A Statuspage at magicpatterns.statuspage.io with incident history, but its two components are Web Platform and Figma Plugin, with nothing for the API or MCP server (15 of 20). The history page and Atom feed post no incident since 9 January 2026, so the 90 days before this check are clean as far as the page covers (30). The page's /api/ path is disallowed by its robots.txt, so the JSON feeds weren't used. Rate limit published as 1,000 generations per 10 hours per key, with polling no faster than once every 60 seconds (15). No 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance and no idempotency keys. Design-system writes take a `baseArtifactId` and return 409 on a concurrent change, with re-read-and-retry advice (5 of 15). No SLA found below Enterprise's custom contracts (0). The MCP server and v3 API carry no beta label (10). 15 + 30 + 15 + 5 + 0 + 10 = 75.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (15): No status page found (0). No history (5). No limits found (0). No retry guidance (0). No SLA (0). Not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 15.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Magic Patterns +39\n\n- Magic Patterns (84): The MCP server is closed, so its tool definitions weren't read. The v3 API has an OpenAPI 3.0.3 description, served as a block in each API reference page; the file llms.txt links at /docs/openapi-v3.yml answered with a not-found page (20 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every docs page (10). The tools page sets out four workflows with call order, says when to poll and how often, splits read from write tools and warns that the user may edit at any time (17 of 20). Parameters are typed and marked required, the feedback `category` is an enum, and file writes take an array of name and content pairs (10 of 15). Request and response examples, an error table (400, 401, 402, 403) and 409 behaviour on writes (12 of 15). Versioned /v3 paths, a v2 deprecation notice and a dated product changelog (15). 20 + 10 + 17 + 10 + 12 + 15 = 84.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (45): Schemas not read without sign-in (15 of 25). No llms.txt read (0). Tools grouped by job (find, organise, delete, import, review, React), with a help tool that maps old names to new calls (14 of 20). Inputs not verifiable (5 of 15). A tool that returns any action's fields with an example (8 of 15). Registry 3.0.0 on 4 November; no changelog (3 of 15). 15 + 0 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 3 = 45.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Magic Patterns +38\n\n- Magic Patterns (60): Closed service under terms of service last updated 1 April 2025 (15). The privacy policy of the same date keeps personal data as long as necessary with no periods. The terms let Magic Patterns train on Free plan inputs and outputs and show Free plan designs publicly, and rule out training on paid plans. The subprocessor list sits in the Trust Center, which wasn't readable (14 of 30). No deprecation policy. v2 is 'being deprecated and will be removed in a future release' with no date, and the terms allow any part of the service to be discontinued at any time (5 of 20). The security page names Render and MongoDB Atlas as hosting, and the full subprocessor list wasn't read (8 of 20). 15 + 14 + 5 + 8 = 42.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (22): Terms and privacy render with script and weren't readable (0). Data handling not read (0). A tool that maps old tool names to new calls eased the 3.0 change, no dates (5 of 20). Subprocessors not found (0). 0 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 5.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Magic Patterns +25\n\n- Magic Patterns (70): Changelog entry on 5 November 2026, the day before this check (30). Entries on twelve dates since 8 August, among them 23 September and 12 to 30 October (20). Closed service with a public changelog, email support within one to two business days, in-app chat and a Slack community. We didn't test them (12 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry (searches for magic-patterns and magicpatterns returned nothing of theirs). Official Claude connector, Cursor plugin and Codex plugin, and no SDKs (5 of 15). No public package or repository to check (3 of 10). 30 + 20 + 12 + 5 + 3 = 70.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (45): Registry 3.0.0 and repository on 4 November 2026 (30). Dated releases not found (0). Issues not read (0). Official registry entry ai.uxpilot/uxpilot (15). README-only repository (0). 30 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 45. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Magic Patterns +21\n\n- Magic Patterns (67): 24 documented tools (15 for 11 to 30), plus 5 back for the read-only endpoint that registers only 12 (20 of 25). Message history pages by 10 and version history by 20 with `skip`, and file reads take a list of names (14 of 20). Documented status codes, a 402 that leaves reads working and non-blocking `validationErrors` on design-system writes (15 of 20). No idempotency keys; 409 conflict checks on design-system writes, and annotations couldn't be read on the closed server (10 of 20). `create_design` needs no parameter and makes a blank scaffold, but there is no official SDK (8 of 15). 20 + 14 + 15 + 10 + 8 = 67.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (46): Tool count not published; grouped actions (10). Search by keyword and list calls (10 of 20). No documented errors (3 of 20). 'Nothing is deleted' by the organise tools, and deletes run only once the user confirms (15 of 20). OAuth or a key, no SDKs (8 of 15). 10 + 10 + 3 + 15 + 8 = 46.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Magic Patterns +16\n\n- Magic Patterns (55): OAuth 2.1 with PKCE S256, dynamic registration and a device flow, issued by oauth.magicpatterns.com with WorkOS keys. Scopes are openid, email, profile and offline_access only, so a token carries the user's whole workspace role. API keys are shown once, with no scopes, expiry or rotation documented (22 of 30). The read-only endpoint doesn't register the 13 tools that create, change or publish. There is no confirmation step on the write endpoint (14 of 20). Tools return design code and chat history that collaborators wrote, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15). `x-mp-agent-name` attributes changes in the UI, and audit logs come with Enterprise only (8 of 15). The security page describes encryption, logging and the Render and MongoDB Atlas setup and points to SOC 2 reports in a Trust Center drawn by script, which wasn't read. No security.txt, disclosure policy or bug bounty found (8 of 20). 22 + 14 + 3 + 8 + 8 = 55.\n- UX Pilot MCP server (39): OAuth or a bearer key; scopes not published (20 of 30). Organise tools never delete, and deletes need confirmation (14 of 20). Imported AI output and comments are third-party text; no injection guidance (3 of 15). No audit log (0). No security programme found (2 of 20). 20 + 14 + 3 + 0 + 2 = 39.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Magic Patterns | UX Pilot MCP server | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 75 | 15 | Magic Patterns +60 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 84 | 45 | Magic Patterns +39 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 46 | Magic Patterns +21 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 55 | 39 | Magic Patterns +16 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 23 | 20 | Magic Patterns +3 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 45 | Magic Patterns +25 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 22 | Magic Patterns +38 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **63.4 · B** | **33 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Magic Patterns | UX Pilot MCP server |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | MCP server |\n| Vendor | North Park Labs, Inc.

MCP access needs a paid seat from $20 a month, OAuth scopes don't narrow access below the user's role, and the status page doesn't track the API or MCP server.\n\n**UX Pilot MCP server.** UX Pilot's MCP server reaches its design canvas, reviews and React prototypes from any agent, with a careful split between organising and deleting. Little else is public, no status page, limits, errors or readable legal pages.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Magic Patterns\n\n1. Use https://mcp.magicpatterns.com/mcp/readonly when the task only reads designs\n2. Call `get_design_status` before any change and poll it no more than once every 60 seconds\n3. Pass `baseArtifactId` from `get_design_system` on writes, and on 409 re-read before retrying\n4. Treat a 402 as out of credits and ask the user; read tools keep working\n5. Send `x-mp-agent-name` so the user sees which agent made a change\n\n### UX Pilot MCP server\n\n1. Ask the help tool for an action's fields before calling it\n2. Delete only after the user confirms\n3. Treat imported AI output and comments as untrusted\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Magic Patterns or UX Pilot MCP server?\n\nMagic Patterns scores 63.4 (B) on agent readiness against UX Pilot MCP server's 33 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Magic Patterns and UX Pilot MCP server need an API key?\n\nMagic Patterns takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.
