You set up and run a focused color tools MCP server that handles color format conversions, palette and gradient generation, accessibility checks, and exports for CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, and JSON. It’s designed to be consumed by MCP-compatible clients and delivers fast, precise color operations with practical visualization and design-system support.

How to use

You connect to the color MCP server using a client that supports the Model Context Protocol. The server offers a suite of color tools you can call through the MCP interface, including color conversion, palette generation, gradient creation, contrast checking, and export utilities. Use the client to discover available tools, then execute a specific tool by name with the required parameters. Results will include the converted color, any visualizations, and export-ready outputs.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting:

node --version
npm --version

Install dependencies for the project and prepare the build.

npm install

Build the project for development and production readiness.

npm run build

Run in development mode to start local testing and iteration.

npm run dev

Run tests to ensure correctness and coverage.

npm test

Configuration and usage notes

The color MCP server is intended to be instantiated as a local (stdio) server. You run it with the Node runtime and point to the compiled entry point.

# Example local server start (stdio)
node path/to/mcp-color-server/dist/index.js

Deployment and runtime options

The server supports lightweight deployment and can be integrated into your existing MCP client configuration. Typical usage is to run the server locally in your development or CI environment and expose it to your MCP client through the standard MCP protocol.

Security and reliability

Security features include input validation for color formats, sanitization of generated content, rate limiting for expensive operations, and structured logging for auditability. Follow general best practices: run with minimal privileges, place behind an HTTPS-enabled reverse proxy, and monitor resource usage and error rates.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter performance issues, verify that the server is running with sufficient CPU and memory. Check the logs for validation errors or timeouts, and ensure the MCP client is correctly configured to reach the local stdio server. For visualization or export outputs, confirm the relevant tool was called and that required parameters were provided.
