Grafana UI MCP Server

# Grafana UI MCP Server Specification ## Overview This document outlines the comprehensive transformation of the existing shadcn/ui MCP server to work with @grafana/ui components. The transformation creates a specialized Model Context Protocol server that provides AI assistants with rich access to Grafana's component library, documentation, and design system. ## Project Goals 1. **GitHub API Integration**: Use GitHub API to access Grafana UI components from the official repository 2. **Enhanced Component Access**: Provide richer component information through multi-file structure analysis 3. **Documentation Integration**: Access comprehensive MDX documentation and Storybook stories 4. **Design System Integration**: Include Grafana's theme tokens and design system information 5. **Performance Optimization**: Cached GitHub API access for fast response times ## Architecture Overview ### Data Source Migration **Before (shadcn/ui)**: - GitHub API requests to `shadcn-ui/ui` repository - Single `.tsx` files per component - Separate demo files - Rate-limited external API access **After (Grafana UI)**: - GitHub API requests to `grafana/grafana` repository - Multi-file component structure per component - Rich documentation and story files - Access to `/packages/grafana-ui/src/components/` path - Enhanced caching for performance ### Component Structure Analysis Each Grafana UI component follows this structure: ``` packages/grafana-ui/src/components/ComponentName/ ├── ComponentName.tsx # Main component implementation ├── ComponentName.mdx # Rich documentation with examples ├── ComponentName.story.tsx # Storybook stories and interactive examples ├── ComponentName.test.tsx # Test files showing usage patterns ├── types.ts # TypeScript type definitions ├── utils.ts # Utility functions └── styles.ts # Styling utilities (if applicable) ``` Example structures from Grafana UI: - `Button/` - Button.tsx, Button.mdx, Button.story.tsx, Button.test.tsx, ButtonGroup.tsx, FullWidthButtonContainer.tsx - `Alert/` - Alert.tsx, Alert.mdx, Alert.test.tsx, InlineBanner.story.tsx, Toast.story.tsx - `Combobox/` - Combobox.tsx, Combobox.mdx, Combobox.story.tsx, MultiCombobox.tsx, filter.ts, types.ts, utils.ts ## Tool Architecture ### Core Tools (Modified from shadcn/ui) #### `get_component` - **Input**: `{ componentName: string }` -

`get_directory_structure`: Replaced with component-specific discovery ## Implementation Details ### File Structure ``` src/ ├── index.ts # CLI entry point (updated for Grafana UI) ├── handler.ts # MCP request handlers (updated schemas) ├── tools.ts # Tool implementations (completely rewritten) ├── resources.ts # Static resources ├── prompts.ts # MCP prompts ├── resource-templates.ts # Dynamic resources └── utils/ ├── axios.ts # GitHub API client with caching (updated for Grafana) ├── component-parser.ts # Parse component files and extract metadata ├── story-parser.ts # Extract examples from Storybook files ├── mdx-parser.ts # Parse MDX documentation ├── theme-extractor.ts # Extract Grafana theme information └── cache.ts # Response caching utilities ``` ### Core Utilities #### `axios.ts` GitHub API client for accessing Grafana UI components with caching: ```typescript export interface GitHubApi { // Component discovery getAvailableComponents(): Promise<string[]>; getComponentDirectories(): Promise<ComponentDirectory[]>; // File access getComponentSource(componentName: string): Promise<string>; getComponentFiles(componentName: string): Promise<ComponentFiles>; // GitHub API operations getRepositoryContents(path: string): Promise<GitHubContent[]>; getFileContent(path: string): Promise<string>; // Caching getCachedContent(key: string): string | null; setCachedContent(key: string, content: string): void; } ``` #### `component-parser.ts` TypeScript and React component analysis: ```typescript export interface ComponentMetadata { name: string; description?: string; props: PropDefinition[]; exports: ExportDefinition[]; imports: ImportDefinition[]; dependencies: string[]; hasTests: boolean; hasStories: boolean; hasDocumentation: boolean; } export interface PropDefinition { name: string; type: string; required: boolean; description?: string; defaultValue?: string; } ``` #### `story-parser.ts` Storybook story analysis and example extraction: ```typescript export interface StoryDefinition { name: string; args?: Record<string, any>; parameters?: Record<string, any>; source: string; description?: string; } export interface StorybookMeta { title: string; component: string; stories: StoryDefinition[]; argTypes?: Record<string, any>; } ``` #### `mdx-parser.ts` MDX documentation parsing: ```typescript export interface MDXContent { title: string; content: string; sections: MDXSection[]; examples: CodeExample[]; metadata: Record<string, any>; } export interface MDXSection { title: string; level: number; content: string; examples: CodeExample[]; } ``` #### `theme-extractor.ts` Grafana design system analysis: ```typescript export interface ThemeTokens { colors: ColorTokens; typography: TypographyTokens; spacing: SpacingTokens; shadows: ShadowTokens; borderRadius: BorderRadiusTokens; } export interface ColorTokens { primary: ColorScale; secondary: ColorScale; success: ColorScale; warning: ColorScale; error: ColorScale; text: TextColors; background: BackgroundColors; border: BorderColors; } ``` ## Data Flow ### Component Discovery Flow 1. GitHub API request to list `/packages/grafana-ui/src/components/` directories 2. Filter valid component directories (containing main `.tsx` file) 3. Extract basic metadata from directory structure 4. Cache results for performance ### Component Information Retrieval Flow 1. Validate component name exists 2. Check cache for existing parsed data 3. Fetch relevant files from GitHub API based on requested information type 4. Parse content using appropriate parser 5. Return structured data 6. Update cache ### Search Flow 1. Load component list with metadata 2. Apply search filters (name, description, tags) 3. Rank results by relevance 4. Return sorted results with highlighting ## Caching Strategy ### Response-based Caching - Cache GitHub API responses and parsed component metadata - Invalidate based on configurable TTL or manual refresh - Store in memory for session duration - Persist to temporary files for cross-session caching ### Cache Keys - `component:{name}:source` - Component source code - `component:{name}:metadata` - Parsed metadata - `component:{name}:stories` - Storybook stories - `component:{name}:docs` - MDX documentation - `components:list` - Available components list - `theme:tokens` - Design system tokens ## Error Handling ### GitHub API Errors - Component not found: Provide helpful suggestions - API rate limiting: Use cached data when available - Network errors: Graceful fallback to cached content - Authentication errors: Clear instructions for API key setup ### Parsing Errors - TypeScript syntax errors: Report line and column information - MDX parsing errors: Provide context and suggestions - JSON parsing errors: Validate and report specific issues ### Graceful Degradation - If story file missing: Return component source only - If documentation missing: Provide generated docs from TypeScript - If metadata extraction fails: Return basic GitHub file information ## Performance Considerations ### Lazy Loading - Fetch and parse component files on-demand - Cache GitHub API responses and parsed results aggressively - Use TTL-based cache invalidation ### Batch Operations - Bulk component listing operations via GitHub API - Parallel GitHub API requests where possible - Optimize repository content scanning ### Memory Management - Limit cache size to prevent memory leaks - Use weak references for large cached objects - Periodic cache cleanup ## Security Considerations ### GitHub API Access - Use read-only GitHub API access for public repository - Validate all GitHub paths to prevent unauthorized access - No execution of fetched content - Secure API key storage and transmission ### Input Validation - Sanitize component names and search queries - Validate GitHub repository paths before access - Limit response size processing to prevent memory exhaustion ## Migration Path ### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure ✅ COMPLETED 1.
