## The Hook

awwwards-mcp gives coding agents a Mobbin-style visual reference loop from Awwwards — search award sites, pull design DNA (palette/stack/elements), and show screenshots inline with no API key.

## What's Good

MIT (INSANE0777/Awwwards-mcp). npm `awwwards-mcp` v1.7.2 (HTTP 200). Local FTS5 index + polite crawl (1 req/s); tools for search, site details, compare, live capture; optional Playwright for fresh screenshots. No account for the OSS path. ★~94.

## The Catch

Depends on awwwards.com HTML staying scrapeable — parsers can drift; run doctor/index when the site moves. Vs figma-context-mcp / open-design / niblet: Figma MCP is your file→code; OpenDesign is a design-agent workspace; Niblet’s full materials path is hosted/token — awwwards-mcp’s catch is free local award-site inspiration MCP. First index crawl takes minutes; respect robots/rate limits.

## Verdict

MIT Awwwards inspiration MCP when agents need award-site DNA without a design SaaS seat — not Figma-MCP alone; not Niblet’s hosted materials gate.
