Font Lab adds MCP-based font picking and in-place text editing to live sites
nahsgid · reddit · 2026-07-26
The author built Font Lab, an MCP server for agentic coding workflows that lets an agent help with font selection and in-place text editing on a live site.
What it does:
- Installs with npx font-lab install
- Registers an MCP server and a Claude skill
- Spins up the dev server and adds a panel inside the running site
- Shows curated font directions for display/body/mono and lets you mix them live
- Lets you double-click text on the page, edit it in place, and save changes back to source
- If direct editing is not possible, it generates a specific prompt for the agent
It works with multiple agents via auto-detected MCP config, and the author says they tested it with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is free and open source, but text editing currently works only with Next.js; other frameworks fall back to screenshot-based font selection.
