Storybook MCP Addon

Welcome to the Storybook MCP Addon monorepo! This project enables AI agents to work more efficiently with Storybook by providing an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes UI component information and development workflows. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Claude Code

claude mcp add storybookjs-mcp -- npx -y @storybook/addon-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storybookjs-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@storybook/addon-mcp"
      ]
    }
