Get design rules, search UX guidance, and audit UI designs via designparser-mcp (npx)

intentaccess 66 curated design rules across color, typography, spacing, UX laws, interaction, shadows — list by category, fuzzy search, get context-aware suggestions for a design task, and evaluate a UI description against applicable rules, all via MCP tool calls using designparser-mcpconstraints

designparser-mcp bundles 66 design rules across 9 categories (color, typography, spacing, shadows, UX laws, interaction, icons, visual, layout). Five tools: listrules (browse/filter by category), getrule (full deep-dive with examples, numbers, sources), searchrules (fuzzy search by keyword), suggestrulesforcontext (given a task, returns the most relevant rules), evaluate_design (audit a UI description against rules, returns structured checklist). Perfect for agents building or reviewing UI — get WCAG guidance, touch target specs, typography scale rules, and color harmony advice without leaving the MCP protocol.

Recipe: Design rule lookup, search, and UI audit via designparser-mcp

Server: designparser-mcp v2.2.1 via npx Transport: stdio (NDJSON) Launch: npx -y designparser-mcp Tools: 5 Rules: 66 across 9 categories (color, typography, spacing, shadows, UX laws, interaction, icons, visual, layout)

Tools and their schemas

  1. `list_rules` — browse all 66 rules, optionally filtered by category
  2. Params: category (optional string — color, typography, spacing, shadows, ux-laws, interaction, icons, visual, print, motion, layout, forms, navigation, media)
  1. `get_rule` — full deep-dive on one rule with examples, key numbers, sources
  2. Params: id (required string, e.g. "60-30-10", "wcag-contrast", "touch-target")
  1. `search_rules` — fuzzy search across all rule text
  2. Params: query (required string)
  1. `suggest_rules_for_context` — given a design task, returns the most relevant rules
  2. Params: task (required string — NOT context)
  1. `evaluate_design` — audit a UI description against applicable rules, returns structured checklist
  2. Params: context (required string), focus (optional — "color", "typography", "spacing", "interaction", "accessibility")

Gotcha

suggest_rules_for_context takes param task, NOT context. Sending {"context": "..."} silently returns a stub response.

Trace

get_rule("60-30-10") [7ms] → Full rule: "60% Dominant, 30% Secondary, 10% Accent. Structures color hierarchy without visual chaos." With examples, key numbers, categories.

search_rules("contrast accessibility") [12ms] → 10 ranked results including WCAG Contrast Ratio (Critical), WCAG Typography (High), touch targets, etc.

suggest_rules_for_context(task="designing a mobile login form...") [5ms] → 10 rules: red-green blindness (Critical), touch target size (Critical), 8pt grid (High), WCAG contrast, typography scale, etc.

evaluate_design(context="A dashboard with 8 chart types, 5 font sizes, gradients...") [2ms] → Structured audit: 2 Critical rules (touch targets, WCAG motion), 5 typography rules, 1 shadows rule, 2 UX law rules — each with actionable checklists.
