### Description (declared)

**English** | [繁體中文](README.zh-TW.md)

# Glyphs info MCP

> ## ⚠️ Maintenance Mode — New Users Please Use the Plugin
>
> This MCP server is in **maintenance mode** as of 2026-05. The same
> Glyphs documentation and API queries are available as a faster,
> lighter Claude Code plugin:
> [`glyphs-reference`](https://github.com/yintzuyuan/glyphs-reference).
>
> **Why migrate?** The plugin uses Claude's Skills system with progressive
> disclosure — token usage drops by ~98%, and queries feel instant
> compared to the MCP's eager-loaded approach. See
> [Why Skills over MCP?](https://github.com/yintzuyuan/glyphs-reference#why-skills-over-mcp)
>
> **Existing users**: This MCP will keep working. Bug fixes only, no new
> features. PyPI live for at least 12 months from this notice.
