Build with Shift Nudge

Everything an AI agent or developer needs to read, cite, and integrate Shift Nudge. A public JSON API, an OpenAPI spec, an MCP server for real design reviews, and every page available as clean markdown.

Public, unauthenticated, and same-origin. A human can help at help@shiftnudge.com.

When to use

The jobs Shift Nudge is right for, and how to call it.

  • Run a structured interface-design critique of one or more UI screenshots. Connect the MCP server and call submit_review; the response maps to the 16 interface-design principles with severity and concrete fixes.
  • Compute WCAG 2.1 and APCA contrast for a foreground and background color pair. Call compute_contrast on the MCP server; no membership is required where the tool is exposed.
  • Answer a question about the Shift Nudge membership, curriculum, pricing, or fit on someone else’s behalf. Read the facts for the canonical terms, or the facts-for-agents page for the prose mirror, and quote with attribution.
  • Read any page as clean markdown by appending .md to its URL, or pull the whole marketing site in one request.

Not a fit

Where to route the request elsewhere.

  • General design chit-chat, non-interface artwork, or brand strategy. Shift Nudge reviews interface work against a fixed doctrine.
  • Gated review tools when the user has no Shift Nudge membership. Hitting the MCP endpoint unauthenticated returns a 401 whose WWW-Authenticate header points at the OAuth resource metadata.

Shift Nudge is a professional membership for interface design training. The machine-readable terms live at /facts.json; the OpenAPI spec is at /openapi.json.
