Element-UI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive information about Element-UI v2.15.14 components. This server enables AI assistants to query Element-UI component documentation, properties, events, and usage examples.

Project Introduction

Vue.js is an extremely powerful frontend framework, and Element-UI is one of the most popular and mature UI component libraries from the Vue 2 era. Although the Vue ecosystem has now entered the Vue 3 era, with Element-UI's last commit being on August 24, 2023, there are still many projects based on Vue 2 + Element-UI that continue to be maintained and iterated.

To enable large language models to more accurately understand Element-UI's components, properties, events, and examples when reading, generating, and completing code, and to further improve our development efficiency in maintaining legacy projects, I drew inspiration from the practices of other excellent component libraries and built this Element-UI dedicated MCP Server.

I hope it will be useful in your daily development and save more time for fellow developers who continue to maintain Vue 2 projects.

3. get_component

Get detailed information about a specific component.

Parameters:

• tagName: Component tag name (e.g., "el-button")

4. get_component_props

Get all properties for a specific component.

Parameters:

• tagName: Component tag name
• propName (optional): Specific property name

5. get_component_events

Get all events for a specific component.

Parameters:

• tagName: Component tag name
• eventName (optional): Specific event name

6. get_component_examples

Get usage examples for a specific component.

Parameters:

• tagName: Component tag name
• exampleIndex (optional): Index of specific example

MCP Integration

To use this server with MCP-compatible clients, you can configure it in two ways:

Option 1: Local Installation

If you have cloned and built the project locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "element-ui": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/element-ui-mcp/stdio.js"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Global Installation (Recommended)

Install the package globally and use npx:

npm install -g element-ui-mcp

Then configure in your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "element-ui": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "element-ui-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The npx approach is recommended as it automatically manages the package and ensures you're using the latest version.

Data Source

The component data is extracted from Element-UI v2.15.14 documentation and type definitions, including:

• Component properties and types
• Event definitions
• Usage examples from documentation
• TypeScript definitions
