Using these tokens with AI tools

Basalt serves this design system to Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Design, and Windsurf via an MCP server. AI tools query your real token values instead of guessing.

See MCP.md for setup instructions and available tools.

Quick config (Cursor / Claude Code / Windsurf):

{ "mcpServers": { "basalt": { "url": "https://basalt.run/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bsk_your_key_here" } } } }

Token architecture

Three tiers, each referencing the layer above:

Primitive → raw values (color.orange.500 = #F97316) Semantic → intent + theming (color.action.default → color.orange.500) Component → scoped to UI elements (button.background.default → color.action.default)

AI tools resolve the full chain automatically via MCP.
