Overview
ReftrixMCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that offers 26 web design analysis tools with pgvector semantic search.
What is this MCP server?
- 26 MCP tools for layout, motion, quality, and semantic search
- PostgreSQL with pgvector for embedding-backed design retrieval
- Optional Redis/Valkey via BullMQ for queued analysis jobs
- Optional Ollama Vision LLM at OLLAMA_BASE_URL (default localhost:11434)
- npm @reftrixmcp/mcp-server stdio transport
- 26 MCP tools documented for layout, motion, quality, and semantic search
- Server version 0.1.8; npm package @reftrixmcp/mcp-server with stdio transport

What problem does it solve?
Agents generate UI code easily but rarely reason systematically about layout, motion, and visual quality against real references.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running a design-aware frontend loop with Postgres/pgvector and optional local Ollama vision.
Skip if: Teams that only need quick screenshot diffs without a design database or queue infrastructure.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent runs structured design analysis and semantic lookups so frontend iterations align with proven patterns.
- Structured layout, motion, and quality assessments via 26 tools
- Semantic retrieval of similar designs from your vector index
- Queued analysis jobs when Redis and BullMQ are configured

How it compares
Design corpus and analysis MCP, not a minimal UI screenshot diff utility.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ReftrixMCP for?
Indie developers and designers who want MCP-driven layout, motion, and quality analysis backed by searchable UI references.
When should I use ReftrixMCP?
Use it during Build while refining pages, benchmarking motion, or retrieving semantically similar layouts from your pgvector store.
How do I add ReftrixMCP to my agent?
Install @reftrixmcp/mcp-server, set DATABASE_URL for Postgres with pgvector, optionally REDIS_URL and OLLAMA_BASE_URL, then add stdio MCP config.
