Provides access to the Zendesign design system, allowing queries about components like buttons and cards, retrieving styling options, and accessing design guidelines from Zendesign
Zendesign MCP Server
Setup and Installation
Prerequisites
Python 3.8+
uv package manager
Installation
Clone or download this repository
Install dependencies using uv:
Running the Server
To start the MCP server:
The server will start on port 9000 using Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport.
You should see output indicating the server is running:
Adding to Cursor
To use this MCP server with Cursor, you need to configure it in your Cursor settings:
Method 1: Via Cursor Settings UI
Open Cursor
Go to Cursor Settings (⌘+, on Mac or Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux)
Navigate to Features → Beta → Model Context Protocol
Add a new MCP server with the following configuration:
Name:
Zendesign
Command:
uv
Arguments:
["run", "python", "server.py"]
Working Directory:
/path/to/your/zd-mcp
(replace with your actual project path)
Method 2: Via Configuration File
Add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration file:
Note: Replace /path/to/your/zd-mcp
with the actual absolute path to your project directory.
Verification
After adding the server to Cursor:
Restart Cursor
The Zendesign MCP server should appear in your available tools
You can now ask Cursor questions about Zendesign components, and it will use the MCP server to fetch real-time information
Example Usage in Cursor
Once configured, you can interact with the Zendesign design system through Cursor:
"Show me the button component from Zendesign"
"What are the styling options for the card component?"
"Get the design system guidelines from Zendesign"
Troubleshooting
Server Won't Start
Ensure all dependencies are installed:
uv sync
Check that port 9000 is not in use by another application
Verify Python version compatibility
Cursor Can't Connect
Ensure the server is running before starting Cursor
Verify the working directory path is correct in your MCP configuration
Check Cursor's MCP logs for connection errors
Component Not Found
Verify the component name is correct (e.g., 'button', 'card', 'input')
Check that the Zendesign API is accessible from your network
Development
This server uses:
FastMCP: For MCP protocol implementation
requests: For HTTP API calls to Zendesign
asyncio: For asynchronous operations
To modify or extend the server, edit server.py
and restart the server for changes to take effect.
This server cannot be installed
An MCP server that allows Cursor users to fetch real-time information about Zendesign design system components.
