@dotuix/mcp

MCP server for dotuix — lets AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot) generate, pack, and validate .uix files through tool calls.

Tools

Tool	Description
get_spec	Returns the full .uix format spec from dotuix.com/llms.txt
create	One-shot: manifest + files in → packed .uix path out. AI provenance stamped automatically.
init	Scaffolds a new project from a template (blank / restaurant / catalog / portfolio)
write_files	Writes generated HTML/JS/CSS into a project directory (auto-stamps ai block in manifest)
pack	Packs a directory into a .uix file via the CLI
validate	Validates a .uix file and returns errors/warnings
info	Reads the manifest.json from a .uix without unpacking

AI workflow

Recommended: one-shot create

The fastest path — the agent reads the spec once, generates all files in context, and calls create to pack everything atomically:

get_spec → create

The create tool takes a manifest object and files array and returns the .uix path. It auto-stamps ai.generatedBy and ai.generatedAt in the manifest.

Step-by-step (for iterative workflows)

get_spec → init → write_files → pack

Use this when the agent needs to inspect or modify files between steps (e.g. reading back generated content, patching specific files, or validating before packing).

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22
• @dotuix/cli installed globally: npm install -g @dotuix/cli

Claude Desktop setup

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

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

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see the dotuix tools available.

Cursor setup

Add to Cursor settings → MCP:

{
  "dotuix": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@dotuix/mcp"]
  }
}

VS Code Copilot setup

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "dotuix": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@dotuix/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

Once connected, you can say things like:

"Read the .uix spec and create a restaurant menu .uix for Al Madina in Doha with 10 items in QAR, pack it to ~/Desktop/almadina.uix"

"Generate a product catalog .uix with 20 fake items in a clean card grid layout and save it to ~/Desktop/catalog.uix"

"Validate ~/Downloads/app.uix and tell me what's wrong"

The agent calls get_spec → create (or init → write_files → pack) and returns the path to the finished .uix file. The ai.generatedBy field is stamped automatically in every file the MCP produces.

"Generate a product catalog .uix with 20 fake items in a clean card grid layout"

The agent calls get_spec → init → write_files → pack and returns the path to the finished .uix file.
