Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check One Design every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

One Design — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for One Design?
One Design runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package one-design-mcp was installed 307 times last week.
How do I connect One Design?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls one-design-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use One Design?
The npm package one-design-mcp was installed 307 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is One Design open source?
No, and the distinction matters: its licence is declared as unlicensed (all rights reserved). That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
