storybook

The Storybook MCP server provides a seamless way for developers to integrate and manage their Storybook components within a Model Context Protocol (MCP) environment. By leveraging this server, you can enhance component documentation and streamline the testing of UI components, ensuring better collaboration and consistency in your design system.

Once connected to the Storybook MCP server, you can interact with your Storybook components using simple commands tailored for component interaction and querying. You can issue commands to retrieve component states, access documentation, and manage configurations effectively. This server is designed to facilitate quick access to your Storybook's capabilities, making it easier to visualize and test UI components in a collaborative setting.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can check this by running node -v in your terminal.

Option A: Quick start with npx

If the package is available, you can quickly start the server using:

npx -y mcpland/storybook-mcp

Option B: Global install alternative

If you prefer to install it globally, you can use the following command:

npm install -g mcpland/storybook-mcp

For optimal performance, ensure your Storybook configuration is properly set up before launching the MCP server. You may also want to check for environment variables related to your specific Storybook setup to avoid conflicts. Common issues may arise if the server is not able to locate the Storybook configuration files, so double-check your paths and permissions.
