Nightmarquee MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Nightmarquee MCP is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent retrieve art directed website prompts accompanied by live demonstration examples. Its repository has 1 stars and its last commit is from October 11, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Nightmarquee MCP does
According to its repository: “Art-directed website prompts as slash commands for hero sections, landing pages, SaaS, portfolios, e-commerce and 3D/WebGL scenes, each with a live demo.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Nightmarquee MCP is listed under Design, art and accessibility, a category of 95 servers in the directory, where it ranks #88 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: claude, claude-code, cursor, prompts, web-design.
Installing and connecting Nightmarquee MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
The registry lists one secret variable to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
Points found for Nightmarquee MCP:
- Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on August 28, 2026, the ant-dev-lab/nightmarquee-mcp repository has 1 stars and 0 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 7% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.1.6 (October 11, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
