MCP Servers overview

# Better Design

A design harness for AI coding agents. This plugin connects your agent to the Better Design MCP server, so the interfaces it builds use a real design system, follow design principles, and pass UI review checks.

## What your agent gets

- **A design system for your app.** Find one that fits your product, preview it, and install its components, or generate a custom one from a description or your own site.
- **Design principles.** Visual design, UX flows, forms, onboarding and interface copy, plus references for React Native, SwiftUI, Three.js and Shopify themes.
- **Review checks.** Accessibility, copy clarity and measured spacing for the screens your agent builds.
- **Icons you own.** Icon sets returned as React components, with no runtime CDN.

## What this repository holds

This repository holds the plugin files only: the manifests, the MCP server entry and two skills. The Better Design server and its design systems run at [better-design.com](https://better-design.com).
