Wonder Blocks – Agentic Workflows & Storybook MCP

This file helps AI agents and tools work with the Wonder Blocks design system, including the Storybook MCP server.

Installing the MCP (consumer setup)

If you want to use the Wonder Blocks Storybook MCP from another project (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop), you run Wonder Blocks locally and point your MCP client at it.

  1. Clone the Wonder Blocks repo (if you haven’t already):

    git clone git@github.com:Khan/wonder-blocks.git
    cd wonder-blocks
  2. Install dependencies and start Storybook (the MCP server runs inside Storybook):

    pnpm install
    pnpm start

    Keep this process running. Storybook (and the MCP) will be available at http://localhost:6061.

  3. Configure your MCP client to use the local MCP endpoint. Add a server entry that uses the HTTP transport and the URL below.

    Example mcp.json (Cursor and other clients that support HTTP):

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "wonder-blocks": {
          "url": "http://localhost:6061/mcp"
        }
      }
    }

    Use http://localhost:6061/mcp as the MCP server URL. No API keys or auth are required for local use.

Note: The MCP is only available while Storybook is running (pnpm start). If you stop Storybook, your MCP client will lose the connection until you start it again.

Storybook MCP server

Wonder Blocks uses @storybook/addon-mcp so agents can discover components, list stories, and use docs tooling.

When it’s available

  • The MCP server runs inside the Storybook dev server.
  • Start Storybook with: pnpm start (or pnpm start:storybook).
  • Storybook (and the MCP endpoint) are only available while that process is running.

MCP endpoint

Environment Storybook UI MCP endpoint
Local dev http://localhost:6061 http://localhost:6061/mcp

Note: This repo uses port 6061 (not the default 6006). Use the URL above when connecting an MCP client (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop).

Addon configuration

In .storybook/main.ts:

  • addon-mcp is enabled with toolsets: { dev: true, docs: true }.
  • experimentalComponentsManifest is enabled so the addon can expose component metadata.

Typical MCP tools you can use (names may vary by addon version):

  • List components / list stories
  • Get story details (args, parameters)
  • Docs-related tools from the docs toolset

Connecting your MCP client

For full setup (clone, run locally, configure mcp.json), see Installing the MCP (consumer setup) above. In short: run pnpm start in the Wonder Blocks repo, then add http://localhost:6061/mcp to your MCP client config (HTTP transport, no auth for local). If your client expects a different transport (e.g. stdio), see the addon-mcp docs; this repo only runs the in-Storybook HTTP server.

Repo layout for agents

  • Packages: packages/wonder-blocks-*/ – each package has src/, exports in src/index.ts.
  • Stories & docs: __docs__/ – all Storybook stories and MDX live here, grouped by package (e.g. __docs__/wonder-blocks-button/).
  • Conventions: See CLAUDE.md and .cursor/rules/ for coding standards, component patterns, and testing. Use pnpm lint and pnpm typecheck before submitting.

Commands

Command Purpose
pnpm install Install dependencies
pnpm start Start Storybook (and MCP) on 6061
pnpm build Build all packages
pnpm lint Lint
pnpm typecheck Type check
pnpm test Run Jest tests
pnpm test:storybook Run Storybook/Vitest tests

Making documentation agent-friendly

  • Stories: Use consistent title hierarchy (e.g. Packages / Button / Button) and argTypes so MCP and autodocs can infer props.
  • JSDoc: Document component and prop types; the docs toolset and autodocs rely on this.
  • Accessibility: Document a11y in MDX (e.g. *.accessibility.mdx) so agents can reason about roles and behavior.
