Curio — design style library
Hooks Claude into Curio's library of tokenized design styles covering movements, brands, and cultural traditions. You get five tools: search and browse the catalog, pull metadata and previews for individual styles, and fetch the full machine-readable design spec (a DESIGN.md file with colors, typography, spacing, component rules). The spec fetch costs one credit; everything else is free. Uses OAuth instead of API keys, and free accounts can grab free styles while Pro unlocks the full library. Reach for this when you want your agent to apply real design systems to slides, sites, or product mockups without manually writing style guides.

Readme
Curio MCP
Connect your AI to Curio — a design-style library built for AI agents. Thousands of design styles (real design movements, brands, cultural traditions), each with a machine-readable spec your agent can apply directly to slides, websites, and products.
- Find the right style: search in English or Chinese, or filter by what you're making (slides, websites, apps, stores, articles, posters…) and the feel you want (minimal, luxury, playful, retro, futuristic…).
- See it before you pick it: every style comes with a cover image and, on request, screenshots of real layouts — slide cover, content and data slides, a dashboard, a pricing page, an article.
- Apply it exactly: fetch the full design spec (DESIGN.md) and your AI uses its exact colors, type, spacing and components.
