Overview

AI-generated overview

Northlit is a remote AI design studio MCP server that turns briefs into direction boards, HTML prototypes, images and video.

What you can do
  • Turn a design brief into direction boards.
  • Generate HTML prototypes from a brief.
  • Produce images and video as design output.
  • No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact operations are not documented here.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should help move from a written design brief to visual exploration and prototype output without leaving the conversation.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at northlit.ai over streamable HTTP, with OAuth sign-in required. No packages, environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
Sign-in is via OAuth, so the assistant gets access to the linked Northlit account; review the scopes granted. Generated media and prototypes are produced on a third-party service, so brief content is sent to Northlit. No tool list is published, so what it can change or create is unclear before connecting.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Northlit in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.northlit%2Fnorthlit/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
