Better Design

Better Design is an MCP server that gives AI coding agents real design systems and components.

Better Design is a tool that gives AI coding agents real design systems with 87 components each through one Model Context Protocol server. It helps developers and builders ship apps with consistent branding and quality without slowing down. The platform connects to your editor with one command, reads design tokens from your code or live site, and loads UI and UX rules to check spacing, accessibility, and copy. It is designed for founders, indie hackers, developers, designers, product teams, agencies, Shopify store owners, and marketers. Pricing includes a free developer plan with 300 tool calls a month and a Pro plan at $20 per month with unlimited tool calls and GitHub pull request reviews.
