Font Lab MCP Server

local only

Font Lab runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 91 installs a week from npm. Last commit 29 Jul 2026.

A decision surface for typography: curate font directions on your real site, ship next/font code.

What the code does

We read the source, 1 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

  ok("the fix is the one-time git rm -r --cached", /git rm -r --cached -- app\/_fontlab/.test(plan.scaffold.tracked?.fix || ""));
Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

  const shipDir = path.join(projectDir, staticDir, "fontlab") + path.sep;
  spawnSync(process.execPath, [HERE + "font-lab.mjs", ...args], { encoding: "utf8", env: { ...process.env, ...env } });
Executes code built at runtime cli/m6-test.mjs:46, [пакет] m6-test.mjs:46
const click = (sel) => page.evaluate((s) => eval(s.host).querySelector(s.sel).click(), { host: SHADOW, sel });
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Page executes code built at runtime spike/panel-galley/prototype.html:681
  function setStatusHTML(html, tone = "") { $("status").innerHTML = html; $("status").dataset.tone = tone; }

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Font Lab and you get told the day something new turns up.

Font Lab — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Font Lab?
Font Lab 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 font-lab was installed 91 times last week.
How do I connect Font Lab?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls font-lab straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Font Lab?
The npm package font-lab was installed 91 times in the last week. Week over week that is -69%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Font Lab open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
