Platform

Give your agent taste.

Your agent can already write the code. design.live gives it the missing half — what a brand actually is, how strong products actually behave, and a plan it can execute. One endpoint, one key, twelve tools.

Connect in one command

claude mcp add --transport http design-live https://design.live/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DESIGN_LIVE_API_KEY"

Get an API key Open the dashboard

Setup

Point your agent at one endpoint.

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP and sends a bearer header works. Keep the key in the environment — never in a committed config file.

bash · terminal

claude mcp add --transport http design-live https://design.live/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DESIGN_LIVE_API_KEY"

Adds the MCP to the current project. Run /mcp afterwards to confirm design-live is connected.

Twelve tools

What your agent can ask for.

The brand layer is free. Ranked product evidence, workflows, comparison, planning and review are the paid outcome. Every call is metered in units against your monthly quota.

search_brandsFree

Find the brand

Ranked canonical brands for a name, domain, category, audience or visual style, each with normalized context and evidence coverage.

4–6 units

plan_interfacePaid

A build-ready plan: state machine, components, data and validation contracts, edge states, accessibility, acceptance tests, citations and a saveable DESIGN.md.

1 unit

review_implementationPaid

The review loop

Prioritized, evidence-cited findings on an implementation screenshot against the plan, brand direction and acceptance criteria. The image is never retained.

10 units

REST

No MCP client? Plain HTTP.

The brand, coverage and asset contracts are stable and documented in openapi.yaml. Screen bytes stay behind authenticated MCP calls.

GET/v1/brandsapi.design.live

Search brands by query, vertical, archetype, audience, interaction domain, visual style, platform or evidence coverage.

curl -s "https://api.design.live/v1/brands?q=payments&limit=5"

GET/v1/brands/{identifier}api.design.live

One normalized brand record by canonical domain, slug or exact name: colors, fonts, context, assets and provenance.

curl -s "https://api.design.live/v1/brands/stripe.com"

GET/v1/domain/{domain}/{variant}cdn.design.live

Resolve the current approved asset for a domain. Variants are icon, logo and symbol; theme accepts auto, light or dark. Redirects to the immutable object.

curl -sL "https://cdn.design.live/v1/domain/stripe.com/logo?theme=dark" -o stripe-logo.svg

GET/v1/coverageapi.design.live

The public evidence coverage snapshot: tracked brands, screens, annotated screens, workflows and platforms. No private URLs.

curl -s "https://api.design.live/v1/coverage"

GET/v1/screens/{sha256}api.design.live

Resolve a canonical product screen by content hash. Private in production — screen bytes are delivered through authenticated MCP calls.

curl -s "https://api.design.live/v1/screens/{sha256}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DESIGN_LIVE_API_KEY"

POST/api/rightsdesign.live

Submit a correction, takedown, brand claim or permission update. Same-origin public intake with a durable receipt.

curl -s "https://design.live/api/rights" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"requestType":"correction","requesterEmail":"you@example.com","details":"…","consent":true}'

Asset CDN

Every approved logo, icon and symbol resolves from one stable pattern, so an agent never has to store a file:

https://cdn.design.live/v1/domain/{domain}/{variant}

variant is icon, logo or symbol; add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark. The resolver redirects to the current immutable, content-addressed object.

For agents

Let the agent onboard itself.

Two fetchable files. Point any coding agent at them and it can configure design.live without a human reading these docs.

SKILL.md

A complete setup skill an agent can fetch and follow on its own: what design.live is, how to get a key, the MCP config, and three worked tool calls with their result shapes.

curl -s https://design.live/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md

llms.txt

The machine-readable index of this site, in the llms.txt convention. Links the skill file, the OpenAPI document, the platform page and every per-brand DESIGN.md route.

curl -s https://design.live/llms.txt

Your first call

curl -s https://design.live/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DESIGN_LIVE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"get_brand_context","arguments":{"identifier":"stripe.com"}}}'
