Text to Color Skill

Overview

Text to Color works by analyzing the text provided and converting it to a color code. It uses advanced algorithms to convert the text to a color code and returns the color code.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as TexttoColorSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "TexttoColorSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "color": "turquoise"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about turquoise in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for TexttoColorSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`color`Required	string	The text to convert the color from

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "color": "turquoise",
    "hex": "#66c8b8",
    "rgb": "102, 200, 184",
    "hsl": "170, 47, 59",
    "cmyk": "49, 0, 8, 22",
    "ansi16": 96,
    "channels": {
      "rgbChannels": 3,
      "cmykChannels": 4,
      "ansiChannels": 1,
      "hexChannels": 1,
      "hslChannels": 3
    }
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`color`	string	`turquoise`	The color name derived from the natural language input
`hex`	string	`#66c8b8`	The hexadecimal color code representation
`rgb`Premium	string	`102, 200, 184`	The RGB color code representation as comma separated values
`hsl`Premium	string	`170, 47, 59`	The HSL color code representation as comma separated values
`cmyk`Premium	string	`49, 0, 8, 22`	The CMYK color code representation as comma separated values
`ansi16`Premium	number	`96`	The ANSI 16-color code representation of the color
`channels`	object	`{…}`
`channels.rgbChannels`	number	`3`	Number of channels in the RGB color model
`channels.cmykChannels`	number	`4`	Number of channels in the CMYK color model
`channels.ansiChannels`	number	`1`	Number of channels in the ANSI color model
`channels.hexChannels`	number	`1`	Number of channels in the hexadecimal color model
`channels.hslChannels`	number	`3`	Number of channels in the HSL color model

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
