Aura UI — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Aura UI lets an AI agent look up Blade components and their APIs. Use it while building Laravel interfaces with Tailwind CSS 4.
claude mcp add --transport http aura-ui https://aura-ui.com/mcp/auraWhat Aura UI does
The MCP server gives an agent a way to search Aura UI components and check their actual APIs before writing Blade code. The library includes options such as calendars, file uploads, and Chart.js-based charts.
The app needs PHP 8.3+, Laravel 12 or 13, and Tailwind CSS 4. Livewire is optional; the Blade components also work without it. Connect the server over HTTP at https://aura-ui.com/mcp/aura.
This MCP connection does not add components to your project. Aura UI provides a Composer package and php artisan aura:add for copying component source, so installing the server alone does not install the library in your app.
What it helps with
- find a Blade component for an interface
- check a component API before generating code
- look up the parameters accepted by a component
- choose an Aura UI component for a form
Example prompts for the agent
- Find the Aura UI calendar component and explain how to use its API.
- Check the Aura UI button API and show a Blade example.
- Find a file upload component and list its parameters.
