Overview

Fudge is an AI-powered design reference engine that helps coding agents create better websites by searching and inspecting thousands of real production websites. It provides screenshots alongside measured design information such as typography, colors, spacing, layout, components, page types, media, interactions, contrast, borders, radii, shadows, and gradients. Fudge works through MCP with tools such as Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code, and its Chrome extension lets users save websites and design details for later use. Agents can use Fudge to discover inspiration, compare visual directions, inspect fonts and color systems, match screenshots, and export design systems to Tailwind CSS, CSS variables, or JSON.
