Slop Patterns tools (7)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postschangelogFreeThe library version, what each release added or changed, and how patterns are versioned. Use it to cite a specific version of Slop Patterns.
check_designFreeCheck a snippet of CSS, HTML or JSX against the Slop Patterns library and return every AI design anti-pattern it matches, with the fix for each. Covers the 101 documented patterns that have a mechanical tell. Useful for reviewing generated UI code.
get_patternFreeGet one full pattern entry by id or code (e.g. "a1" or "the-unchosen-gradient"): what it looks like, why the tools produce it, who it hurts, the fix, sources.
list_patternsFreeList the whole Slop Patterns taxonomy: code, id, name and one-liner for every documented AI design anti-pattern.
report_patternFreeReport an AI design anti-pattern that is NOT yet in the library, for a design failure seen repeatedly that a search of the library does not find. Reports are reviewed by a human before anything is published, and published entries credit the reporter.
search_patternsFreePlain-language search across the library. "gradient headline" returns A10 Gradient Text Headline.
whyFreeReturn only the causal explanation for one pattern — which model, tool or template default produces it.

What the publisher says
From the Slop Patterns repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Slop Patterns
A public library of AI design anti-patterns: what they look like, why the tools produce them, and what to do instead. Live at sloppatterns.com.
- License: MIT (LICENSE). Only the pattern library is here and MIT: patterns.json, the pattern text and sources, the site, and the MCP server in api/.
- Scanner code is not open. The Slop Score scanner at sloppatterns.com/score (browser capture, live checks and grading) is a separate project and is not included in this repo.
- The MCP server runs at https://sloppatterns.com/mcp. No account or key. See the "For agents" page on the site.
- The research note, The Same Page, is in research/.
Maintained by Pavithra Lamahewa at Precious Studio. Suggest a pattern from the site, or open an issue.
Use it in your AI tools
Your coding agent calls check_design on the UI it writes and fixes what it finds before you see it.
- Claude Code (plugin, MCP plus a skill):
/plugin marketplace add pavithralamahewa/slop-patterns
/plugin install slop-patterns@slop-patterns- Any MCP client: npx add-mcp https://sloppatterns.com/mcp, or add an HTTP server with that URL. It is in the official MCP Registry as com.sloppatterns/slop-patterns.
- Cursor: add the server in Settings → MCP (type HTTP, URL above), then copy cursor/slop-patterns.mdc into .cursor/rules/.
Use the taxonomy
Every pattern has a stable code (for example A10) and a stable URL (https://sloppatterns.com/#gradient-text-headline). Codes never change meaning; when an entry is revised, its version and updated fields change.
- All 272 patterns as data: taxonomy.json. Each entry says whether it is checked automatically (101 are; the scanner, the MCP server and the command line share 104 code rules, and 57 of them have passed a hand audit on whole pages) or needs a person.
- Command line: npx slop-patterns check ./dist or npx slop-patterns scan example.com. See cli/.
- One rule set: the scanner, the MCP server and the command line run the same rules.js, so they never disagree.
- Cite it: see CITATION.cff. GitHub shows a "Cite this repository" button from it.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.

- What can I use instead of Slop Patterns?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: melta UI MCP server, Perfboard Designer MCP server and Designer Skill MCP server. Compare all Slop Patterns alternatives.
- How does Slop Patterns compare with other Media MCP servers?
- safety score 91/100 (higher than 83% of 1,337 Media servers); tools 7 (the typical Media server has 7); tools that change things 0% (typical: 4%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
