The server address is https://www.trycolorkit.com/api/mcp. Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP can use it.

How it works

Three steps

  1. 1

    Create a key

    Sign in on the developer page and make an API key. It takes a few seconds and costs nothing.

  2. 2

    Add the server

    Paste the Tintly address and your key into your assistant's MCP settings. Each assistant has its own short guide below.

  3. 3

    Ask about color

    Ask for a palette, a contrast check or the meaning of a color. The assistant calls Tintly and answers with real numbers.

Safe by design

You stay in control

Read-only

Every tool computes or looks something up. None of them can change your account, your library or anything on your computer.

Revoke any time

Each key is yours. Revoke it on the developer page and it stops working within a minute.

Rate limited

60 requests a minute per key keeps the service quick for everyone. Responses say how many you have left.

Nothing stored

We count requests so you can see when a key was last used. The colors you ask about are not kept.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Every request carries your key in the Authorization header. Create one on the developer page: it is free and takes a few seconds.

Can an assistant change my account or my saved palettes?

No. Every Tintly tool only reads or computes: palettes, colors, contrast and descriptions. Nothing here writes to your library or account.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Tintly is free, and so are the API and the MCP server. Each key is limited to 60 requests a minute so it stays fast for everyone.

What if my assistant is not listed?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP will work. It needs two things: the server address and an Authorization: Bearer header carrying your key.

What do you log?

We count requests per key, so you can see when a key was last used. The colors you ask about are not stored.

Give your assistant an eye for color.
