StyleTrace

Analyzes website references, images, screenshots, and HTML snippets to produce a design brief with style constraints, and reviews generated HTML against those constraints.

StyleTrace

npm downloads

StyleTrace is an MCP server that analyzes references and returns a prompt-ready design brief for agents and reviewers. One use case is helping developers build websites without getting distracted by design decisions, then review generated output against the original style constraints.

StyleTrace reverse engineering comparison

Additional example using the same references with and without StyleTrace in the review flow:

StyleTrace with and without comparison

Why Use It

turn a few reference pages, screenshots, or HTML snippets into a prompt-ready design brief an agent can actually use
make website regeneration less generic by preserving the parts that feel distinctive
review generated HTML or screenshots against the extracted style constraints instead of relying on vague visual judgment
analyze only the exact URLs you give it, so the result stays predictable and reviewable

Installation

Requirements:

Node.js >=20
Playwright Chromium

Install from npm:

npm install -g @agenticbridge/style-trace
npx playwright install chromium

Or run from a local clone:

npm install
npx playwright install chromium
npm run build

Usage

Connect it from your MCP client.

Published package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "style-trace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agenticbridge/style-trace"]
    }
  }
}

Local clone:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "style-trace": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/style-trace/dist/src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

The server exposes two tools:

analyze_website_style
review_generated_style

analyze_website_style accepts exact website URLs:

{
  "urls": ["https://www.apple.com", "https://www.framer.com"],
  "targetArtifact": "landing-page",
  "fidelity": "high"
}

It also accepts mixed references:

{
  "references": [
    { "type": "url", "value": "https://www.apple.com/iphone/" },
    { "type": "image", "value": "https://example-cdn.com/reference/hero-shot.png" },
    { "type": "screenshot", "value": "https://example-cdn.com/reference/hero-capture.png" },
    { "type": "html", "value": "<main><section><h1>Hero</h1></section></main>" }
  ],
  "targetArtifact": "prototype",
  "fidelity": "medium",
  "designIntent": "preserve the hero hierarchy and chrome discipline",
  "evidenceMode": "inline"
}

urls remains supported for website-only input. Use references when you want to mix website, image, screenshot, and bounded HTML sources in one request.

The result now includes prompt-ready fields such as visualVocabulary, styleInvariants, styleRisks, softGuesses, compositionBlueprint, variationAxes, blendModes, promptReadyBrief, reviewContract, and originalityBoundary.

review_generated_style checks generated HTML or a generated image URL against a StyleTrace result:

{
  "styleResult": { "...": "StyleTrace analyze_website_style output" },
  "generatedHtml": "<!doctype html><html>...</html>",
  "viewportWidth": 1440,
  "viewportHeight": 900
}

It returns matched invariants, violated constraints, drift notes, and review confidence.

How It Works

analyze_website_style visits exactly the public website URLs you provide with Playwright, and it can also analyze direct public image URLs, screenshot references, and bounded HTML snippets. It extracts narrow, reviewable signals such as module structure, hero treatment, CTA patterns, proof modules, imagery, forms, breakpoints, and signature motifs, then compiles them into a prompt-ready design brief with hard constraints, drift risks, composition structure, and review checks. It does not crawl additional pages, and it does not try to invent a new design system or make speculative recommendations.

review_generated_style runs the generated artifact back through the same lens and compares it to the extracted style contract. The goal is to make style review explicit: what matched, what drifted, and what likely became generic.

Limits

public http and https URLs only
image and screenshot references must point to direct public image assets such as .png, .jpg, .webp, .gif, .avif, or .svg
HTML references are bounded snippets, not full browsing sessions
image-only or screenshot-only references produce weaker inference for typography, navigation, forms, motion, and breakpoints than live website references
no auth flows or private-network targets
stdio transport only
no persistence, queueing, or web UI

Contributing and Testing

Run the local checks:

npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm test

For a real MCP transport smoke test:

npm run test:mcp-cli

For the full review artifact flow with source captures, with MCP vs without MCP LLM regeneration, and a composite diff board:

built-in comparison set:

npm run test:e2e -- --instance apple-pixel-samsung
npm run test:e2e -- --instance figma-framer-webflow

Or run it against your own public URLs:

bash scripts/test-mcp-cli.sh https://www.apple.com https://www.framer.com
