Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 1 capability

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through colord.

  1. 01

    Convert color

    This capability converts any valid color string into all major formats including HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK. It also provides luminance, dark/light detection, and the closest CSS named color.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Design to Code Handoff

Convert a designer's RGB values into HEX or HSL for direct use in a stylesheet.

02

Accessibility Auditing

Check if a background color meets brightness requirements for readable text.

03

Print Preparation

Translate digital HEX colors into CMYK values for physical media.

04

CSS Shorthand Lookup

Find the closest standard CSS name for a specific color to keep code clean.

Automate a task

Put colord to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

colord works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put colord to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 1 capability arrives ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of colord, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with colord. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work colord owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical creatives who need to bridge the gap between design intent and code implementation.

  • 01

    Frontend Developers

    They use it to quickly generate CSS color values from design specs.

  • 02

    UI/UX Designers

    They use it to verify color accessibility and find CSS shorthand names.

  • 03

    Graphic Designers

    They use it to convert web colors into CMYK for print workflows.

FAQ

Questions colord owners ask.

  • 01

    Why use this instead of just asking my AI to convert colors?

    LLMs predict tokens rather than performing math, which leads to inaccurate color codes. This MCP uses a dedicated engine to ensure every conversion is mathematically exact.

  • 02

    What color formats are supported?

    The MCP supports HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK, along with alpha channel support for transparency.

  • 03

    Can it help with web accessibility?

    Yes, it includes dark/light detection and brightness values to help you decide if text will be readable on a specific background.

  • 04

    Does it support CSS named colors?

    Yes, it can map colors to 148 different CSS named equivalents.

  • 05

    How do I get this working in my editor?

    Since Vinkius hosts the MCP, you simply connect your client once and the capabilities are immediately available to your agent.

  • 06

    Why can't I just ask the AI to convert colors?

    LLMs predict tokens, they don't do math. Ask the same conversion 3 times and you'll get 3 different HSL values. This engine uses the actual CSS color math. same input, same output, every time.

  • 07

    Does it handle transparency and alpha channels?

    Yes. Pass rgba(255,87,51,0.5), hsla(), or 8-digit hex (#ff573380) and the alpha value is preserved across all output formats.

  • 08

    What if I pass a CSS named color like 'tomato'?

    It works. Pass any of the 148 CSS named colors and get the full HEX/RGB/HSL/CMYK breakdown. It also works in reverse. pass any HEX and get the closest named color.
