Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing Vuetify component information and documentation to any MCP-compatible client or IDE.

Overview

The Vuetify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server bridges the gap between Vuetify's powerful component library and AI-assisted development environments. This integration enables seamless access to Vuetify's extensive component ecosystem directly within your development workflow.

This MCP server enables IDEs and other Model Context clients to assist with:

- Generating Vuetify components with proper props and attributes
- Creating common UI layouts and patterns following best practices
- Providing comprehensive information about Vuetify features and APIs
- Accessing installation guides, FAQs, and release notes without leaving your IDE
- Working with @vuetify/v0 composables and headless components for building custom design systems

By connecting your development environment to the Vuetify MCP server, you gain AI-powered assistance that understands Vuetify's component structure, styling conventions, and implementation details.

Quick Start

$3

Use the hosted MCP server directly:

``bash


Claude Desktop


claude mcp add --transport http vuetify-mcp https://mcp.vuetifyjs.com/mcp
`

$3

Run Vuetify MCP locally:

`bash


Start the Vuetify MCP server


npx -y @vuetify/mcp
`

This command downloads and runs the latest version of the Vuetify MCP server, making it immediately available to your MCP-compatible clients.

Configuration

You can configure the Vuetify MCP server in your IDE or client by running the interactive CLI or by manually updating your settings file.

$3

The interactive CLI provides the simplest way to configure your environment:

`bash


Configure for hosted remote server

npx -y @vuetify/mcp config --remote

Or configure for local installation

npx -y @vuetify/mcp config
`

The CLI will:

1. Detect supported IDEs on your system (VS Code, Claude, Cursor, Trae, Windsurf)
2. Prompt you if multiple IDEs are found
3. Apply the necessary settings automatically to your selected environment
4. Use the hosted server (with --remote) or local installation

$3

Below are the locations and JSON snippets for each supported environment. Copy the JSON into your client or IDE settings file at the specified path.

| IDE | Settings File Path | JSON Key Path |
|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| VSCode | /.config/Code/User/settings.json | mcp.servers.vuetify-mcp |
| Claude | /Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS)
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) | mcpServers.vuetify-mcp |
| Cursor | /.config/Cursor/User/mcp.json | mcpServers.vuetify-mcp |
| Trae | /.config/Trae/User/mcp.json | mcpServers.vuetify-mcp |
| Windsurf | /.config/Windsurf/User/mcp.json | mcpServers.vuetify-mcp |

Local stdio (most IDEs):

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@vuetify/mcp"]
}
}
}
`

Hosted remote server (most IDEs):

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.vuetifyjs.com/mcp"
}
}
}
`

$3

Some tools (like creating bins) require a Vuetify API key. How you pass the key depends on your transport type.

Local stdio servers use environment variables:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@vuetify/mcp"],
"env": {
"VUETIFY_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
`

HTTP/remote servers require headers (env vars don't work for HTTP transport):

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.vuetifyjs.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer "
}
}
}
}
`

The server accepts either Authorization: Bearer or X-Vuetify-Api-Key: headers.

VSCode local:

`json
{
"servers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@vuetify/mcp"],
"env": {
"VUETIFY_API_KEY": "",
"GITHUB_TOKEN": ""
}
}
}
}
`

VSCode remote:

`json
{
"servers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.vuetifyjs.com/mcp"
}
}
}
`

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

If you prefer to run the MCP server from Windows using WSL:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"/home//.nvm/versions/node//bin/node /home//sites/mcp/dist/index.js"
]
}
}
}
`

Replace and with your actual WSL username and Node.js version.

$3

Run your own HTTP server for remote access:

`bash


Start with HTTP transport


npx -y @vuetify/mcp --transport=http --port=3000 --host=0.0.0.0 --stateless
`

Configuration:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vuetify-mcp": {
"url": "http://your-server:3000/mcp"
}
}
}
`

CLI Arguments:
- --transport=http - Enable HTTP transport
- --port=3000 - Port number (default: 3000)
- --host=0.0.0.0 - Host address (default: localhost)
- --path=/mcp - Endpoint path (default: /mcp)
- --stateless - Stateless mode (recommended for public servers)

Project Structure

The Vuetify MCP server follows a modular architecture that separates concerns and makes the codebase easier to navigate and extend:

`text
vuetify-mcp/
├── bin/
│ └── cli.js # CLI entry point with argument handling
├── src/
│ ├── index.ts # Main server entry point
│ ├── services/ # Core business logic
│ │ ├── api.ts # API-related services
│ │ ├── documentation.ts # Documentation services
│ │ └── vuetify0.ts # @vuetify/v0 services
│ ├── tools/ # MCP tool definitions
│ │ ├── api.ts # API tools
│ │ ├── documentation.ts # Documentation tools (includes @vuetify/v0)
│ ├── transports/ # Transport implementations
│ │ └── http.ts # HTTP transport with stateless/stateful modes
│ └── cli/ # Interactive CLI configuration
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
└── README.md
`

This structure makes it easy to locate specific functionality and extend the server with new features.

Development

If you want to contribute to the Vuetify MCP server or customize it for your own needs, follow these steps to set up your development environment:

`bash


Install dependencies

pnpm install

Run development server

pnpm dev
`

The development server will start with hot-reloading enabled, allowing you to see your changes immediately.

$3

To add new features or extend existing ones:

1. Add or update service methods in the appropriate service file (e.g., src/services/component.ts)
2. Register the tool in the corresponding tools file (e.g., src/tools/component.ts)
3. Build and test your changes

MCP SDK Integration

This project uses the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk package to create a Model Context Protocol server that Claude and other AI assistants can interact with. The MCP architecture enables AI assistants to:

- Call specific tools defined in the server
- Receive structured responses in a standardized format
- Provide a better experience for Vuetify-related inquiries

The implementation follows the standard MCP patterns with:

- Server initialization using McpServer class
- Parameter validation with Zod schemas for type safety
- Multiple transport options: stdio (default) and HTTP with session management

$3

Here's a simplified example of how a tool is implemented in the Vuetify MCP server:

`typescript
// In src/tools/component.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
import { componentService } from '../services/component';

export const getComponentApiByVersion = {
name: 'get_component_api_by_version',
description: 'Return the API list for a Vuetify component',
parameters: z.object({
component: z.string().describe('The component name (e.g., "VBtn")'),
version: z.string().optional().describe('Vuetify version (defaults to latest)')
}),
handler: async ({ component, version }) => {
return componentService.getComponentApi(component, version);
}
};
``

Troubleshooting

$3

- Server Not Starting: Ensure you have Node.js 16 or higher installed
- Configuration Not Working: Verify the paths and JSON structure in your settings file
- Missing API Information: Check that you're using a supported Vuetify version

$3

If you encounter issues not covered here, please:

1. Check the GitHub issues for similar problems
2. Join the Vuetify Discord for community support
3. Open a new issue with detailed reproduction steps
