How to score your build against a reference site and fix the gaps with Awwwards MCP

Band-map your page and diff its motion against a reference, then iterate to a passing score.

Authorization notice. Awwwards MCP is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA frontend developer who has a draft page and needs an objective check that it matches the structure and motion of a chosen reference.

The problemEyeballing a rebuild against a reference misses section spacing, scroll triggers, and easing differences.

The outcomeA 0 to 100 score with a pass, warn, or fail verdict and evidence lines, plus a list of band and motion differences to fix.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.13 or newer (check with `node -v`)
  • An MCP-compatible coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, or Cursor
  • No API key or account is needed for the core search tools
  • Playwright, as linked from the README, for the live-capture, scroll-map, and verify tools

Steps

  1. Run claude mcp add awwwards -- npx -y awwwards-mcp and install the Playwright setup linked in the README.
  2. Ask the agent to run analyze_page_structure on the reference URL and on your local file:// build to compare section bands.
  3. Run verify_build with the reference URL and your build to get the score, verdict, and evidence lines.
  4. Fix the lowest-scoring bands or motion differences the evidence lines name.
  5. Re-run verify_build until the verdict is pass.

Prompt for your agent

Use the awwwards-mcp server to run verify_build comparing my local build at <build file:// path> against the reference <reference URL>. Expected output: a 0 to 100 score, a pass, warn, or fail verdict, and evidence lines naming each band or motion gap. Verify the score changes after you apply one fix and re-run the check.

Caveat. Verification needs Playwright and compares structure and motion fingerprints only, so a passing score does not confirm visual polish or content quality.
