Inspo gives coding agents searchable production-site references

Inspo is an open-source MCP server that lets coding agents search 2,320 captured pages from 832 production sites, then inspect desktop and mobile screenshots, reference components, and extracted DESIGN.md files before writing UI. Why it matters: This moves interface generation from prompt-only styling toward reference-backed choices an operator can inspect before code is written. The useful shift is not automatic taste; it is a concrete evidence set for discussing layout, typography, spacing, and responsive behavior.

Try this: Run one landing-page brief through Inspo's recommend tool, save the returned references, and compare the resulting screenshot against a no-Inspo baseline. Check for wrong-industry matches, copied patterns, mobile layout, and obstructed captures before accepting the design.
