Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ballmac -- npx -y @ballmac/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "ballmac": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ballmac/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Ballmac safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry 30 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@ballmac/mcp

An MCP server for Ballmac UI. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex and any other MCP client search the catalog of components, blocks and templates, read an item's props, keyboard behaviour and source, get the exact install command, and plan whole pages from blocks.

It is read-only: it answers questions and returns commands, and never writes files or runs anything on your machine. No account or API key is needed for the free catalog.

Install

The server runs with npx, so there is nothing to install globally. Node.js 20 or later is required.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ballmac -- npx -y @ballmac/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, Developer, Edit config):

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

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

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

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "ballmac": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@ballmac/mcp"] } } }

Windsurf

Add the same mcpServers block as Cursor to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Codex

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.ballmac]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@ballmac/mcp"]

What it can do

Tool	What it returns
`search_items`	The best matches for a need, such as "chat input with attachments" or "online store". Understands common synonyms (modal, navbar, ecommerce).
`list_items`	Components, blocks or templates, filtered by kind, category or tier.
`list_categories`	Totals and every category with its count, so the agent knows what exists.
`get_item`	Description, when to use and when not to, import line, props, keyboard behaviour, dependencies, template pages and the full source.
`get_examples`	The working examples shown on the item's page.
`get_changes`	What changed in an item, version by version (with `since` to see only newer changes), and whether anything is breaking.
`get_quality_rules`	The rules a Ballmac app is held to (states, accessibility, tokens, motion, layout) with why and a good and bad example. Read before writing a component.
`audit_project`	Read-only audit of the project's source. Returns findings worst first, each with its fix. Run it before saying a task is done.
`make_preset`	Make a whole design system (colors, radius, typeface, platform feel, motion) from a description, and get its 16-character code and install command.
`get_tests`	The vitest + Testing Library test that ships with an item, to check it still works after an edit.
`get_install_command`	The shadcn CLI commands for pnpm, npm, yarn or bun.
`compose_page`	A page plan from blocks in the right order, install commands, a `page.tsx` scaffold, and any complete template that already fits. Each section lists the states its block can show, and the scaffold wires data blocks to `useResource` and form blocks to a state you drive. When the request names macOS, Windows, iOS, Tauri or Electron (or you pass `feel`), it also returns the platform feel to install, with the wiring notes.
`get_setup`	How to prepare a project (shadcn init, optional theme, and the registry entry older CLIs need).

Resources: ballmac://catalog (every item with a one-line description) and ballmac://items/{name} (one item as Markdown).

Prompts: build_page (plan and build a page from an intent) and choose_component (find and wire up the right component).

Tools that return lists also return structured content, so clients that support it get typed results.

Things to ask

"Build a SaaS landing page with pricing and an FAQ using Ballmac UI."
"Which Ballmac component should I use for an animated revenue number?"
"Add a login screen from Ballmac UI to this app."
"Is there a Ballmac template for an online store? Install it."

Options

Variable	Default	Purpose
`BALLMAC_UI_URL`	`https://ui.ballmac.com`	The catalog to read, for example a local copy of the site.
`BALLMAC_LICENSE_KEY`	none	A Ballmac UI Pro licence key. With it, `get_item` and `get_examples` return the source of Pro items too.

Pro items

Pro items appear in search with tier: "pro". Their install commands use the @ballmac-pro namespace, and get_install_command returns a proSetup line with the components.json entry the shadcn CLI needs. To let the agent read Pro source, pass your key to the server:

claude mcp add ballmac --env BALLMAC_LICENSE_KEY=your-licence-key -- npx -y @ballmac/mcp

In JSON configs, add "env": { "BALLMAC_LICENSE_KEY": "your-licence-key" } next to args. The key is only sent to the Ballmac UI site. Setup guide: ui.ballmac.com/docs/pro.

npx @ballmac/mcp --help and --version work from a terminal.

Without MCP

Ballmac UI is also a standard shadcn registry, so the official shadcn MCP server can browse it. The shadcn CLI knows @ballmac from the official registry directory, but that MCP server only reads the registries listed in components.json, so add it there:

npx shadcn@latest registry add @ballmac=https://ui.ballmac.com/r/{name}.json
