Yetty vs TypeUI
A side-by-side look at the Yetty and TypeUI MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Yetty for developer tools work over a hosted endpoint; choose TypeUI for developer tools as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Yetty when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
YETTY_API_KEY. - You want tools like
yetty_status, yetty_authoring_guide, yetty_pull_template.
Choose TypeUI when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.

Tools & capabilities
Yetty tools 10
yetty_statusConnection + authentication status. Call this FIRST. Unauthenticated sessions can still park a website (batch tools) and start email sign-up — the response tells you exactly how.yetty_authoring_guideREAD THIS BEFORE WRITING OR SENDING ANY HTML (no account needed, free, instant, no arguments). Returns yetty's exact structure rules — repeated items sharing one class, semantic class names for field labels, headings before sections, no JS-rendered content — that decide whether the site converts into a clean editable CMS with named fields and add/remove collections, or a wall of generic "Text" fields.yetty_pull_templatePull a ready-made Yetty template file WITH its usage contract (no account needed, free, instant). Four boilerplates, one per store surface: template:"checkout-skeleton" (cart / checkout / thank-you markup with every data-yetty-component and data-yetty-slot mark), "account-skeleton" (the buyer's /account page in the site's own design), "order-status-skeleton" (the /order/{token} confirmation), "pay-skeleton" (the /pay/{token} frame - the payment element stays hosted and non-removable). Every file carries a commented CONDITIONAL REGIONS section showing the component logic grammar (data-yetty-when / data-yetty-each / data-yetty-state; full grammar in yetty_authoring_guide's logic_and_conditional_components chapter). Restyle freely to match the site; NEVER remove or rename data-yetty-* marks; write NO cart/checkout/account JavaScript of your own (Yetty provides the behavior); send the styled file back with the site files. (Connected Live-plan stores can additionally pull 24 gallery-<surface>-<layout> LAYOUT skeletons - different page structures over the same contract, auto-adjusted to the site's own colors and fonts.)yetty_batch_startNo account needed: start a PARKED file batch — send the site now, authenticate after. Returns park_ref (use it as batch_ref). Files are stored safely but NOT processed until the owner approves by email. EXAMPLE: yetty_batch_start {} -> {park_ref:"pk_..."} -> yetty_batch_file {batch_ref:"pk_...", path:"index.html", content:"..."} per file -> yetty_batch_end {batch_ref:"pk_..."} -> yetty_signup {email:"owner@x.com", park_ref:"pk_..."} -> owner clicks the email -> yetty_claim_status {park_ref:"pk_..."} gives you an API key + the build status.yetty_batch_file
