What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add designmind -- npx -y @reneturcios/designmind mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "designmind": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/designmind",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Designmind safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 days 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, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

designmind

Local design knowledge as an MCP server and CLI: principles, UI patterns, checklists, design-system tokens, brand and content systems, research methods, metrics frameworks, and the GOV.UK Service Standard — all served from a curated catalogue that ships with the package. No network, no API key, no state.

designmind is a labelled core subset (20 tools) rebuilt from the public tool spec of a 111-tool design-knowledge server. The tools that audit live sites, grab assets, run a taste engine or a creative studio, maintain a decision graph, or run generation jobs are intentionally not reproduced; what is here is the read-only knowledge core.

What the catalogue contains

Original prose written for this rebuild, covering:

Principles — Nielsen's ten heuristics, Laws of UX (Fitts, Hick, Jakob, Miller, Doherty, Von Restorff, Peak-End), Gestalt principles, WCAG AA basics (contrast, focus, labels, not colour alone), and typography, colour-role and spacing-scale rules.
UI patterns and checklists — dashboards, forms, navigation, onboarding, search, checkout, empty states, modals, tables and settings, each with guidance and pitfalls.
Design systems — token sets for Material, Carbon, Polaris, Atlassian and GOV.UK, which can be merged with compose_system (later sources win; every conflict is listed, never hidden).
Brand and content systems — brand guidance plus voice and tone systems for GOV.UK, Polaris, Atlassian and conversational UI, content principles, and content patterns (error messages, empty states, confirmations, help text, notifications, labels).
Strategy and methods — business strategy topics, the D4D (Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver) framework with templates, research methods, HEART / AARRR / North Star / RICE / OKR, and service patterns with the 14-point GOV.UK Service Standard.

Coverage differs from the original server's catalogue — this is a fresh local curation, not a copy of its content.
