Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Remote (streamable-http)
Claude Code 
claude mcp add --transport http inspo 'https://inspomcp.dev/api/mcp'
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "inspo": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://inspomcp.dev/api/mcp"
        }
    }
}
NPM package inspo-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add inspo -e 'TOGETHER_API_KEY=<your together_api_key>' -e 'INSPO_CATALOGUE_URL=<INSPO_CATALOGUE_URL>' -e 'INSPO_PROFILE=<INSPO_PROFILE>' -e 'INSPO_IMAGES=<INSPO_IMAGES>' -e 'INSPO_MAX_TOKENS=<INSPO_MAX_TOKENS>' -- npx -y inspo-mcp@0.1.16
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

    "mcpServers": {
        "inspo": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

  • TOGETHER_API_KEY secret Optional. Enables query-embedding semantic search; everything else works without it.
  • INSPO_CATALOGUE_URL Optional. Point at a self-hosted catalogue instead of the public CDN.
  • INSPO_PROFILE Optional. 'lite' or 'full' tool surface (auto-detected per client by default).
  • INSPO_IMAGES Optional. 'thumbs' or 'none' - whether tool results inline thumbnail image blocks.
  • INSPO_MAX_TOKENS Optional. Token ceiling per tool response (300 to 200000); trims lower-ranked results first.

Inspo

Real production websites your coding agent can study, over MCP, before it writes UI. inspomcp.dev

With and without

Same brief, same model, no design skill on either run. The only difference: the page on the right was built with Inspo MCP on the session.

That gap is the product. Agents have tools but not taste, and the open web already holds every reference they need: Inspo assembles, tags, and addresses it.

What's inside

  • 2,320 pages across 832 real sites, each captured on desktop and mobile, with traced palettes, real fonts, detected tech, and a fold-by-fold autopsy on every page.
  • 68 canonical reference components (heroes, pricing, footers, navs, and more), each demonstrating one named macrostructure, with copy-pasteable JSX.
  • A DESIGN.md for every site, extracted from its DOM: semantic palette roles, type ramp, spacing scale, CSS variables, container width.

Fifteen tools expose all of it; recommend(brief) composes most of them into one call. The full tool table lives in apps/mcp/README.md.

Tech stack

  • TypeScript MCP server with two transports: stdio via npm, and Streamable HTTP served by the site's own Vercel deployment. No database at query time; the catalogue ships as a static seed.
  • Next.js 16 + Tailwind v4 gallery: the archive browser and the curator dashboard.
  • Playwright capture worker: desktop and mobile shots, palette, type ramp and CSS variable extraction, tag and autopsy passes via Together AI.
  • Together AI embeddings behind semantic search and find_similar.
  • A smoke harness that boots the server in-process and exercises the core tools.

Cloning & running

  1. One command, any client: npx -y inspo-mcp install (detects Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Claude Desktop and writes the config; --dry-run shows the plan)
  2. Or point a client at the hosted endpoint yourself: claude mcp add --transport http inspo https://inspomcp.dev/api/mcp
  3. Or clone: git clone https://github.com/Nutlope/inspo.git && cd inspo && pnpm install
  4. Gallery: pnpm dev, then open localhost:3000
  5. Dev loop: pnpm --filter @inspo/mcp test

Per-client snippets (Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Claude Desktop) are on the MCP page; the self-host runbook is DEPLOY.md.

Roadmap

  • [ ] show the desktop and mobile capture side by side on every screen page
  • [ ] backfill component crops so find_components returns a crop for every hit
  • [ ] paginate the list tools instead of capping them
  • [ ] re-shoot the mobile set at retina scale
  • Accounts and paywalls are skipped on purpose: the archive is more useful free.

Want a site in the archive? Append it to apps/worker/src/seed-urls.ts and open a PR. The bar: does it make the archive better for someone building a website?

Security

Every tool is read-only. The one path that touches the outside world - get_design_system(live:true), which supplements thin captured tokens from the screen's own source - passes each URL and redirect through an SSRF guard: public named hosts only, ports 80 and 443, byte-capped body, no JS execution. The hosted endpoint logs tool name, success and duration per call, never IPs or query text.

Yes. It expects TOGETHER_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.

Is io.github.Nutlope/inspo open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains io.github.Nutlope/inspo?

It is published by Nutlope. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
