Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Identity Forge for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "identityforge": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "identityforge", "mcp" ], "env": { "IDENTITYFORGE_API_KEY": "your-value" } } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) For IDENTITYFORGE_API_KEY, leave "your-value" in place and tell me to paste the real value myself into the file or the app’s field. Never ask me to type a key in chat. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Identity Forge tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is Identity Forge safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: IDENTITYFORGE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.4.6) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Identity Forge MCP

Design systems, brand naming, and domain research for coding agents.

For people · For agents · MCP tools · CLI reference · Docs

Free to use. 69 of 79 design kits are free, with all 6 export formats, the CLI, the MCP server, and the API. No account required. Pro unlocks 10 additional kits, 1,000 AI generations/month, and advanced features.

For people

Identity Forge gives a coding agent a complete visual system before it starts building. Choose a design kit yourself, or let the agent rank the catalog against your product and the mood you want. Each kit includes typography, semantic color tokens, layout, motifs, dos and don'ts, and a DESIGN.md the agent can build from.

The agent can export the kit as CSS, Tailwind v3 or v4, shadcn registry data, DTCG tokens, or JSON, then apply it with conflict protection. Brand naming, domain research, and shareable client projects live in the same workflow.

Public Free kits work without an account. Browse the design kits or read how the agent flow works before installing anything.

Watch it work

The three-minute lifecycle film follows a design system from the first choice through product imagery, an ecommerce rebuild, a later brand update, an older-site rebuild, and team review. The Aubade storefront and Shiftly rebuild are complete one-shot agent builds from real Identity Forge design systems. The Commonkeep review uses synthetic showcase data in the real review experience.

Download the full-resolution 1080p WebM.

For agents

Install the local MCP server into the client you use:

npx --yes identityforge@latest install --client claude-code   # Claude Code

npx --yes identityforge@latest install --client cursor # Cursor npx --yes identityforge@latest install --client vscode # VS Code / Copilot npx --yes identityforge@latest install --client codex # Codex

Also supported: gemini, opencode, pi. Every client runs the same local stdio server, and install merges into your existing config rather than replacing it. Config paths for all seven are in Install into an agent.

Public Free kits work immediately, without a key. Tell your agent:

Use Identity Forge to pick a theme that fits this product, apply it, and follow the DESIGN.md.

npx --yes identityforge@latest login

No account yet? In the browser, sign up, complete the security check, select Send verification email, and open its link. Then select Confirm email and continue, approve the resumed authorization, and the CLI receives the key automatically.

Use-case discovery

Every use-case lane has two checks. First, the kit's authored audience or bestFor must name that kind of product. Then concrete token measurements such as text contrast, chart-series distinctness, and information density rank the eligible kits. Visual tags help search but do not establish product fit. A high technical score cannot put an unrelated kit into a lane. The per-lane prose justification is switched off catalogue-wide pending re-enrichment, so a score arrives without a sentence explaining it.

list_themes({ use: "data-dashboard" }) returns kits authored for dashboards, ordered by their measured dashboard fit.
list_themes({ q: "calm fintech dashboard" }) runs a synonym-aware ranked search across moods, industries, and use cases.
search_themes returns the whole catalog unranked so the agent can weigh a subtle brief itself.

Use the lane to shortlist and the order to compare. Do not turn the score into an explanation: it ranks technical fit after authored intent, but does not say why the kit suits a particular brief.

For the data lanes there is a better answer than the score. Every kit summary carries a charts block measured on the mode the kit ships in: minDeltaE and cvdMinDeltaE (the closest pair of series colors, plain and under colorblind simulation), distinct, hueFamilies, severityHeadroom (how close any series comes to the destructive, warning and success roles — 0 means a category color IS a status color), sequentialReady, and designed, which is false when the kit defines no chart slots and the five were cycled from its brand roles. Those are measurements, so unlike the fitness score they can be stated to a user as the reason for a recommendation.

Use-case lanes: data-dashboard, admin-internal-tool, saas-marketing, landing-page, ecommerce-store, portfolio, editorial-blog, docs-knowledge-base, mobile-app, business-services, community-social, ai-agent-chat.

The same discovery runs the kit gallery and the HTTP API (GET /api/v1/kits?use=…&q=…, see llms.txt).

Install into an agent

install --client writes the MCP server config for that agent, merging into any existing config:

Client	`--client`	Config file
Claude Code	`claude-code`	`.mcp.json`
Cursor	`cursor`	`.cursor/mcp.json`
Codex	`codex`	`~/.codex/config.toml`
Gemini CLI	`gemini`	`.gemini/settings.json`
VS Code / Copilot	`vscode`	`.vscode/mcp.json`
opencode	`opencode`	`opencode.json`
Pi	`pi`	`.pi/agent/mcp.json`

All of them run the same local stdio server via npx -y identityforge@latest mcp. After installation, identityforge doctor --client checks that the client points at the rolling package and initializes the package's MCP server without calling the Identity Forge API or spending quota.

Install the agent plugin and skill

The repository also bundles the MCP server with an Agent Skill that tells the agent when to use Identity Forge, how free and authenticated access differ, and how to guide a human through Send verification email before the pending browser authorization resumes.

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add KasayoDotCom/identityforge-mcp

claude plugin install identity-forge@identity-forge

GitHub Copilot CLI:

copilot plugin marketplace add KasayoDotCom/identityforge-mcp

copilot plugin install identity-forge@identity-forge

Codex and other Agent Skills-compatible clients:

npx skills add KasayoDotCom/identityforge-mcp

Cursor metadata is included for directory distribution. Until it is listed there, use the install --client cursor command above to connect the same MCP server.

MCP tools

Once connected, your agent gets 63 tools. Browsing free kits needs no key; scopes are noted where they apply.

Find a design kit

list_themes: browse the catalog as compact summaries. Rank by use-case lane with use, run ranked search with q, page with offset, sort by featured, popular, recent, name, or fit.
search_themes: return the whole catalog unranked, for briefs too subtle to rank against a lane.
similar_themes: given a kit slug, find neighbours by palette, tags, and audience.
match_palette: given existing brand colors, rank kits by perceptual color distance.

Choose typography outside a kit

A kit already names its heading, body, and mono faces. These two answer the cases where it does not.

search_fonts: browse the Google Fonts catalog by name or category, or pass like with a family you already have to find faces that resemble it. Metadata only, and like reads no letterform, so confirm the look before promising it.
suggest_font_pairings: the curated heading/body/mono table, or what goes beside one family the user is committed to.

Read and apply one

get_design_md: fetch a kit's DESIGN.md, the full design brief.
get_tokens: fetch tokens as dtcg, css, tailwind-v3, tailwind-v4, shadcn-registry, or json.
apply_theme: write DESIGN.md, a tokens file, and an identityforge.json stamp into the project. It refuses rather than overwriting a file it did not write, see below.

What `apply` writes, and what it will not overwrite

apply_theme (and identityforge apply) writes three files into the target directory:

Identity Forge requests carry one random reference that lasts only for the current CLI or MCP process. A local apply reports one bounded result: files written, artifacts already current, a safe conflict refusal, or the stage where it failed. The report contains counts and classifications, never local paths or error prose. Running as an MCP server, requests also carry the client name your editor or agent already sends in the MCP handshake (claude-code, cursor-vscode, codex), so usage can be attributed to a product rather than to nothing. None of this includes paths, filenames, prompts, file contents, repository names, exception text, or a persistent installation identifier. Set IDENTITYFORGE_TELEMETRY=0 to omit the process reference and local outcome reports; ordinary API requests still appear in server access logs.

File	What it is
`DESIGN.md`	the design brief the agent builds from
`.css` / `.json` / `.js`	the tokens, named for the format you asked for
`identityforge.json`	the stamp: which kit was applied, at which version, and a SHA-256 of every file written

The stamp belongs to your repository, not to the kit. It records what this codebase was built against, which is a fact the server cannot know, so commit it. It is also what makes applying safe: before writing anything, apply compares what is on disk against the hashes in the stamp.

A file that does not exist gets created.
A file whose content already matches the kit is left alone.
A file the last apply wrote, still byte-identical, is updated when the kit has moved.
A file that is not recorded in the stamp, for example a DESIGN.md you wrote yourself, or one that changed since it was written, is a conflict.

On a conflict the default is to write nothing at all, name every conflicting file, and exit non-zero. Nothing is written until every file is planned, so a failed fetch cannot leave the directory half applied.

identityforge apply acid-signal-black --preview   # plan only, writes nothing

identityforge apply acid-signal-black # refuses if anything conflicts identityforge apply acid-signal-black --force # overwrites, content is lost

--force is destructive and unrecoverable: the current content of the conflicting files is gone, and the report names each one. Preview first, show the person what would change, and let them decide.

What the stamp records, and how a later apply reads it

"stampVersion": 1, // shape of this file, so a reader never has to guess "designMdContract"
