The Composables MCP server enables your AI agents to build Compose apps with Composables UI by searching for documentation straight from the source without having to rely on web search and outdated information.

### Quick Start

The fastest way to use the Composables MCP server is installing it with the [Composables CLI](https://github.com/composablehorizons/composables-cli).

Make sure you have the CLI installed:

```shell
npm install -g composables-cli
```

### Android Studio

```shell
composables mcp install --client android-studio
```

Then open Android Studio and go to **Settings > Tools > AI > MCP Servers**.

In the **JSON View** tab turn on the `Enable MCP Servers` option.

For more information, visit Android Studio's [Add an MCP server](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/add-mcp-server)

### Antigravity

```shell
composables mcp install --client antigravity
```

### Claude

### Other

If you are working with a different IDE or editor, and you need support for it, we are happy to add it.

## Configurations

### HTTP MCP Server

The Composables MCP server can be used with MCP clients that support streamable HTTP transport.

Use this endpoint when adding a new MCP server:

```text
https://composables.com/mcp
```

### Stdio MCP Server

The Composables MCP server can also run locally over stdio transport.

Use stdio when your MCP client needs to run local project actions, like creating projects or adding modules:

```shell
composables mcp start
```

You do not need to run this command manually when you install with `composables mcp install`. The MCP client starts it when needed.
