uxspot MCP server
The UX reference your AI assistant can call.
uxspot.io is a free, curated UX reference — a 198-term glossary, an AI x UX tools directory, 5 interactive checklists, and a 77-topic Learn UX curriculum. This repository documents its remote Model Context Protocol server, which exposes all of that as callable tools for Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client.
- Endpoint:
https://uxspot.io/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, stateless)
- Landing page and live demo: uxspot.io/mcp-server
- Auth: none — no key, no account, no rate-limit signup
- Privacy: every tool is read-only over public uxspot.io content. The server never sees your project, files, or account.

How it is built
The server is a single Cloudflare Pages Function in front of the static uxspot.io site. Each POST is a complete JSON-RPC exchange (stateless Streamable HTTP — no sessions, no database), and the tools read the same structured data that powers the live site, so responses are always in sync with what is published.
The code in server/ is a read-only mirror of the deployed function, published here for transparency and for MCP directory listings. The source of truth lives in the main uxspot site repository; the data files it imports (glossary.json, tools.json, checklists.json, curriculum.ts) live there too, so this mirror is for reading, not building.
