Introduction

What is the Catalyst MCP Server?

The Catalyst MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that connects the Catalyst 2.0 Design System documentation directly to your IDE. It enables AI assistants like GitHub Copilot to query primitive component documentation, validate design system compliance, and provide contextual assistance—all without leaving your editor.

Instead of switching between your code editor and documentation sites, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "What primitives are available in Catalyst?"
• "Show me the Button primitive documentation"
• "How do I use the Dialog primitive?"
• "Review this component for Catalyst compliance"

The AI assistant calls the MCP server behind the scenes and provides contextual answers with code examples.
