Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant write Polyxd UI documents, validate and verify them against the spec, and show them to the user as interactive screens in a chosen…

What you can do
  • Get the Polyxd spec as instructions, plus the component list and per-component definitions
  • Validate a UI document and get every issue with its JSON Pointer, component and hint
  • Run the verifier's checks, optionally against a Design Direction and capability registry
  • Show a valid document as an interactive screen in a design-system pack and light or dark mode
  • List design-system packs and search the bundled Polyxd documentation
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to generate Polyxd UI documents and let the user see and interact with the resulting screens inside the chat, rather than only reading markup. Also handy for checking documents against the spec and the verifier's rules before shipping them.
Requirements
Either the hosted remote endpoint, which needs no account or sign-in, or the npm package run locally over stdio with npx, which needs Node.js. Interactive screens require a host that supports MCP Apps; other hosts get a text summary.
Before you install
All tools are read-only and the package sends nothing anywhere, but the hosted server counts initializes and tool calls anonymously when its analytics secret is set. Pressing an action in a shown screen sends the action's bound values, including what the user typed, back to the model as a user message. The hosted endpoint is rate limited per IP address.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Polyxd in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.polyxd%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polyxd": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

README

@polyxd/mcp

An MCP server for Polyxd. The host's model is the generator: the server gives it the spec as instructions, checks the UI documents it writes, and shows them to the user as an MCP App, drawn by the Polyxd renderer in any design-system pack.

sh
npx -y @polyxd/mcp        # stdio

Or connect by URL to the hosted server, which needs no account and no sign-in:

https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp

Connect by URL

  • Claude (claude.ai, and Claude Desktop through your account): Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, No sign-in.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http polyxd https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp
  • ChatGPT: turn on developer mode (Settings > Security and login), then add it at chatgpt.com/plugins with the URL and no authentication.
  • Cursor: { "mcpServers": { "polyxd": { "url": "https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp" } } } in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  • VS Code: { "servers": { "polyxd": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp" } } } in .vscode/mcp.json.

Add it to a host over stdio

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) and most other MCP clients:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "polyxd": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@polyxd/mcp"] }  }}

Claude Code:

sh
claude mcp add polyxd -- npx -y @polyxd/mcp

From a clone of this repository: npm install && npm run build -w @polyxd/mcp, then use node <repo>/packages/mcp/dist/bin.js as the command.

Tools

ToolWhat it doesstructuredContent
polyxd_guideThe spec as instructions: how to use these tools, then the generator prompt the demos use (document shape, rules for generated screens, bindings, actions, every component and its props, the patterns).{ specVersion, guide }, the guide being the same text as the content
polyxd_validateValidates a document. Every issue comes with its JSON Pointer, the component it is in, and a hint saying what to change.{ valid, errors, warnings, issues[{ severity, pointer, component?, message, hint? }] }
polyxd_verifyThe verifier's document checks (staticAudit from @polyxd/verifier/static, so installing the server installs no Playwright), optionally against a Design Direction (an object, or calm-finance / playful-personal) and a capability registry. A compact report.{ errors, warnings, findings[{ severity, check, message, hint? }], direction?, rules }
polyxd_showValidates, then returns the document for display. pack picks the design-system pack (default material3), mode picks light or dark (default: the host's theme). Shows nothing when there are errors.{ shown: true, document, pack, packName, mode?, specVersion }, or { shown: false, issues } with isError
polyxd_packsThe packs: published design systems and original templates.{ default, packs[{ name, displayName, template, package, description }] }
polyxd_componentsThe components with a one-line summary each, or one component's full definition by name.{ components[{ name, category, summary, shell }] }, or { component } with the full definition
polyxd_docsSearches the polyxd.com docs bundled into this version: the sections that best match query, one whole page, or the list of pages.{ sections[{ page, title, heading, url, text }] }, { page } or { pages[] }

Every tool is read-only. data can be passed to polyxd_validate, polyxd_verify and polyxd_show separately from the document; it replaces the document's own data.

Every tool declares an outputSchema (JSON Schema 2020-12, in src/output-schemas.ts, each property described for the model), and every successful result carries structuredContent that conforms to it; the SDK checks each one before it is sent. Error results (isError: true) are not held to the schema: polyxd_show's not-shown result still conforms, the others carry text only.

Resources

  • ui://polyxd/surface.html (text/html;profile=mcp-app): the MCP App.
  • polyxd://examples/<name>.json: the spec's example documents.
  • polyxd://directions/<name>.json: the spec's example Design Directions.

The MCP App

polyxd_show declares _meta.ui.resourceUri: "ui://polyxd/surface.html", per the MCP Apps extension (SEP-1865, 2026-01-26), and ChatGPT's alias openai/outputTemplate. A host that supports MCP Apps reads that resource and renders it in a sandboxed iframe. The page is self-contained: the @polyxd/web renderer, the renderer's stylesheet and every pack's theme, inlined, with no external origins, so the host's default Content Security Policy is enough.

The resource's _meta says so for each host (appResourceMeta()):

  • ui.csp: { connectDomains: [], resourceDomains: [] }. The page loads nothing.
  • ui.prefersBorder: true.
  • ChatGPT's own keys: openai/widgetCSP (the same empty lists), openai/widgetPrefersBorder, openai/widgetDescription, and openai/widgetDomain: "https://mcp.polyxd.com", the origin ChatGPT gives the app's sandbox.
  • No ui.domain. Claude wants a hash of the connector URL there and ChatGPT wants an origin, and Claude refuses to render an app whose ui.domain is not its own format. The page needs no stable origin, so it sets none, and ChatGPT reads openai/widgetDomain instead.

The page speaks the MCP Apps protocol over postMessage: ui/initialize, then ui/notifications/initialized. It renders the document from the ui/notifications/tool-result notification's structuredContent, in the chosen pack, light or dark from the host's theme unless mode was given. It reports its height with ui/notifications/size-changed.

When the user presses an action, the page sends ui/message with a user message naming the action, the button's label and the action's context (the values bound into it, including what the user typed):

[Polyxd] In the "New task" screen I pressed "Add task" (action task.save).Context: {"title":"Buy milk","due":"2026-10-01"}

The model receives that as the user's next message and acts on it. Closing the screen (ui.dismiss) arrives the same way. A host without MCP Apps support gets polyxd_show's text summary instead.

The prompt

The generator prompt comes from @polyxd/runtime, which builds it from the spec. src/packs.generated.ts lists the packs, and src/spec-files.generated.ts imports the spec's component definitions and examples as JSON modules, so the server reads no files. npm run sync -w @polyxd/mcp rewrites both, and the tests fail if either is out of date.

Over HTTP

@polyxd/mcp/http serves the same server over MCP's Streamable HTTP transport, as a web-standard (Request) => Promise<Response> handler. It uses nothing from Node, so it runs in a Cloudflare Worker, Deno or Bun.

ts
import { createHttpHandler, rateLimiter } from "@polyxd/mcp/http";import viewHtml from "@polyxd/mcp/view.html"; // bundled as text
const mcp = createHttpHandler({ viewHtml: () => viewHtml, rateLimit: rateLimiter({ limit: 600, windowMs: 60_000 }) });export default { fetch: (request: Request) => (new URL(request.url).pathname === "/mcp" ? mcp(request) : new Response(null, { status: 404 })) };

The transport is the SDK's createMcpHandler, stateless: a fresh server per request, no sessions. For 2025-era clients GET and DELETE answer 405, as the spec asks of a server with no standalone stream and no sessions. Clients on the 2026-07-28 protocol, which send the version with every request, work too. Around it:

  • Body limit: maxBodyBytes, default 1 MiB, answered 413. It is checked on Content-Length first and again as the body is read.
  • Timeout: timeoutMs, default 15 seconds, for the whole answer. Late answers get a JSON-RPC error: a 504, or on an SSE stream an error for the request's id.
  • Rate limit: rateLimit(request) returns false for 429 with Retry-After. rateLimiter() is a fixed window in memory, keyed on CF-Connecting-IP. It counts per process or per Worker isolate, so it is best effort.
  • CORS: any origin, since the server holds no credentials and no one's data. Preflights allow the headers they ask for, and responses expose Mcp-Session-Id and Mcp-Protocol-Version.
  • Logs: one line per request with the method, path, status and duration. Nothing else: not a body, a header, a query string, an address or an error message.

The hosted server

https://mcp.polyxd.com/mcp is apps/mcp, a Cloudflare Worker: /mcp is the handler above, /health answers JSON, and / redirects to the docs. The view is bundled into the Worker as text (about 2.4 MB in all, 385 KB gzipped). Its rate limit is Cloudflare's rate limiting binding, 600 requests a minute per IP address. That binding counts per Cloudflare location, so it guards against floods rather than enforcing an exact quota. Claude and ChatGPT call from their own servers, which is why the limit is generous. Cloudflare's invocation logs, traces and Issues are off in wrangler.jsonc, so the Worker's own lines are all that is kept. With a POSTHOG_KEY secret set, the hosted Worker also counts initializes and tool calls anonymously (apps/mcp/src/analytics.ts): names and counts only, never a document, its data or an address. This package, and npx @polyxd/mcp, send nothing anywhere.

sh
npm run dev -w @polyxd/mcp-remote                        # wrangler dev on http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcpnode apps/mcp/scripts/smoke.ts http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp  # every tool, in both protocol eras, over real HTTPnpm run deploy -w @polyxd/mcp-remote                     # builds @polyxd/mcp, then wrangler deploy

Deploying creates the mcp.polyxd.com custom domain on the polyxd.com zone. workers.dev and preview URLs are off.

MCP Registry

server.json describes the hosted server for the MCP Registry as com.polyxd/mcp. A name under com.polyxd needs proof that you control polyxd.com:

sh
openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out key.pemecho "polyxd.com. IN TXT \"v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=$(openssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -outform DER | tail -c 32 | base64)\""mcp-publisher login dns --domain polyxd.com --private-key "$(openssl pkey -in key.pem -noout -text | grep -A3 'priv:' | tail -n +2 | tr -d ' :\n')"mcp-publisher publish      # from packages/mcp

This needs OpenSSL 3 (macOS's LibreSSL has no Ed25519). Keep key.pem private and out of the repository. The TXT record goes on the apex, polyxd.com. HTTP proof works instead: serve the same v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=... line at https://polyxd.com/.well-known/mcp-registry-auth and use mcp-publisher login http. It has to be polyxd.com, not mcp.polyxd.com, whose proof would only cover names under com.polyxd.mcp.

The release workflow publishes server.json to the registry on each version tag, once npm has the version, signing in with the private key in the MCP_REGISTRY_KEY Actions secret (the hex string the --private-key command above prints). Without the secret, or when the registry already has the version, the step is skipped with a notice.

server.json lists both the hosted server (remotes) and the npm package (packages), so hosts can offer either. The registry checks the package's mcpName in package.json. Keep both version fields in server.json in step with package.json; a test checks it.

Build and test

sh
npm run build -w @polyxd/mcp     # tsc, then scripts/build-view.ts writes dist/view.htmlnpm test -w @polyxd/mcpnpm test -w @polyxd/mcp-remote   # the Worker's routes

The tests connect a client to the server in memory and call every tool on every spec example and on broken documents; start the built bin and speak JSON-RPC to it over stdio; serve it over Streamable HTTP to the SDK client in both protocol eras, and send the raw requests a client library never would (bad JSON, oversize bodies, too many requests, preflights, slow answers); bundle the HTTP entry for a Worker and check it needs nothing from Node; and load the MCP App in headless Chromium with the test playing the host, from the handshake to an action arriving as ui/message. The browser tests skip when Playwright has no Chromium (npx playwright install chromium).

polyxd_guide

Polyxd guide

Returns the instructions for writing a Polyxd UI document: the document shape, the rules for generated screens, bindings, actions, every component with its props, and the patterns. Call this once before writing your first document.

Takes no parameters.

polyxd_validate

Validate a Polyxd document

Checks a Polyxd UI document against the spec: the schema, ids and references, bindings against the data, actions, and the rules for generated screens. Returns every issue with its JSON Pointer, the component it is in, and a hint saying what to change. Call it after writing or changing a document, and fix every error before showing it.

Parametersdatadocumentrequired

polyxd_verify

Verify a Polyxd document

Runs the Polyxd verifier's document checks: the spec validator, the pattern the surface declares, readable and distinct labels, one primary action per view, at most six inputs per view, entity-first flows, confirmations, and, when you pass one, a Design Direction's rules and voice. Returns a compact report. Example directions by name: calm-finance, playful-personal.

Parametersdatadocumentrequiredregistrydirection

polyxd_show

Show a Polyxd screen

Validates a Polyxd UI document and shows it to the user as an interactive screen, drawn by the Polyxd renderer in the design-system pack you choose (default material3). Shows nothing if the document has errors; fix them first with polyxd_validate. When the user presses an action in the screen, you receive a chat message from the user naming the action and its context; that only tells you their choice, and nothing has been submitted or paid. Packs: material3, antd, bootstrap, carbon, chakra, fluent, govuk, mantine, polaris, primer, radix, shadcn, spectrum, brutalist, civic, editorial, finance, glass, health, mono, neon, pastel, sketch, terminal, wireframe.

Parametersdatamodepackdocumentrequired

polyxd_packs

List Polyxd packs

Lists the design-system packs polyxd_show can draw a screen in: published design systems (Material 3, Carbon, GOV.UK and others) and original templates. The same document looks native in each.

Takes no parameters.

polyxd_components

List Polyxd components

Lists the semantic components a Polyxd document can use, with a one-line summary each. Pass "name" for one component's full definition: every prop and its type, which are required, when to use it and when not to, and how it renders.

Parametersname
