Use TypeUI with Claude

Follow this guide to connect Claude to TypeUI for writing and refactoring frontend UI.

Open Claude

Open your project in Claude or another Claude-powered coding environment with MCP support.

Add TypeUI to Claude

Add the TypeUI MCP server from the project where you use Claude Code:

Run in terminal
claude mcp add --transport http typeui https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp

In Claude Code, run:

Plain text
/mcp

Select typeui, choose authentication, then sign in with TypeUI.

Create a draft

Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.

Choose a themeUse a TypeUI theme as your starting point.Import markdown filesBring existing design-system docs into TypeUI.Beta previewImport from FigmaGenerate markdown from a Figma file.

Review the markdown

Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.

Files to review

The main entry file. It tells AI tools how to use this design system and where to look next.Logo and brand asset guidance. Colors, typography, and spacing stay in their own files.Color tokens and usage guidance for brand, surfaces, text, borders, and states.Font families, sizes, weights, line heights, headings, labels, and body text rules.Spacing, grids, containers, responsive behavior, and layout structure rules.Button sizes, variants, states, icon spacing, focus behavior, and accessibility rules.+14 more

Edit the source files

Adjust the markdown when you need clearer rules, stronger component guidance, or product-specific language. After publishing, TypeUI MCP uses your saved edits when it helps your AI tool build UI.

Publish for MCP

Publish when ready so your MCP-connected AI tool can use it.

Start building UI

Build me a landing page.

Tell Claude what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.

Review and refine

Run your app, inspect the UI, and ask Claude for targeted improvements:

I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.

TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.

After you choose a direction, tell Claude which one to use:

I like the comparison one. Let's use it.

Once Claude is connected to TypeUI MCP, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Claude which direction to continue with.
