Ant Design Components MCP Server

Ant Design Components Model Context Protocol Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Ant Design component documentation to Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude. This server allows an LLM to explore and understand Ant Design components through a set of specialized tools.

Features

• Easy to use - no need to clone the entire Ant Design repository
• Pre-extracted component documentation for faster startup
• List all available Ant Design components
• Get detailed component documentation including descriptions and usage
• View component props and API definitions
• Browse code examples for specific components
• Search for components by name or functionality

Initial Setup

Before using the MCP server for the first time, you need to extract the documentation from the Ant Design repository:

This will create a data directory with all the extracted component documentation, which the MCP server will use.

Testing the Server

To verify that everything is working correctly, you can run the test script:

This will run the MCP server and test all available tools with sample queries.

Usage

Command Line

Run the MCP server:

Claude Desktop Integration

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, edit your claude_desktop_config.json configuration file:

Location of the configuration file:

• macOS/Linux: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Claude Code Integration

To use this MCP server with Claude Code CLI, follow these steps:

1. Add the Ant Design Components MCP server to Claude Code
   # Basic syntax claude mcp add antd-components npx -y mcp-antd-components
2. Verify the MCP server is registered
   # List all configured servers claude mcp list # Get details for your Ant Design components server claude mcp get antd-components
3. Remove the server if needed
   claude mcp remove antd-components
4. Use the tool in Claude CodeOnce configured, you can invoke the tool in your Claude Code session by asking questions about Ant Design components.

Tips:

• Use the -s or --scope flag with project (default) or global to specify where the configuration is stored

MCP Tools

The server provides the following tools for LLMs to interact with Ant Design component documentation:

• list-components: Lists all available Ant Design components in PascalCase format (e.g., Button, DatePicker)
• get-component-props: Gets the props and API documentation for a specific component (use PascalCase names like "Button")
• get-component-docs: Gets detailed documentation for a specific component (use PascalCase names like "DatePicker")
• list-component-examples: Lists all examples available for a specific component (use PascalCase names like "Table")
• get-component-example: Gets the code for a specific component example (component name in PascalCase)
• search-components: Search for components by name pattern (works with PascalCase patterns)

Examples

Example queries to try:

Note: Component names are provided in PascalCase (e.g., Button, DatePicker, Table) to match React component naming conventions, even though the internal directory structure uses kebab-case (e.g., button, date-picker, table).

How It Works

The scripts/extract-docs.mjs script extracts documentation from the Ant Design repository and saves it to the data directory. This includes:

• Component documentation (markdown)
• API/props documentation
• Example code
• Common props documentation

This approach has several advantages:

1. Users don't need to clone the entire Ant Design repository
2. Faster startup time for the MCP server
3. Smaller package size
4. Easier to update when new versions are released

To update the documentation for a new version of Ant Design, simply run the extraction script again with the updated repository.
