### Description (declared)

# styledex-mcp

Thin MCP server for managing the StyleDex design library at `~/.styledex/designs`.

The server owns aliases, curated Playwright capture, metadata, artifact writes, validation summaries, rename, list, and delete. It does not expose generic browser controls; it only captures the StyleDex evidence types agents need.

## Install

Install the MCP server:

```bash
uv tool install styledex-mcp
```

Install the Playwright browser used for captures:

```bash
uvx --from styledex-mcp playwright install chromium
```

If `styledex-mcp` is not found after installation, add uv's tool directory to your shell path:

```bash
uv tool update-shell
```

Restart your shell after updating the path.

Upgrade later with:

```bash
uv tool upgrade styledex-mcp
```

Uninstall with:

```bash
uv tool uninstall styledex-mcp
```

## MCP Config

Use the installed `styledex-mcp` executable in your MCP client config.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "styledex": {
      "command": "styledex-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

For opencode:

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "styledex": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["styledex-mcp"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

Restart your MCP client after changing MCP config.

`styledex-mcp` uses stdio transport. Running it directly in a terminal is only useful for smoke testing; it waits for an MCP client on stdin.

## Environment

- `STYLEDEX_ROOT`: optional override for the design library root. Defaults to `~/.styledex/designs`.
- Legacy fallback: when `STYLEDEX_ROOT` is unset, `~/.styledex/designs` does not exist, and the old Style Mirror root exists, StyleDex reads `STYLE_MIRROR_ROOT` or `~/.style-mirror/designs` so existing captures remain available after the rename.

## Tools

- `styledex_list`
- `styledex_get`
- `styledex_create`
- `styledex_capture_screenshot`
- `styledex_capture_snapshot`
- `styledex_capture_extract`
- `styledex_save`
- `styledex_rename`
- `styledex_delete`

`styledex_create` supports `mode="overwrite"`.

`styledex_delete` …
