design-data

design-data is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from adobe/spectrum-design-data. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A local MCP server for Adobe design data, including design tokens and component information. Design tokens are named values such as colours, spacing, and font sizes that keep an interface consistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and work with Spectrum design tokens, components, and related design-data files from this repository.
Why use it?
It gives an agent access to the repository’s design data and its local tools, instead of requiring that information to be handled manually.

About the project

adobe/spectrum-design-data is a monorepo containing the design tokens, component schemas, specifications, and related datasets that define Adobe's Spectrum design system; a monorepo keeps these related packages in one repository. It is for Adobe Spectrum SDK and tooling developers who need canonical design-system data and validation artifacts. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and integrations for working with this design data.

Security

Grade A, and why

design-data scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
