Complete design directions
Each entry describes a complete website art direction rather than a conventional page template, including palette, type scale, motion behavior, and section structure.
Thanor
Thanor offers complete website design directions for AI tools, covering color, typography, motion, and page structure for more precise creative guidance.
AI-oriented website design directions
Thanor is a library of design directions for websites built with AI tools. Instead of providing editable templates, it documents a complete visual direction for each design, including a hex-color palette, type scale, motion curves with real durations, and a section-by-section structure.
A typical workflow is to browse or filter the catalog, open a design, copy its complete prompt, and paste it into an assistant or coding tool such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0. Thanor also documents an MCP server for retrieving directions from inside supported assistants and editors, although the pricing page currently marks that server as Soon.
Features
Filterable design library
Browse by categories such as Hero, Landing page, SaaS, Agency, Creative, Portfolio, Technology, and Ecommerce, with Popular and New views available in the library.
Whole-prompt workflow
Open a direction and copy the full prompt for use in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0. The copied prompt is intended to provide design context to an AI-built website workflow.
Continuously growing catalog
The library adds new directions every week, with newly added work appearing at the front. Designs whose prompts are not finished are marked Soon and cannot be copied.
MCP access for assistants and editors
The MCP server provides search_designs, get_design, and get_prompt through a stateless Streamable HTTP endpoint. It supports OAuth 2.1 for Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code, and personal-token headers for editors including Cursor, VS Code, Zed, Antigravity, and Cline.
Controlled integrations
MCP connections are read-only: they can find designs and fetch prompts but cannot change an account, plan, saved designs, or other data. Tokens can be revoked from the Thanor connections page.
Use cases
Starting an AI-built website
Browse directions by site type, choose a visual system, and give the complete prompt to an AI builder as a starting point for a new marketing or product site.
Exploring a design direction
Use the category and section-oriented catalog to explore options for heroes, SaaS pages, agency sites, portfolios, ecommerce pages, or other focused interface directions before implementation.
Adding design constraints to generation
Copy a direction into an existing Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0 workflow to add specific guidance about palette, typography, motion, and structure rather than relying on a generic generation request.
Delivering personal or client projects
Use the prompts as a basis for personal projects or client work, then ship the resulting site under your own service or project arrangement. The prompts themselves may not be resold as a separate library, pack, or course handout.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides structured design guidance beyond a visual template, covering color, typography, motion, and page composition.
- The same full library is available across the three paid plans rather than being split by tier.
- Supports personal and client work, while keeping copied prompts and completed work usable after cancellation.
- Offers both a web-based copy workflow and a documented path toward assistant/editor access through MCP.
- The catalog is organized by practical website categories and is updated with new directions each week.
Cons
- The three-month plan limits paid prompt copies to three per day, resetting at midnight UTC; browsing, filtering, previews, and shortlisting do not use the allowance.
- The MCP server is documented but not yet available according to the pricing page, so the direct copy-and-paste workflow is the currently evidenced option.
- The library subscription controls access to paid designs, although prompts already copied remain usable after a plan ends.
FAQ
What does Thanor provide?
Thanor is a library of design directions for AI-built websites. A direction includes elements such as a hex-color palette, type scale, named motion curves with durations, and a section-by-section structure. You open a design, copy its prompt, and paste it into a supported AI or coding tool such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0.
How do I access and use a design direction?
You can browse the library without an account, and designs marked Free can be copied without a card or trial. Paid designs require an active plan to copy. The MCP server is available to paying customers when the server is switched on; it is currently marked Soon on the pricing page.
Can Thanor be used from an editor or assistant?
The website copy flow lets you open a design and copy its complete prompt. The MCP server exposes search_designs, get_design, and get_prompt tools. Search and detail lookups do not consume copies; fetching the full prompt uses the same copy allowance as the website.
What plans are available?
The three-month plan costs $89 every three months and allows three paid prompt copies per day. The yearly plan costs $189 per year with unlimited copies, and the lifetime plan costs $299 once with no renewal and unlimited copies. All plans provide the same library, support personal and client work, and include priority support; prices are in US dollars.
Can I use the output for client work, and what happens after cancellation?
You may use the prompts to build and ship work for yourself or paying clients, but you may not resell the prompts themselves as a library, pack, or course handout. If a subscription ends, copied prompts remain usable and your shortlist remains, while paid designs close and the account returns to free access.
