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

Before you install

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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 gradients https://www.gradients.studio/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": {
    "gradients": {
      "url": "https://www.gradients.studio/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": {
    "gradients": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.gradients.studio/mcp",
      "headers": {

Common questions

Is Gradients Studio 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?

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 19 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, EmbeddedCI BenchPod

Gradients Studio MCP

Gradient backgrounds for coding agents. Describe the background in plain words ("dark, grainy, a bit like Linear") and your agent previews it, adjusts it, and drops the finished file into your repo at the exact size the layout needs: a website hero, an OG image, a launch post, a slide.

Server: https://www.gradients.studio/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, stateless)
No key to start: previews, palettes and suggestions work without an account.
Exports: exact-size files with a download URL need a free API key; 5 free a month, unlimited on Pro.
Docs: https://www.gradients.studio/mcp · agent install guide: llms-install.md

This repository holds the server's public listing files and docs only. The service itself is hosted; there is nothing to build or run.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add gradients --transport http https://www.gradients.studio/mcp

Or as a plugin, which adds a skill that tells Claude when to reach for it:

/plugin marketplace add anusandhan/gradients-studio-mcp

/plugin install gradients-studio@gradients-studio

Cursor: Add to Cursor, or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "gradients": { "url": "https://www.gradients.studio/mcp" } } }

Codex

codex mcp add gradients --url https://www.gradients.studio/mcp

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"gradients","type":"http","url":"https://www.gradients.studio/mcp"}'

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/anusandhan/gradients-studio-mcp

Windsurf, Cline, Claude Desktop and others: add a remote server named gradients with the URL above. Per-client details are in llms-install.md.

Add a key for exports

Create a key at https://www.gradients.studio/app?keys=1 (sign in, then account menu → API keys). It is shown once.
Send it as Authorization: Bearer :

claude mcp remove gradients

claude mcp add gradients --transport http https://www.gradients.studio/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer "

In JSON configs, add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } next to "url". With the Claude Code plugin, set GRADIENTS_STUDIO_KEY in your environment instead.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Key
`suggest_settings`	Turns a brief ("dark, premium fintech hero, a bit retro") into two or three starting settings. Understands jobs, moods, colors, product names, styles and finishes.	No
`list_palettes`	The studio's sixteen palettes, palettes behind sites people admire (Linear, Stripe, Raycast…), and six tuned starting points for common jobs. Your saved palettes too, with a key.	No
`render_gradient`	Renders with every dial the studio has: blobs, stripes, clouds or rays; grain; pixel and dither finishes; shape overlays or your logo SVG. Without `size`: a free 960px preview inline. With `size`: an exact-size export and a download URL valid for 24 hours.	Only for `size`

Every result includes the settings (send them back to iterate) and a studio link to take over in the browser. Asking for the same export again within 24 hours returns the same URL and costs nothing.

Example prompts

"Add a dark, grainy hero background to the landing page, 2560×1440, something like Linear."
"Make a 1200×630 OG image background in our brand colors from tailwind.config.ts."
"Give the pricing section a soft pastel gradient background; preview three options first."
"Make a LinkedIn launch post background, 1080×1350, with our logo as a subtle outline."
"Generate a retro pixel-finish wallpaper for the 404 page."

What it makes

Website hero	Launch post	Deck slide

Limits

Without a key: 30 calls a minute and 300 a day per address.
With a key: previews are free; sized exports use the account's monthly pool (5 free, unlimited on Pro), with a cap of 200 sized exports a day on every plan.
Pixel and dither finishes preview free and export on Pro.
