Muiscan MCP Server

Translate Figma files to MUI Design System components via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

What is Muiscan?

Muiscan converts Figma designs into production-ready MUI (Michael UI) web components via the Model Context Protocol.

Getting Started with MUI Design System

Before using Muiscan, set up your MUI project:

Create Mui App

Get started quickly with the official MUI starter template:

Create Mui App

A lightweight starter template for building accessible, fast-loading interfaces using Mui Web Components.

Once you have your MUI project set up, you can use Muiscan to convert Figma designs directly into MUI components.
