An expert design advisor MCP server that finds, pairs, and sets up the best fonts for your project.

Font MCP doesn't just list fonts — it researches live discussions (Reddit, Typewolf), scans your project files for "vibe", and automatically hunts down font files for your setup.

Font Hunter Logic

The tool assumes you own a valid license for any commercial font. It uses multiple strategies to locate files:

1. Direct CDN / GitHub raw patterns.
2. Community sharing hubs (VK, Telegram indices).
3. Open directory dorking (Google/browser search).
4. Last resort: Writes a HUNTING_INSTRUCTIONS.txt with specific search queries if auto-download fails.

Configuration

You can tweak the behavior in your MCP config:

Option	Type	Default	Description
maxDownloadAttempts	number	10	Number of download strategies to try
downloadTimeoutMs	number	30000	Timeout in milliseconds for each font download request
outputDir	string	'./public/fonts'	Directory where downloaded font files and hunt artifacts are written
allowFreeFontsFallback	boolean	false	Set to true to allow Google Fonts fallback
