Refero

Searchable library of real product screens, user flows and design systems, with an MCP server

Aboutrefero.design

A design research library indexing screens and multi-step user flows from hundreds of shipped web and iOS products, searchable by page type (Dashboard, Settings, Paywall & Subscription), UX pattern (Billing & Plans, Empty State, Dark Mode), UI element (Button, Table, Modal, Switch & Toggle), company, or plain language. Three entity types: Styles (design specs with colors, typography, spacing and a generated DESIGN.md), Screens, and Flows. It exposes an HTTP MCP server at api.refero.design/mcp plus an agent skill and a Figma plugin, so a coding agent can research a pattern before writing UI. Pro is required for MCP, downloads, and the Figma plugin.

For an agent

This is the one entry in the batch an agent should call before it writes UI, not after: wire up the MCP server and query Flows when the task is a multi-step journey (onboarding, checkout, account deletion) where the hard part is step order, not styling. Its Styles layer emits a DESIGN.md you can drop straight into a repo as the visual contract, which pairs well with a shadcn registry doing the implementation. Two constraints -- MCP is Pro-only and capped at 8,000 calls per month, and the marketing site is a JS shell, so never try to scrape refero.design directly; use api.refero.design/mcp or doc.refero.design.

Why it is here. Most galleries stop at a screenshot; Refero indexes whole flows and emits machine-readable design specs, which is the difference between inspiration and something an agent can act on.
