Curio — design style library

Curio MCP

Connect your AI to Curio — a design-style library built for AI agents. Hundreds of tokenized design styles (real design movements, brands, cultural traditions), each with a machine-readable spec your agent can apply directly to slides, websites, and products.

• Endpoint: https://mcp.designbycurio.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
