MCP server for igniteui-theming - a set of Sass mixins, functions, and variables used to create themes for a variety of web UI frameworks.
The Ignite UI Theming repository collects a set of Sass mixins, functions, and variables used to create themes for a variety of UI frameworks built by Infragistics. The theming package makes it super easy to create palettes, elevations and typography styles for your projects.
This repository is an npm workspaces monorepo with two packages:
Theigniteui-themingpackage is the only published artifact β it includes both the Sass theming library and the MCP server binary.
npm install # install all workspace dependencies npm run build # build theming + MCP in dependency order npm test # run all tests across both packages npm run lint # lint all packages
We provide four predefined palettes - material, bootstrap, fluent and indigo that have all the necessary colors along with diffent variants of those colors to make it even easier picking the right one for your case. Here's what they look like:
To access any of the colors in the palettes, you can use thecolorfunction:
background: color($light-material-palette, 'primary', 500);
You can take a further look on what color functions and mixins the package contains and how to use them in the[](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-theming/wiki/Colors-(Draft))<<<Colors Wiki Page
Another valuable module of our theming package is the typography, helping you have consistency all over your project. There are again four typography presets for the four themes that we provide out of the box.
You can set any of the typefaces by using thetypographymixin, which accepts 2 arguments(font-family and type-scale). By default the typography is using the material typeface and type-scale.
@include typography($font-family: $material-typeface, $type-scale: $material-type-scale);
Learn more about the typography module in the package by checking out the[](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-theming/wiki/Typography-(Draft))<<<Typography Wiki Page
The theming package is providing one preset of shadows that can be used to give your components a lift. They're super helpful using with buttons, cards, navigation bars, etc.
You can set elevations 0-24, by using theelevationfunction, which accepts the elevation level as an argument:
Learn more about elevations and their abilities in the[](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-theming/wiki/Elevations-(draft))<<<Elevations Wiki Page
In order to use the Ignite UI Theming in your application you should install theigniteui-themingpackage:
Next, you will need touseit in the file that you want like this:
@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/' as ;
You can alsousejust a fraction of the package:
@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/sass/color' as ;
We provide presets formaterial, bootstrap, fluent and indigothemes for the color(light and dark palettes), typography and elevations fractions. You can import them into your scss file like this:
@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/sass/typography/presets' as ;
You can read more about what the package contains on theWiki page
To scan the project for linting errors, run
Run frompackages/theming. Pass the palette (material,bootstrap,fluent,indigo) and variant (lightordark).
npm run preview:palette -- --palette=material --variant=light
The Ignite UI Theming package includes aModel Context Protocol (MCP)server that enables AI assistants to generate production-ready theming code for your Ignite UI applications. This MCP server is part of the largerAI-assisted development toolchainfor Ignite UI.
The Model Context Protocol allows AI assistants (like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and others) to connect to external tools and data sources. The Ignite UI Theming MCP server acts as an expert theming assistant that can:
- π¨Generate color paletteswith automatic shade variations
- πCreate typography systemsfollowing design standards
- πBuild complete themesfor light and dark modes
- π―Customize componentswith design tokens
- β
Validate colorsfor accessibility compliance
The MCP server works with any MCP-compatible client. Here are setup instructions for popular clients:
For local development- Create or edit.vscode/mcp.json:
{ "servers": { "igniteui-theming": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/igniteui-theming/packages/theming/dist/mcp/index.js"] } } }
{ "servers": { "igniteui-theming": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "igniteui-theming", "igniteui-theming-mcp"] } } }
- Go toSettings β Tools β AI Assistant β MCP Servers
- Click+ Add MCP Server
- Configure:
- Name:igniteui-theming
- Command:node(for local) ornpx(for package)
- Arguments:
- Local:/absolute/path/to/igniteui-theming/packages/theming/dist/mcp/index.js
- Package:igniteui-theming igniteui-theming-mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "igniteui-theming": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "igniteui-theming", "igniteui-theming-mcp"] } } }
Create or edit.cursor/mcp.jsonin your project:
{ "mcpServers": { "igniteui-theming": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/igniteui-theming/packages/theming/dist/mcp/index.js"] } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "igniteui-theming": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "igniteui-theming", "igniteui-theming-mcp"] } } }
Simply describe your theme to your AI assistant:
"Create a Material Design dark theme for my Angular app with that takes inspiration from the Gruvbox color scheme."
The AI will generate production-ready Sass code with:
- Color palette with all shade variations
- Typography setup with proper type scales
- Elevation shadows
- Platform-specific imports and configuration
"Generate a light theme palette using teal as primary and purple as secondary"
Get perfectly calculated color shades following design system standards.
"Set up typography using Inter font with Material Design type scale for Web Components"
Get proper typography configuration with font families and responsive type scales.
"What design tokens are available for the button component?"
"Create a flat button theme with purple background and white text"
Discover and customize individual component styles using design tokens.
The MCP server provides8 toolsand16 resources:
