Composer Kit MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing Composer Kit UI components documentation, examples, and usage information. This server provides comprehensive access to the Composer Kit React component library designed for building web3 applications on the Celo blockchain.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/celo-org/composer-kit-mcp
cd composer-kit-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -e .

MCP Client Setup

Setting up in Cursor

1. Install the MCP server (if not already done):

   pip install composer-kit-mcp

2. Configure Cursor by adding the MCP server to your Cursor settings:

   • Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
   • Navigate to "Features" → "Model Context Protocol"
   • Add a new MCP server with the following configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "composer-kit-mcp": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["composer-kit-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }

3. Restart Cursor to load the MCP server

4. Verify the setup by asking Cursor about Composer Kit components:

   • "What Composer Kit components are available?"
   • "Show me how to use the Wallet component"
   • "Search for payment-related components"

Setting up in Claude Desktop

1. Install the MCP server (if not already done):

   pip install composer-kit-mcp

2. Locate your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

3. Edit the config file to add the MCP server:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "composer-kit-mcp": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["composer-kit-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }

   If the file doesn't exist, create it with the above content.

4. Restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server

5. Verify the setup by asking Claude about Composer Kit:

   • Look for the 🔌 icon in the chat interface indicating MCP tools are available
   • Ask: "What Composer Kit components can you help me with?"
   • Try: "Show me examples of using the Payment component"

Alternative Installation Methods

Using pipx (Recommended for isolation)

# Install pipx if you haven't already
pip install pipx

# Install composer-kit-mcp in an isolated environment
pipx install composer-kit-mcp

# The command will be available globally
composer-kit-mcp

Using virtual environment

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv composer-kit-mcp-env
source composer-kit-mcp-env/bin/activate  # On Windows: composer-kit-mcp-env\Scripts\activate

# Install the package
pip install composer-kit-mcp

# Use the full path in your MCP config
# e.g., /path/to/composer-kit-mcp-env/bin/composer-kit-mcp

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Command not found: Make sure the package is installed and the command is in your PATH

   which composer-kit-mcp  # Should show the path to the command

2. Permission errors: Try installing with --user flag or use pipx

   pip install --user composer-kit-mcp

3. MCP server not connecting: Check that the command path in your config is correct

   composer-kit-mcp  # Should start the server (will wait for input)

4. Python version issues: Ensure you're using Python 3.11 or higher

   python --version  # Should be 3.11+

Debugging

To test if the MCP server is working correctly:

# Test the server directly
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list", "params": {}}' | composer-kit-mcp

This should return a JSON response with the available tools.

Usage

Running the Server

# Run the MCP server
python -m composer_kit_mcp.server

# Or use the CLI entry point
composer-kit-mcp
