Storybook Mcp

Storybook MCP

A universal MCP server that connects to any Storybook site and extracts documentation in real-time using Playwright.

Use it with any AI or client that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol)—Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or other MCP hosts.

Features

• Works with any Storybook - Auto-detects format and version
• Live browsing - Real-time Playwright-based extraction
• Auto-detection - Detects Storybook format automatically
• Single file - Just index.js, no build step

MCP Configuration

Cursor — one-click install

Using npx (recommended)

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json or Settings → MCP; Claude: claude_desktop_config.json; etc.):

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

With a default Storybook URL (optional):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storybook-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@raksbisht/storybook-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "STORYBOOK_URL": "https://your-storybook.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

git clone https://github.com/raksbisht/storybook-mcp.git
cd storybook-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storybook-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/storybook-mcp/index.js"]
