Popmelt MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Popmelt, providing access to Talent AI and Taste Profiles for dynamic UI component styling.

Overview

The Popmelt MCP Server leverages the Model Context Protocol to expose Talent AI profiles and styling capabilities to LLMs and other applications. It connects directly to Popmelt's PostgreSQL database to access and serve detailed Talent profiles, including structured metadata and weighted styling attributes.

Features

Talent AI Profile Access: Retrieve complete Talent profiles with their unique aesthetic characteristics and design attributes
CSS Styling Generation: Generate CSS styling rules directly from stored metadata
Dynamic UI Component Styling: Easily integrate Talent-driven design choices into your UI components
Database Integration: Direct connection to PostgreSQL database where Talent profiles are stored
Multiple Transport Options: Run the server using stdio for command-line tools or HTTP with SSE for remote servers

Database Schema

The Popmelt MCP Server uses a PostgreSQL database with the following schema:

CREATE TABLE talents (
  id VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  description TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  metadata JSONB NOT NULL
);

Where the metadata JSON field has the following structure:

{
  "aesthetic_characteristics": {
    "style": "minimalist",
    "mood": "calm",
    "complexity": 2,
    "minimalism": 9,
    "boldness": 3,
    "playfulness": 2,
    "elegance": 8
  },
  "design_attributes": {
    "whitespace_balance": 9,
    "color_harmony": 7,
    "visual_rhythm": 6,
    "layout_density": 2,
    "texture_use": 1,
    "border_use": 2,
    "shadow_use": 3
  },
  "color_palette": {
    "primary": "#2D3748",
    "secondary": "#4A5568",
    "accent": "#38B2AC",
    "background": "#FFFFFF",
    "text": "#1A202C"
  },
  "typography": {
    "headingFont": "Inter, sans-serif",
    "bodyFont": "Inter, sans-serif",
    "scale": 1.2,
    "weight": "light",
    "letterSpacing": 0.02,
    "lineHeight": 1.5
  }
}

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or higher
PostgreSQL database

Installation

Clone this repository
Install dependencies:
npm install
Copy the example environment file and update with your database details:
cp .env.example .env
Set up the database:
node scripts/setup-db.js
Build the TypeScript code:
npm run build

Running the Server

Two server modes are available:

Standard stdio mode (for command-line tools and direct integration):

npm start

HTTP server with SSE support (for remote access and web integration):

npm run start:http

The HTTP server provides:

An SSE endpoint at /sse for receiving real-time updates
A POST endpoint at /messages for sending commands
A health check endpoint at /health

API Reference

Resources

The server exposes the following MCP resources:

Resource URI	Description
`talent://list`	List all available talent profiles
`talent://{id}`	Get a specific talent profile by ID
`talent-attribute://{id}/{attribute}`	Get a specific attribute of a talent (supports dot notation for nested properties)
`component-style://{talent_id}/{component_name}`	Get CSS for a specific component using a talent profile

Tools

The server provides the following MCP tools:

Tool Name	Description	Arguments
`generate-css`	Generate CSS for a component based on a talent profile	`talentId`, `component`, `state` (optional), `customProperties` (optional)
`generate-component-library`	Generate CSS for a complete component library	`talentId`
`query-talents`	Perform a read-only query on talent metadata	`filters`
`analyze-style-compatibility`	Analyze compatibility between different talent styles	`talentId1`, `talentId2`

Prompts

The server offers the following MCP prompts:

Prompt Name	Description	Arguments
`style-component`	LLM prompt for styling a component	`talentId`, `component`, `requirements` (optional)
`create-talent-description`	LLM prompt for creating a descriptive summary of a talent	`talentId`

Example Usage

Using the MCP Client

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js';

// Create transport
const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: 'node',
  args: ['dist/server.js']
});

// Create client
const client = new Client(
  { name: 'example-client', version: '1.0.0' },
  { capabilities: { resources: {}, tools: {} } }
);

// Connect to server
await client.connect(transport);

// List all talents
const talents = await client.listResources('talent://');

// Get a specific talent
const talent = await client.readResource('talent://modern-minimalist');

// Generate CSS for a button
const css = await client.callTool({
  name: 'generate-css',
  arguments: {
    talentId: 'modern-minimalist',
    component: 'button',
    state: 'hover'
  }
});

// Analyze compatibility between two talents
const compatibility = await client.callTool({
  name: 'analyze-style-compatibility',
  arguments: {
    talentId1: 'modern-minimalist',
    talentId2: 'bold-vibrant'
  }
});

Running the Example Script

node examples/generate-css.js

This example script demonstrates how to use the MCP client to generate CSS for all available talents and analyze compatibility between two talents.
