Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

Other tools in Refero Design MCP (6)

refero_design_md

Render a style as an agent-friendly DESIGN.md (frontmatter, north star, color table, dos/donts). Optionally writes to disk.

refero_facets

What's actually in the catalog — ranked font stacks, color names, theme counts. Call it before guessing search terms: there is no tag taxonomy, so invented tags match nothing, but every value this returns is already in the search index and can be passed straight to referosearch.

refero_get

Fetch the full design system for one style. Accepts a uuid, hostname (e.g. cursor.com), or site name (e.g. "Cursor").

refero_list

Browse the local catalog mirror with optional theme/tag filters. Stably ordered.

refero_search

Natural-language vibe search across the catalog. Embeddings if OPENAIAPIKEY is set, BM25-lite fallback if not.

refero_similar

Refero's own "similar styles" ranking for a given style. Free recommendations from the upstream.
