Gradients Studio tools (3)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • list_palettesFree

    Palettes to start from: the studio's sixteen, the ones behind product sites people admire (Linear, Stripe, Raycast, …), the account's saved palettes (with an API key), and six tuned starting points for common jobs (website hero, launch post, deck slide, product screenshot, integrations grid, App Store shot) with their full settings. Pass any of these to render_gradient. No key needed.

  • render_gradientFree

    Render a gradient background image (website hero, OG image, launch post, slide, wallpaper) with Gradients Studio's renderer: blobs, stripes or clouds, real grain, pixel and dither finishes, shape overlays. Workflow: start from suggest_settings or list_palettes, call this WITHOUT `size` for a free 960px preview (returned inline, no API key needed), adjust the `settings` you get back, and pass `size` (exact pixels, e.g. [1200, 630] for an OG image, [2560, 1440] for a hero) once the person is happy. A sized export needs an API key; it uses one of the account's monthly exports (5 free, unlimited on Pro) and returns a URL that is valid for 24 hours; asking for the same export again within that time returns the same URL for free. Every result includes `settings` (send them back to iterate) and `studioUrl` (open it to take over in the browser). Use `overlaySvg` with the raw text of a logo SVG to draw it as concentric outlines over the gradient. For the soft mesh look keep blur at 700–900 and contrast at 130; saturated mid-tone colors render best, muddy ones come out dull.

  • suggest_settingsFree

    Turn a plain-language brief ('dark, premium, fintech hero, a bit retro') into two or three starting settings for render_gradient. Understands jobs (hero, launch post, slide, screenshot, integrations, app store), moods and colors, product names (Linear, Stripe, Raycast…), styles (blobs, stripes, clouds) and finishes (retro/pixel, print/dither, terminal/glyph dither, film/grain, smooth). You are the taste layer: preview the candidates and adjust. No key needed.

What the publisher says

From the Gradients Studio repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Gradients Studio MCP

Gradient backgrounds for coding agents. Describe the background in plain words ("dark, grainy, a bit like Linear") and your agent previews it, adjusts it, and drops the finished file into your repo at the exact size the layout needs: a website hero, an OG image, a launch post, a slide.

  • Server: https://www.gradients.studio/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, stateless)
  • No key to start: previews, palettes and suggestions work without an account.
  • Exports: exact-size files with a download URL need a free API key; 5 free a month, unlimited on Pro.
  • Docs: https://www.gradients.studio/mcp · agent install guide: llms-install.md

This repository holds the server's public listing files and docs only. The service itself is hosted; there is nothing to build or run.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add gradients --transport http https://www.gradients.studio/mcp

Or as a plugin, which adds a skill that tells Claude when to reach for it:

/plugin marketplace add anusandhan/gradients-studio-mcp
/plugin install gradients-studio@gradients-studio

Cursor: Add to Cursor, or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gradients": { "url": "https://www.gradients.studio/mcp" }
  }
}

Codex

codex mcp add gradients --url https://www.gradients.studio/mcp

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"gradients","type":"http","url":"https://www.gradients.studio/mcp"}'

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/anusandhan/gradients-studio-mcp

Windsurf, Cline, Claude Desktop and others: add a remote server named gradients with the URL above. Per-client details are in llms-install.md.

Add a key for exports

  1. Create a key at https://www.gradients.studio/app?keys=1 (sign in, then account menu → API keys). It is shown once.
  2. Send it as Authorization: Bearer :
claude mcp remove gradients
claude mcp add gradients --transport http https://www.gradients.studio/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <key>"

In JSON configs, add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } next to "url". With the Claude Code plugin, set GRADIENTSSTUDIOKEY in your environment instead.

Tools

Every result includes the settings (send them back to iterate) and a studio link to take over in the browser. Asking for the same export again within 24 hours returns the same URL and costs nothing.

Example prompts
