Al Elements supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for model-driven development.
Copy Markdown Open
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows Al assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other Al- powered tools to securely connect with external data sources and systems. Think of it as a "universal remote" that lets your Al tools access real-world data and functionality.
I Elements supports MCP to supercharge your Al development workflow.
First, make sure you're using an Al development tool that supports MCP:
β« Claude Desktop (Free-recommended for beginners)
β« Cursor (Al-powered code editor)
β’ Windsurf by Codeium (Al development platform)
β« Other MCP-compatible tools
Depending on your Al tool, you'll need to edit one of these files:
β« Claude Desktop: .cursor/mcp.json
. Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json
- Windsurf: .codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
β« Other tools: Check your tool's MCP documentation
Copy and paste this configuration into your MCP config file:
.cursor/mcp.json
{ "mcpServers": { "ai-elements": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "ncp-remote", "https://registry.ai-sdk.dev/api/mcp" ] } } }
Close and reopen your Al application for the changes to take effect.
Test the integration by asking your Al assistant:
"What Al Elements components are available for building an Al app?"
If successful, your Al should be able to list and explain Al Elements components!
You can use Al Elements alongside other MCP servers:
[ ] cursor/mcp.json 0
"mcpServers": ( "ai-elements": { "command": "npx", "args": [-y", "mcp-remote", "https://registry.ai-sdk.dev/api/mcp"] ). "github": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"] }. "filesystem": ( "command": "npx" "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/project"]
| Getting Component Information | |-| | Ask your Al assistant: | | "Show me how to use the Al Elements Promptinput component with different variants" | | Expected response will include current documentation and code examples. | | Building Layouts | | "Help me create an Al app layout using Al Elements components" |
Your Al can suggest appropriate layout components and provide implementation code.

β«The Al Elements MCP server only provides public component documentation
β’ No personal data or code is transmitted to our servers
β’ All communication happens through your chosen Al tool's security layer
β’ No authentication required for public component information
β’ Future premium features may require API keys
β’ Always use official Al Elements MCP endpoints
