## What it does

This server gives your coding assistant direct access to 93 component blueprints from the pudge-ui system. An agent discovers controls via fuzzy lookup with `search_components` or category filters through `list_components`. Foundation documents arrive via `get_foundation`. When assembling multi-part panels, it pulls combined data via `get_composition`.

Every spec file ships bundled inside the `@pudge-ui/mcp-server` distribution. Operations run in read-only mode, avoiding external network traffic and filesystem modifications. Because the package is pre-1.0, pinning an exact release in your client configuration prevents unexpected breaks across updates.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

```

## When to use it
- retrieve skeuomorphic design specs for 2000s retro UI elements
- feed pudge-ui foundation style guidelines into agent context
- inspect multi-element setups such as audio mixer strips
- search component docs by keyword without browsing a web catalog

## Example prompts
- Search for audio sliders with `search_components` and fetch specs for `vu-meter`.
- Pull extended foundation guidelines via `get_foundation` and plan a retro control panel.
- Get the complete specification for the `audio-mixer-strip` composition.
