Human Standards

Overview

Human Standards is an MCP server that brings read-only guidance on accessible and usable interface design into your AI assistant. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients access design principles and best practices as callable tools, so your AI can reason about human-centered design as it helps you work.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @humanstandards/mcp-server. Install it with npx -y @humanstandards/mcp-server, and it speaks MCP over stdio with no authentication required. Version v0.3.1 is the latest release, maintained at aklodhi98/humanstandards on GitHub.

Human Standards is listed in the Design category on mcp.site and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this project, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
