Design MCP server

Design is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 5 tools, among them describe_font, generate_color_scheme, icons_instructions. It answers at https://design.googleapis.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, succeeded.

Questions about Design

Is there an official Design MCP server?

Yes. It is published by googleapis.com and served from design.googleapis.com, the vendor's own domain: https://design.googleapis.com/mcp.

How many tools does Design have?

5, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 31 August 2026: describe_font, generate_color_scheme, icons_instructions, search_fonts, search_icons.

It answered our last check on 18 October 2026 in 111 ms. Over 10 checks since 5 September 2026 it answered 10.

How do I add Design to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://design.googleapis.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does Design need an API key?

It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.

Where this comes from

Publisher: com.googleapis.design. Endpoint host: design.googleapis.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:com.googleapis.design:mcp:mcp. First indexed 31 August 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
