Web UI Component Specification — MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI coding assistants direct access to the Web UI Component Specification — a comprehensive behavioral reference for web UI component libraries covering component specs, test scenarios, accessibility requirements, and a step-by-step build guide.


What this does

Instead of pasting spec content into prompts manually, this server lets your AI assistant query exactly what it needs, when it needs it:

  • Building a component? → Fetch its full spec on demand

  • Writing tests? → Get just the test scenarios

  • Starting a library? → Get a curated component list for your project type

  • Reviewing an implementation? → Validate it against the spec automatically


Read the specification

Prefer the human-readable version? Download the full spec as a PDF:

Web UI Component Specification (v1.0) — PDF

All exported versions live under exports/.


Installation

uvx web-ui-component-spec-mcp

Option 2 — pip

pip install web-ui-component-spec-mcp
web-ui-component-spec-mcp

Option 3 — Clone and run

git clone https://github.com/gcsebas99/web-ui-component-spec-mcp.git
cd web-ui-component-spec-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then execute server.py.

python server.py

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

uvx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ui-spec": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["web-ui-component-spec-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

pip install:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ui-spec": {
      "command": "web-ui-component-spec-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clone and run:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ui-spec": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/web-ui-component-spec-mcp/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Using the skill

For best results, load the skill file into your AI assistant's system prompt before starting a component build session.

Full skill (recommended for new sessions): skill/skill-full.md

Compact skill (for mid-session use when context is limited): skill/skill-compact.md


Example prompts

See examples/example-prompts.md for ready-to-use prompts covering common scenarios: building a component, starting a library, reviewing code, writing tests.
