How do I connect to Storybook MCP Addon?
Storybook MCP Addon is available via the package npm:@storybook/addon-mcp, the official MCP Registry under io.github.storybookjs/addon-mcp, the source repository at https://github.com/storybookjs/mcp. Authentication: none. Transports: streamable-http.
When were Storybook MCP Addon's facts last verified?
2026-08-14. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.
The Storybook MCP Addon serves an MCP endpoint from a running Storybook
dev server, by default at http://localhost:6006/mcp over streamable
HTTP. Storybook's docs describe the purpose: agents connect to
"understand your components and documentation, generate stories, run
tests, and more." Tools group into development
(get-changed-stories, get-storybook-story-instructions,
preview-stories), docs (list-all-documentation, get-documentation,
get-documentation-for-story), and testing (run-story-tests).
Two scoping facts from the vendor's own docs: the AI capabilities, including the MCP server, are in preview, and "are currently only supported for React projects." The endpoint binds to the local dev server with no documented authentication.
The addon lives in the storybookjs/mcp monorepo alongside a standalone
@storybook/mcp library and plugin packages for Claude Code and Codex.
An implementation note: the packages are built on the third-party tmcp
SDK stack rather than the official TypeScript SDK. No Storybook surface
names a supported MCP specification revision, so spec_status is
unknown.
Version bookkeeping: the official MCP Registry record describes 0.6.0 (2026-04-14) while npm's latest is 0.7.0 (2026-07-10), and the in-repo server.json on main still reads 0.4.1, so the registry record trails the published package.
How widely adopted is Storybook MCP Addon?
Ranked #10 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 85.55 (snapshot , methodology v1).
