dia-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI agents to find, index, and analyze the best UI/UX visual inspiration as images from across the web.

The UX Inspo Engine is designed to help you search for UI/UX inspiration quickly and build a local pattern index. Instead of giving you code to copy, it provides visual inspiration alongside design reasoning (why it works, what pattern it uses, what principle it demonstrates).

Built with FastMCP, dia-mcp connects LLM agents directly with tools like Firecrawl and TinyFish to search, screenshot, and analyze real shipped products and design platforms.

The server provides several tools that AI agents can use:

• `find_inspo`: 🎨 Find the best UI/UX inspiration images for any design need.
• `screenshot_live_app`: 📸 Capture high-quality screenshots of any live application.
• `dig_platform`: 🕵️ Deep-dive into design platforms like Mobbin, Refero, or Godly using an AI agent.
• `compare_uis`: ⚖️ Screenshot and compare multiple live products side-by-side.
• `extract_design_dna`: 🧬 Extract design tokens, color palettes, and typography from any site.
• `walk_flow`: 🚶 Walk through a real multi-step UI flow and document every step.
• `site_pattern_hunt`: 🏹 Smartly hunt for UI/UX patterns across a whole website.
• `index_pattern`: 💾 Save a UI/UX pattern to the persistent Research Index.
• `index_flow`: 🔬 Walk through and index an entire multi-page flow.
• `search_index`: 🔎 Search your accumulated UI/UX Research Index.

It also includes prompts like inspo_hunt to kick off visual research sessions.
