Taste MCP

Give your AI agents
your eye for design.

Taste MCP connects your AI agents to your saved designs, annotations, and taste profile, so they can build with your preferences in mind.

Install MCPSee plans

MCP access is included with Free and Pro. Your AI tool’s plan is separate.

A point of view, not another prompt

You know what feels right.
Now your tools can, too.

Your references, in reach.
Find the designs you saved without leaving the conversation. Give your tool a collection to work from.
The reason behind the reference.
Your private notes explain what caught your eye, so your tool can apply the idea to something new.
A profile that goes with you.
Bring your design preferences into supported AI tools without rewriting the same brief each time.

Make the connection

A few steps, then back to making.

Connect Taste to

Figma

You’ll sign in to Taste when your tool asks to connect. Create a free account if you’re new here.

Server address
https://mcp.buildwithtaste.com/mcp

  1. In a Figma Make file, click Add context → Connectors → Manage.

  2. Open Created by you, click Create, and enter the Taste MCP server URL.

  3. Use https://mcp.buildwithtaste.com/mcp, then click Connect to authorize with Taste.

Finish with a quick check.

Return to your tool and try this prompt. It should list your collections, or tell you the library is empty.

Use the Taste MCP to list my collections and their item counts. If Taste tools are unavailable, report that instead of using my local skill export.

A copied address doesn’t confirm the connection. If the tool reports an error, check its authentication and MCP status.

Review connected apps

See a few directions.
Find your favorite.

Taste Previews lets you compare working directions and refine one in your coding chat.

Use Taste Previews to show three working directions for this page. Read my projects first, create one if needed, then generate the previews and open the interactive comparison so I can choose and riff.

What do I need for Previews?
Generation runs in a coding tool that can create files and capture browser previews. Compatible hosts show the comparison in chat; an authenticated browser review is also available.
Already connected, but Previews is missing?
Refresh your Taste tools or start a new task to load the latest capabilities. Previews uses your existing personal Taste connection.

Previews saves generated designs, feedback, and project decisions. Applying a direction to your application is a separate action.

Open saved previews

Make it feel like you.

Once connected, give your tool a place to start.

Use my Taste profile to design a settings screen for an iOS app.

Pull my mobile-scope taste profile and rewrite this landing page header.

What do I dislike in interfaces? Search my anti-preferences.

Look at my 'Streaks' collection as design inspiration for this onboarding flow.

Search my saved design samples for mobile navigation references.

List my Taste collections, then help me choose one for this project.

You’re in control.

A connection you approve

Sign in to Taste and review access before a tool connects. Your Taste password stays out of the setup instructions.

Your work stays yours

Taste reads your profile and saves. When you request Previews, it also saves generated designs, feedback, and project decisions. You can review and delete that history. Applying a preview to your application is a separate coding action.

Disconnect whenever you like

Review and remove access from Connected apps.

A few useful answers.

I added Taste, but my AI tool cannot see it. What should I check?
Check the client's MCP server list for an authentication or startup error. In Codex, run codex mcp login taste if sign-in is needed, then restart the client and check /mcp. In ChatGPT web, select your Taste app in Developer mode and refresh its tools in app settings. If an error remains, use its exact message to troubleshoot; a missing tool does not always mean you need to sign in again.
Does my local Taste skill mean MCP is connected?
No. The local skill is an exported snapshot of your preferences and references. MCP is a separate authenticated connection that reads your live Taste library. Verify it by asking your AI tool to list your collections through the Taste MCP.
Does connecting Codex also connect ChatGPT web?
No. Codex desktop, CLI, and IDE can share configuration on the same host, but ChatGPT web requires its own app connection and authorization. Connect each tool you intend to use.
Is this free?
Connecting to Taste MCP is free. Reading your profile and references is subject to usage limits. Generating a new collection brief can use your monthly AI generation credits; unchanged cached briefs do not consume another generation credit.
Do my profile changes show up automatically?
Yes. The MCP server reads your profile from Taste in real time. Save a new sample or regenerate your profile and your AI tools see the update on the very next request.
How do I revoke access?
Open Account → MCP Connectors, find the client, and click Disconnect. The token is invalidated immediately.
What data does each client see?
Your taste profile, scoped profiles, saved samples, extracted tokens, collections and collection briefs. Taste Interview tools follow your sharing settings. Clients cannot edit or delete your saved designs; generating a collection brief can create a cached result and consume AI generation credits.
Can AI tools access my collections?
Yes. Connected clients can list and search your collections by name, then request a design brief using the collection ID or slug. Briefs include reference image URLs and design direction. How images appear depends on the AI client.
Can AI tools access my portfolio?
Direct portfolio retrieval is not available in the current production MCP tool set. You can use saved design samples and collection briefs for reference context today.
Is this secure?
Connections use OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. No passwords leave Taste, ever. Tokens are scoped to read-only and bound to mcp.buildwithtaste.com. You can revoke access at any time.
