Common questions

Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI coding agents call external tools mid-task. Connect A1 once and your agent can look up real websites, fonts, and colour palettes as structured data — without you pasting screenshots or describing what you want.

Free. No account needed. The server is rate-limited to 60 requests per minute and 500 per day per IP address.

Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (1.99+ with GitHub Copilot), ChatGPT (Plus/Pro/Team), Zed (0.168+), OpenAI Codex, and Claude Desktop. Any tool that implements the Model Context Protocol spec will also work.

Published website metadata: name, URL, fonts, colours, styles, technologies, and categories. Creator profiles: designer and studio names, bios, and social links. No private or unpublished data is accessible.

Run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to list all connected servers and their available tools.
