MCP server for the Web UI Component Specification — behavioral specs, tests, and principles for web UI component libraries
Project description
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
Option 1 — uvx (recommended, no install required)
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.
