The Flowbite MCP server is the official MCP service provided by Flowbite, used to let AI assistants access the Flowbite component library, thereby assisting UI creation and theme generation in AI development environments.
Purpose The tool is mainly used to provide Flowbite component resources in AI-assisted development workflows, and supports generating themes from brand colors as well as converting Figma designs into code.
Main capabilities
- Component access: Access to more than 60 Flowbite UI components, covering interface elements, forms, typography, and plugins.
- Theme generation: Provides an intelligent theme generator that can create custom brand themes based on any brand hexadecimal color.
- Figma to code: Supports copying a Figma node URL and generating code (officially marked as a NEW feature).
- Transport support: Supports both standard I/O (stdio) for CLI and local development, and HTTP Streamable for server deployment and multi-client scenarios.
- Production-ready: Provides Docker support, including health checks and monitoring.
How to use
- Configure environment variables: To enable the Figma to code feature, you need to set a Figma personal access token. This variable is set in the MCP client configuration file.
- Integrate into clients: Official configuration examples are provided for clients such as Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf. For example, Claude Desktop requires updating claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor requires updating mcp.json, and Windsurf requires updating mcp_config.json.
- Local transport mode: By default, stdio mode is used for local development and CLI integration; HTTP mode is used for production environments. After startup, the service can be accessed via http://localhost:3000/mcp .
- Local development and production deployment: Local development uses the default mode; production deployment (HTTP mode) targets multi-client servers and can configure server behavior through environment variables.
- Docker: The project includes a production-ready Docker configuration using a multi-stage build.
- Debugging: MCP Inspector can be used for interactive debugging, and server logs can be viewed for detailed information.
Applicable scenarios
- Quickly generate Flowbite-based UI code in AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf.
- Automatically generate themes based on brand colors for customized design.
- Quickly convert Figma design files into code.
- Production environment deployments that require multi-client access.
