Glyphs MCP features
Use this skill for OpenType feature inspection, especially stylistic-set listings.
Core rules
- For "style set", "stylistic set", or
ssXX listing questions, call list_style_sets first.
- Use each style set's
showMarkdown group 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
showUrlUnavailableReason is 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_sets for 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.
