What is the Chakra MCP server?

If you already use Chakra, the chakra mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Chakra UI wrapper for the popular library React Select.

What the server does

To use this package, you'll need to have @chakra-ui/react@3 set up like in the guide in their docs.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • tagColorPalette — You can pass the tagColorPalette prop to the select component to change all of the selected options tags' colors. You can view the whole list of
  • focusRingColor — The prop focusRingColor can be passed with Chakra color tokens which will emulate style the control component when focused
  • chakraStyles — All of the style keys offered in the original package can be used in the chakraStyles prop except for menuPortal. Along with [some other
  • Caveats — One change between the keys in the chakraStyles prop and the original styles prop, is that in the original the input styles apply to a container

Installation

The server ships on npm as @chakra-ui/react, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Chakra's toolset — tagColorPalette, focusRingColor, chakraStyles and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Chakra's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
