Elements MCP

The Elements MCP server connects AI coding assistants to the Elements design system. It gives tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex direct access to component APIs, design tokens, template validation, and project scaffolding so your AI assistant can build with Elements effectively

Install CLI

Install the Elements CLI to your system. This will add the nve command to your path and provide several helpful commands for working with Elements.

MacOS / Linux Windows CMD NodeJS

Quick Setup

After you install the CLI, the fastest way to configure the Elements MCP uses the setup command. This detects your package manager, configures the MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, and adds Elements core dependencies to the project.

Manual Setup

Claude Code Cursor Codex

After adding the configuration in the root of your project, restart Claude Code for the changes to take effect. The Elements MCP tools are then available for use in your conversations.

Usage

Prompts

Prompt Description Example Prompt /about A brief introduction to Elements /about /doctor Verify Elements setup and MCP configuration /doctor /playground Context for creating playground prototypes /playground Create an example login form /search Context for searching Elements APIs /search What notifies a user of a long running process? /new-project Context for creating a new Elements project. /new-project Create an Angular todo app /migrate Context for migrating from deprecated Elements APIs /migrate Migrate this project from deprecated Elements APIs

Skills

Skills provide persistent context to AI agents for building UI with Elements. Unlike prompts (invoked on demand) or tools (callable functions), skills give agents background knowledge about Elements components, workflows, and best practices.

Skill Description elements Build UI with NVIDIA Elements (NVE). Provides authoring guidelines, workflow steps, and API best practices for creating, editing, or reviewing HTML templates that use nve-* components.

Troubleshooting

403 Forbidden

A 403 Forbidden error means your token has expired. Re-authenticate to resolve it.

Unsupported Engine

An Unsupported engine warning means your Node.js version is out of date. The CLI requires Node.js v20 or later. Update Node.js and try again.
