Help agents automatically write and test stories for your UI components
If you already use Storybook MCP, the storybook mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Help agents automatically write and test stories for your UI components.
Welcome to the Storybook MCP Addon monorepo! This project enables AI agents to work more efficiently with Storybook by providing an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes UI component information and development workflows.
The server ships on npm as pnpm, 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.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Patch — Bug fixes, documentation updatesMinor — New features, backward-compatible changesMajor — Breaking changesQuestions — Ask in GitHub DiscussionsPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverDevelopment — The turbo watch build command runs all packages in watch mode, automatically rebuilding when you make changes:Building — The Building tool exposed by this serverTesting — The monorepo uses a centralized Vitest configuration at the root level with projects configured for each package:.nvmrc) - pnpm 10.19.0+ - Strict package manager requirement (enforced in package.json) ```bashThis 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. Storybook MCP's toolset — Patch, Minor, Major and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
