Crafting Step by Step (CSBS) is an independently owned and operated tutorial site that turns the best how-to videos into clear written, step-by-step tutorials: every step numbered, illustrated with images from the original video and stamped with a timestamp, with credit and a link back to the creator. Its catalog covers crafts such as knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, card making, paper crafts, jewelry making, resin art and drawing, plus beginner guides, learning paths and product picks. It was surfaced via the MCP registry and its site answers at /api/mcp with a POST-only MCP server.
