PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

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

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http illos https://illos.dev/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "illos": {
      "url": "https://illos.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "illos": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://illos.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Optional. Your Illos Pro key as "Bearer illos_..." unlocks Pro illustrations; leave it out for the free library.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • find_illustrations

    Find animated SVG illustrations from Illos.dev for a website or app. Use it first, when a hero, feature section, empty state, docs page, onboarding or status screen needs a picture instead of stock art, an emoji or an empty space; describe what the section explains, not keywords.

  • get_illustration

    Get the install details for one Illos illustration by its id. Use it after find_illustrations, once you have picked an id and need to add it; to search, use find_illustrations instead. A free illustration returns the React install command (shadcn), the SVG file's address for anyt

  • list_themes

    List the four Illos themes (Shader, HUD, Isometric, Interface), always in that order, with what each looks like, its page, how many illustrations it has and how many of those are free. Use it before find_illustrations when a site has no Illos theme yet, to pick one theme for the

Common questions

Is Illos illustrations 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Symantec Cloud DLP AIops

Illos skills

Animated SVG illustrations for your website or app, added by your coding agent. This repo has a free skill and the Illos MCP server, packaged for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any agent that reads SKILL.md folders.

Illos.dev has 158 animated illustrations in four themes (Shader, HUD, Isometric and Interface), each in light and dark. 65 are free for commercial use, with no account and no credit.

What it does

Ask your agent for a picture where a page needs one:

Add an illustration to the empty notifications screen.

Use Illos Isometric illustrations for the feature sections on the home page.

The illos-library skill picks one theme for the whole site, finds the illustration that explains each section, and adds it: with one npx shadcn command in a React project, or as an SVG file anywhere else.

Install

Claude Code (the skill and the MCP server):

/plugin marketplace add navedux/illos-skills

/plugin install illos@illos-dev

Any agent, with the skills CLI (skills.sh):

npx skills add navedux/illos-skills

Cursor: open Customize, From GitHub Repository, and paste this repo's URL. Or copy skills/illos-library into .cursor/skills/.

Codex: copy skills/illos-library into .agents/skills/ in your project, or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project.

The MCP server on its own

https://illos.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in) gives any MCP client three tools: find_illustrations, get_illustration and list_themes.

claude mcp add --transport http illos https://illos.dev/mcp

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "illos": { "url": "https://illos.dev/mcp" } } }

New illustrations in the same style

When the library doesn't have what a page needs, the Illos Pro skills teach your agent a theme's rules, so it can draw new illustrations that match and check each one. They come with Illos Pro.

Licence

The skill and the files in this repo: MIT. The illustrations: illos.dev/license. Free ones need no credit.
