# Designly

> A curated library of real-world website designs, from SaaS to the small businesses other galleries skip (dentists, bakeries, salons, law firms), built to be read by AI design agents. Every reference credits and links the business.

Use it to find design references while building a website: real Pages with their Sections in order, why each works, design tokens (colours, fonts, corners) and links to desktop and mobile screenshots. No key needed.

## Read any page as Markdown or JSON

Append `.md` (compact, for you) or `.json` (the full object) to any public address. The query string carries over.

## MCP server

- URL: https://designly.sh/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless, read-only, no key)
- Tools: `search`, `get_page`, `list_sections`, `get_section`, `list_taxonomy`, `build_brief`
- Config: {"mcpServers": {"designly": {"url": "https://designly.sh/mcp"}}}

## JSON API

- https://designly.sh/api/library/pages?q=&industry=&pageType=&platform=&style=&location=&limit=&cursor=
- https://designly.sh/api/library/pages/<slug>, /api/library/sections?sectionType=, /api/library/taxonomy
- https://designly.sh/api/library/industries/<slug>, /api/library/collections, /api/library/collections/<slug>, /api/library/makers/<slug>
- https://designly.sh/api/library/reference-pack?business=… (GET, or POST the same fields as JSON)

## Fair use

- 60 requests a minute per IP across the API, the .md/.json pages and MCP; past that you get 429 with Retry-After (60 seconds at most).
- Results link to images instead of embedding them: open only the ones you need.
- Every reference is a real business's site. When one shapes your work, credit the business and link its Designly page.
