Pattern MCP Overview

pattern-mcp MCP server checks an agent’s UI requirements against a registered component library or Figma file before implementation. Its core workflow extracts requirements, recommends an existing component or identifies a custom-build gap, verifies the completed file, and records the decision. An optional enforcement boundary can require the check, while ledger features support later review and provenance checks. Reach for it when coding agents need to reuse established design-system components instead of recreating them.

Primary Use Cases for Pattern MCP:
  • Check a requested UI component against an existing code library
  • Reuse matching Figma components before starting a custom build
  • Verify a completed component against extracted requirements
  • Record design-system decisions for later project recommendations
