MCP (HTTP): https://kage.design/mcp — no keyKage (by Chris Gregori)
Use it for: design references beyond this catalog — "how do fintech pricing pages look", "a site like Linear
for a dental clinic", "dark developer-tool heroes". It complements inspiration/ (Owen's own saved sites) and
plan_ui: Kage shows how real products solved a section; design-infra decides what to build and installs it.
Don't use it for: code (there is none — prompts and screenshots only) or copying a product's look wholesale.

Gotchas
- Never bulk-download — no loops over
get_designto mirror the library; the terms forbid scraping and Kage blocks offenders. Fetch the handful of designs you need. - Screenshots are other companies' work: use them for patterns and feel, then build with our design system and catalog — don't reproduce logos, copy or distinctive brand assets.
- Analyses and prompts are AI-generated and can be wrong or stale.
