from"Workleap"

Workleap hosts this official MCP server for the Hopper Design System. It exposes current component documentation, design tokens, icon search, Orbiter-to-Hopper migration help and source validation through a remote HTTP endpoint.

Not for: A general-purpose component generator or embedded design canvas. It serves Hopper documentation and tooling and does not register an MCP Apps UI.

>Questions

Is Hopper MCP official?

Yes. Workleap publishes the server in the Hopper documentation and hosts the endpoint on hopper.workleap.design.

What is the difference between the Hopper agent skill and MCP server?

Workleap says the skill works offline and needs no configuration. The MCP server adds current data, fuzzy icon search and the full component API.

Does Hopper MCP show an inline component browser?

No inline MCP App resource is documented. It exposes tools, prompts and hopper:// documentation resources.
