Open Design is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by feimacode. No marketplace we read lists it any more. Glif is an MCP server published by glif.app. Marketplaces we read that list it: 3 (Official MCP Registry, Docker MCP Catalog, Community GitHub marketplaces). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-24.

Open Design
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Glif As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http glif https://glif.app/api/mcpCommands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Only Glif has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of Open Design publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Open Design asks for
OPEN_DESIGN_FIGMA_TOKEN (secret)
Only Glif asks for
GLIF_API_TOKEN (secret)GLIF_IDSIGNORE_SAVED_GLIFS
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
