MCP Server
TypeUI MCP is the recommended way to use TypeUI. It gives your AI coding tool access to design skills, UI prompts, setup guidance, and usage status from one connection.
Add the server
Add this MCP server URL in your AI coding tool:
https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp
Then sign in with your TypeUI account if your tool asks.
Create a draft
Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.
Review the markdown
Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.
Files to review
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.
Set up the project
TypeUI works best when your project has one active visual direction. Use one TypeUI design system at a time so your agent gets consistent instructions.
Tip: We recommend removing other UI-related skills and MCPs from this project so they do not give your agent conflicting design instructions.
Start building UI
Build me a landing page.
You can now ask your MCP-connected AI tool to build any UI in plain language. TypeUI supplies the design system, prompt context, and layout guidance behind the scenes.
Review and refine
Review the result in your app and ask for changes:
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 your agent which one to use:
I like the comparison one. Let's use it.
Check usage
Try another request from the same shared prompt style:
Make this dashboard easier to scan.
You can also ask your agent to show TypeUI usage. TypeUI access is required for MCP resources, including design skills and prompt workflows.
Once TypeUI MCP is connected, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell your agent which direction to continue with.
