   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "vengeanceui": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp VengeanceUI/dist/server.js"]
       }
     }
   }
   

   ⚠️ Important: Replace /absolute/path/to/ with your actual absolute path!

   Example on Linux:

   "args": ["/home/kunal/Documents/mcp VengeanceUI/dist/server.js"]
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop:

   • Linux: Press Ctrl + R or fully restart the application

   • Click it to see available MCP servers
   • You should see "VengeanceUI MCP Server" listed

For Cursor IDE

1. Create or edit .cursor/mcp-servers.json in your project:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "vengeanceui": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp VengeanceUI/dist/server.js"]
       }
     }
   }
   

2. Restart Cursor IDE

Optional: GitHub Token for Higher Rate Limits

Adding a GitHub token increases API rate limits from 60 to 5000 requests/hour.

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token:

   • Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
   • Click "Generate new token (classic)"
   • Select scope: public_repo (read access to public repositories)
   • Copy the generated token (starts with ghp_)

2. Update your configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "vengeanceui": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp VengeanceUI/dist/server.js"],
         "env": {
           "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart your MCP client

🛠️ Available Tools

🔧 Development

Development Mode

Run the server in watch mode:

npm run dev

Build

Compile TypeScript to JavaScript:

npm run build

Watch Mode

Automatically rebuild on file changes:

npm run watch

📖 How It Works

1. Component Discovery: The server connects to the VengeanceUI GitHub repository and scans the following directories:

   • registry/new-york/ - Main component registry
   • src/components/ - Source components

2. Intelligent Parsing:

   • Extracts component names from filenames
   • Parses code to detect categories, tags, and dependencies
   • Analyzes JSDoc comments for descriptions
   • Identifies animation, styling, and interaction patterns

3. Smart Caching:

   • Components are cached for 5 minutes
   • Reduces GitHub API calls
   • Automatic refresh on cache expiration

4. MCP Integration:

   • Implements the Model Context Protocol
   • Exposes 7 tools via stdio transport
   • Provides structured responses with metadata

🐛 Troubleshooting

Server doesn't appear in Claude Desktop

1. Check configuration file syntax:

   cat ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json | jq .
   

   If jq shows an error, your JSON is malformed.

2. Verify the server file exists:

   ls -lh "/absolute/path/to/mcp VengeanceUI/dist/server.js"
   

3. Check Claude Desktop logs:

   # Find log directory
   find ~ -name "*Claude*" -type d 2>/dev/null | grep -i log
   
   # View logs
   tail -f ~/.config/Claude/logs/mcp*.log
   

4. Test the server manually:

   cd "mcp VengeanceUI"
   node dist/server.js
   

No components are loading

1. Check GitHub API rate limits:

   • Without token: Limited to 60 requests/hour
   • Solution: Add a GitHub token (see Configuration section)

2. Force refresh the cache:

   • Use the prompt: "Refresh the VengeanceUI component cache"

Components are outdated

The cache refreshes every 5 minutes. To force an immediate refresh, use the refresh_cache tool via this prompt:

"Refresh the VengeanceUI component cache"
