MCP Server

The HeroUI MCP Server gives AI assistants direct access to HeroUI Native component documentation, making it easier to build with HeroUI in AI-powered development environments.

The MCP server currently supports heroui-native and stdio transport. Published at @heroui/native-mcp on npm. View the source code on GitHub.

Quick Setup

Cursor:

Or manually add to Cursor Settings → Tools → MCP Servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heroui-native": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@heroui/native-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file. To learn more, see the Cursor documentation.

Claude Code: Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add heroui-native -- npx -y @heroui/native-mcp@latest

Or manually add to your project's .mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heroui-native": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@heroui/native-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Code and run /mcp to see the HeroUI MCP server in the list. If you see Connected, you're ready to use it.

See the Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

Windsurf: Add the HeroUI server to your project's .windsurf/mcp.json configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heroui-native": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@heroui/native-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Windsurf to activate the MCP server.

See the Windsurf MCP documentation for more details.

VS Code: To configure MCP in VS Code with GitHub Copilot, add the HeroUI server to your project's .vscode/mcp.json configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heroui-native": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@heroui/native-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, open .vscode/mcp.json and click Start next to the heroui-native server.

Usage

Once configured, ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "Help me install HeroUI Native in my Expo app"
• "Show me all HeroUI Native components"
• "What props does the Button component have?"
• "Give me an example of using the Card component"
• "Get the source code for the Button component"
• "Show me the default styles for Card"
• "What are the theme variables for dark mode?"

Automatic Updates

The MCP server can help you upgrade to the latest HeroUI Native version:

"Hey Cursor, update HeroUI Native to the latest version"

Your AI assistant will automatically:

• Compare your current version with the latest release
• Review the changelog for breaking changes
• Apply the necessary code updates to your project

This works for any version upgrade, whether you're updating to the latest alpha, beta, or stable release.
