MCP server

Give a coding agent the real components instead of plausible ones.

delacour mcp

An MCP server over stdio, exposing the same functions the commands call. Ask an agent for "a button" without it and you get plausible JSX — the right shape, and none of the parts that matter here: the icon that inherits its size from the button's context, the spinner that replaces the icon so the label does not shift, the expo install route for the native modules underneath.

With it, the agent reads the real component and copies it.

Wiring it up

claude mcp add delacour -- bunx delacour@latest mcp

--registry and --ref work here too, so an agent can be pointed at a fork or pinned to a version.

The tools

Prop

Type

check_project is the one worth pointing an agent at explicitly. When a component renders unstyled or a press does nothing, there is no error message to read — the agent will otherwise start rewriting working code. Those failures are configuration, and this names them.

Copying beats generating

get_component returns the component's AGENTS.md alongside its source, rewritten to cite your own import paths. That document is where the reasoning lives — why isLoading swaps the icon rather than joining it, why a View cannot cascade colour to a Text, why the separator stretches instead of taking a percentage width.

An agent that has read it edits the component correctly. An agent that has not writes something that renders and is subtly wrong.

The same prose ships with the files

add writes each component's AGENTS.md next to its source, so the notes are in your repository whether or not the MCP server is running. That is a real advantage of owning the code: the design rules travel with it.

Without MCP

Every tool has a command behind it, so an agent with shell access needs nothing installed:

delacour list --json
delacour view button --json
delacour add button --yes
delacour doctor --json

See also llms.txt for handing an agent the whole library as context, and Agents for the conventions it should follow when editing these components.
