Glyphs MCP features
Use this skill for OpenType feature inspection, especially stylistic-set listings.
Core rules
- For "style set", "stylistic set", or
ssXXlisting questions, calllist_style_setsfirst. - Use each style set's
showMarkdowngroup link in the final answer when available. It should be an HTTP bridge link so clients render it as clickable. - Do not render linked glyph names as inline code.
- Default to one group-level link per style set; only add per-glyph links if the user asks.
- If
showUrlUnavailableReasonis present, report why links are unavailable. - Never mutate or auto-save the font for feature inspection.
Workflow
- Read current font context with
list_open_fonts. - Call
list_style_setsfor the target font. - Summarize each set with:
- tag and name
- substitution count
- group-level
showMarkdown - source glyphs affected by the feature
- Mention skipped unsupported/contextual rules only when the tool reports warnings.
