Magic UI MCP Server

MCP server

from"idcdev"

idcdev maintains this community server for reading components from the magicuidesign/magicui repository. It provides two tools, caches component data locally and can run over stdio or HTTP; despite the name, it does not embed a user interface in the chat.

Not for: A visual Magic UI browser or one-command npm installation. The server returns component metadata and source code, and mcp-magic-ui is not published on npm as of 2026-11-05.
