How to connect
How to connect Craftery Developer Tools to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://craftery.dev/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.
Authorization
After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.
How to connect Craftery Developer Tools to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://craftery.dev/mcp
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect Craftery Developer Tools to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://craftery.dev/mcp
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (6)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| convert_color | Convert a color into exact, platform-correct code for 12 formats: HEX, HEX8, rgba(), hsla(), closest CSS named color, closest Tailwind class, SwiftUI Color, UIColor, Jetpack Compose, Android XML, Flutter, and React Native. Handles the per-platform alpha byte order (RRGGBBAA on the web vs. AARRGGBB on Android/Compose/Flutter) that is easy to get wrong by hand. |
| check_contrast | Compute the exact WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio between a foreground and background color (relative-luminance formula) and report AA / AAA pass-fail for normal text (4.5 / 7), large text (3 / 4.5), and UI components (3). Use this instead of estimating contrast — the luminance math is precise here. |
| swiftui_color | Generate every SwiftUI Color initializer for a color: Color(red:green:blue:), opacity variant, Color(.sRGB), Color(.displayP3), HSB, hex-extension call, #colorLiteral, UIColor/NSColor bridges — plus a reusable `extension Color` snippet and Asset Catalog Contents.json. |
| generate_uuid | Generate cryptographically random UUIDs: v4 (random), v7 (RFC 9562 time-ordered, sortable — batches stay strictly ordered), or NIL. Never invent UUIDs by hand — use this for real randomness. Supports uppercase, hyphen-less, and braced formatting. |
| hash_text | Compute real MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests of a UTF-8 string, or HMAC variants when a key is given (HMAC-MD5 unsupported). Hashes cannot be computed mentally — always use this. Runs statelessly; input is not stored. For secrets you'd rather keep on-device, use the in-browser tool at craftery.dev/hash/ instead. |
| convert_timestamp | Convert between Unix epoch timestamps and human dates with exact math: accepts epoch seconds / milliseconds / microseconds (auto-detected by magnitude), ISO 8601 / RFC 2822 strings, or "now". Returns seconds, millis, micros, ISO 8601 UTC, RFC 7231 UTC, the wall-clock time in a requested IANA timezone, and a relative description. |
