Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

convert

convert_color

Converts a color into 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. Applies each platform's alpha byte order (RRGGBBAA on the web, AARRGGBB on Android/Compose/Flutter).

convert_timestamp

Converts between Unix epoch timestamps and human-readable dates. 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.

contrast

check_contrast

Computes the exact WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio between a foreground and background color (relative-luminance formula) and reports AA/AAA pass-fail for normal text (4.5 / 7), large text (3 / 4.5), and UI components (3).

generate

generate_uuid

Generates cryptographically random UUIDs: v4 (random), v7 (RFC 9562 time-ordered; batches stay strictly ordered), or NIL. Supports uppercase, hyphen-less, and braced formatting. 1–100 per call.

hash

hash_text

Computes 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). Stateless; input is not stored.

swiftui

swiftui_color

Generates 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.

Craftery Developer Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Craftery Developer Tools do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_contrast, convert_color, convert_timestamp, generate_uuid, hash_text, swiftui_color. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Craftery Developer Tools working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 238 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Craftery Developer Tools?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Craftery Developer Tools need an API key?

No. Craftery Developer Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Craftery Developer Tools?

It answers our handshake in 238 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
