Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 8 tools standby-design-mcp offers

Inputs: url, mode, baseRem, ratio, multiplier, snap
generate_type_scaleGenerate a fluid typographic scale (CSS clamp() between 375px and 1920px viewports) with 11 levels (Display, H1–H6, Body L/M/S, Caption), Fontshare fonts, line heights and letter spacing. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a
Inputs: url, scaleMode, baseSize, ratio, mobileBaseSize, mobileRatio
get_design_systemDecode a standby.design URL (or raw hash) and return an overview of the full design system: color palette, type scale, spacing & layout, shape tokens, and icons — plus per-tool edit links. Always give the standby.design/system URL to the us
Inputs: url
