There is already a "## Prerequisites" section later in this file (project prerequisites). Having two sections with the same heading can be confusing; consider renaming this one (e.g., "Tooling prerequisites") or merging the MCP requirement into the existing prerequisites list.

# Setting Up the Ignite UI CLI MCP Server

The Ignite UI CLI MCP server enables AI assistants to generate production-ready theming code. It must be configured in your editor before the theming tools become available.

## VS Code

Create or edit `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:

```json
{
"servers": {
"igniteui-cli": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "igniteui-cli@next", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```

This works whether `igniteui-cli` is installed locally in `node_modules` or needs to be pulled from the npm registry — `npx -y` handles both cases.

## Cursor

Create or edit `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"igniteui-cli": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "igniteui-cli@next", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```

## Claude Desktop

Edit the Claude Desktop config file:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"igniteui-cli": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "igniteui-cli@next", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```

## WebStorm / JetBrains IDEs

1. Go to **Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → MCP Servers**
2. Click **+ Add MCP Server**
3. Set Command to `npx` and Arguments to `igniteui-cli@next mcp`
4. Click OK and restart the AI Assistant

## Verifying the Setup

After configuring the MCP server, ask your AI assistant:

> "List all available Ignite UI components"

If the MCP server is running, the `list_components` tool will return all available components for the detected framework.
