    "mui-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "C:\\Users\\TejasBorate\\Desktop\\MUI-MCP-SERVER",
        "run",
        "mui-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

macOS

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mui-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/MUI-MCP-SERVER",
        "run",
        "mui-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Running the Server

How It Works

This server uses dynamic fetching to scrape component information directly from MUI's official documentation:

1. On each request, it fetches the latest component data from mui.com

2. Parses descriptions, props, and code examples from the docs

3. Returns formatted, ready-to-use component information

4. No static data or cache - always current with MUI releases

To add more components, edit COMPONENT_URLS in src/mui_mcp_server/mui_fetcher.py:

COMPONENT_URLS = {
    "YourComponent": "/material-ui/react-your-component/",
}
