScript to JavaScript
npm run build

# Development mode with hot reload
npm run dev

# Start production server (stdio mode)
npm start

# Start HTTP server for testing
npm run start:http

Testing

# Run test suite
npm test

HTTP Mode for Testing

The server can run in HTTP mode for testing without MCP clients:

# Start HTTP server on port 3456
PORT=3456 npm run start:http

Then test with curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3456/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_colors","arguments":{"query":"fintech"}},"id":1}'
