NeuralNg Component and Theme MCP Server tools 20
search_componentsSearch the deterministic NeuralNg component catalog, README files, and llms.txt guidance. Omit query or use an empty string to browse a bounded list in stable id order.search_iconsSearch all 6,184 Neural Icons variants by name, category, or common UI intent and return exact CSS classes, smallest category imports, usage markup, and accessibility guidance. Brand icons are excluded unless explicitly requested.get_componentResolve a component and return its versioned public API. Use summary for discovery, standard for implementation, or full for every class slot and example.get_component_examplesReturn bounded, executable examples extracted from the published component README with their heading and language.get_component_contractResolve a component by id, class, selector, or entry point and return its public contract.recommend_componentsRecommend documented NeuralNg components for a UI goal using deterministic intent matching.plan_uiTurn a product goal into a deterministic, contract-backed component composition with exact imports, providers, state, accessibility checks, and implementation order.suggest_form_structureReturn a contract-backed form composition with exact imports, providers, state ownership, accessibility checks, and implementation order.suggest_page_structureReturn a contract-backed page composition with exact imports, providers, state ownership, accessibility checks, and implementation order.suggest_table_structureReturn a contract-backed table composition with exact imports, providers, state ownership, accessibility checks, and implementation order.validate_usageParse an Angular template with @angular/compiler and validate syntax, NeuralNg elements and attribute directives, bindings, required inputs, literal values, icon-button accessibility, standalone imports, provider requirements, and duplicate Toast channels.inspect_projectRead the bounded MCP working directory and return a schema-v2 Angular compiler-backed inventory of NeuralNg versions, templates, elements and attribute directives, exact imports, providers, icons, theme/appearance setup, conventions, evidence, and diagnostics.- +8 more on the listing page

search_bestaxSearch components, props, usage examples, CSS variables and agent skills at once. The entry point — each hit names the tool to call for the full thing. Use this before guessing a component name.list_componentsEvery documented component with a one-line purpose, grouped by category. Cheap — use it to find the right name before calling get_component.get_componentImport statement, summary and prop table for one component. Add `include` for examples, CSS variables, accessibility notes or related components. A dot-path like "Navbar.Brand" answers with that part.get_propsThe prop table for a component, or for one part of a compound family (pass a dot-path like "Navbar.Brand"). Cheaper than get_component when the props are all you need.get_examplesWorking examples from the component's documentation page. Every one is executed on the docs site, so they compile against this version.get_css_variablesThe --bulma-* custom properties a component reads, with their Sass names and defaults. This is how you restyle bestax — reach for these before writing custom CSS. Omit `component` to search across all of them.get_helper_propsThe helper props every bestax component accepts — spacing, colour, typography, flexbox, visibility — and their valid values. Call this BEFORE writing an inline style or a utility class by hand; this library expects those to be props.lookup_bulma_classesThe bestax component and props for a Bulma class string, one row per class: "button is-primary", "columns is-mobile", "has-text-centered mt-4". Call this BEFORE writing a Bulma class by hand, and when converting existing Bulma markup. Pass the tag the classes sit on when there is one.list_skillsThe bestax Agent Skills — task-level guides for forms, theming, layout scaffolding, icons, custom components, migration and CSS size. Read one with get_skill when a task matches.get_skillA skill's instructions, or one of its reference documents. Load the skill first; pull a reference only when you need that depth.
