MCP Modus

AI assistant for Modus Web Components - Get instant help with component documentation, design rules, and setup guides directly in your IDE.

What This Does

This MCP server gives AI assistants (like Cursor, Claude, VS Code) access to complete Modus Web Components documentation. Ask questions like:

• "How do I use a Modus button with primary color?"
• "What are the Modus color guidelines?"
• "Show me how to set up a React project with Modus components"
• "Which components have a disabled attribute?"

Setup

Choose one of the two options below:

Option 1: NPX (Recommended - No Installation)

For any IDE with MCP support:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modus-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@julianoczkowski/mcp-modus"]
    }
  }
}

Benefits: No installation required, always uses latest version, no permission issues.

Option 2: Global Install

1. Install globally:

   npm install -g @julianoczkowski/mcp-modus

   Note: On some systems, you may need sudo npm install -g @julianoczkowski/mcp-modus

2. Use this config:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "modus-docs": {
         "command": "mcp-modus"
       }
     }
   }

Benefits: Faster startup, works offline after installation.

Removing Downloaded Documentation

If you used the NPX option (Option 1), the documentation is temporarily cached by NPX. To clear this cache:

# Clear NPX cache for this package
npx clear-npx-cache @julianoczkowski/mcp-modus

# Or clear entire NPX cache
npm cache clean --force

If you used the Global Install option (Option 2), uninstall with:

npm uninstall -g @julianoczkowski/mcp-modus
