Flowbite MCP vs Primitiv
A side-by-side look at the Flowbite MCP and Primitiv MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Flowbite MCP for architecture & design work as a local process; choose Primitiv for architecture & design as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Flowbite MCP when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Architecture & Design domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
- You have the keys it needs:
FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN, MCP_TRANSPORT_MODE, MCP_PORT, MCP_HOST, MCP_CORS_ORIGINS. - You want tools like
convert-figma-to-code, generate-theme.
Choose Primitiv when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Architecture & Design domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: No auth required.
- You want tools like

Tools & capabilities
Flowbite MCP tools 2
convert-figma-to-codeFetches a Figma node and its rendered image from the Figma API and converts it to a code block. Requires FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to be set.generate-themeGenerates a custom Flowbite theme CSS file based on a brand color (hex format) and user instructions. The AI will intelligently analyze the instructions and customize ALL theme variables (border radius, spacing, colors, typography, etc.) to match the desired aesthetic. This tool creates color shades and variations, adapting the entire theme system to match your brand identity.
Primitiv tools 6
get_design_contextGet tokens, components, conflicts, inferred rules, and violation count. Default (no category) returns a summary with counts. Pass `category: "all" \get_tokenLook up a specific token by name. Pass `category` to narrow search (e.g. `"colors"`, `"spacing"`, `"borderRadius"`); aliases like `"radius"` / `"z-index"` are normalized.get_componentLook up a specific component by name. Returns props, variants, source provenance, and `kind` — `component`, `screen`, `provider`, `icon`, or `other`, so agents reuse real UI and skip screens/providers/icons.get_conflictsGet conflicts between sources. Pass `type: "all" \get_inferred_rulesGet the design rules Primitiv has extracted from your codebase patterns. Pass `category` to filter.get_violationsList token-misuse violations — hardcoded literals in source that bypass the contract, with a suggested token when one fits. Pass `category: "all" \

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Flowbite MCP is listed as free. Auth: api key required. Primitiv is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add themesberg-flowbite-mcp and ai-by-design-primitiv as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
