TLDR

The official Mobbin MCP server lets AI coding assistants and agents connect directly to Mobbin's design reference library to look up UI patterns and screens without copy-pasting.

In plain English

This repository is the official home of the Mobbin MCP server. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, a standard that allows AI tools and coding assistants to connect to external services and retrieve data in a structured way. By publishing an MCP server, Mobbin makes it possible for AI-powered tools to query its platform directly, rather than requiring users to copy and paste information by hand. The server itself runs at a public web address on Mobbin's infrastructure and communicates using Streamable HTTP transport. Streamable HTTP is a method of sending data over standard web connections, designed to work well with modern AI tooling that expects real-time or chunked responses. Connecting an MCP server to a compatible AI tool typically involves adding a server entry to the tool's configuration. Once configured, the AI can call the server during a conversation to look up information or take actions on the user's behalf, without the user having to switch between applications. The Mobbin server follows this same pattern, though the specifics depend on documentation outside this repository. The README for this repository is short and does not describe what specific actions or data the server exposes. It points to external documentation on the Mobbin website for setup instructions and usage details, and to a separate landing page that explains what you can do with the server once it is connected. If you want to understand the full capabilities, those linked pages are the right place to look. Who would use this? Developers and designers who already use Mobbin and want to bring its data into an AI-assisted workflow, such as feeding design references into a coding assistant or an AI agent. The repository itself is a lightweight pointer rather than a standalone codebase, so there is little to inspect here beyond the connection details.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to add the Mobbin MCP server to my Cursor setup. What do I add to the MCP config file so Cursor can query Mobbin design references during a chat session?
Prompt 2
Once the Mobbin MCP server is connected to my AI assistant, how do I ask it to find iOS onboarding screen examples from real apps in the Mobbin library?
Prompt 3
I am building an AI design agent and want to call the Mobbin MCP server programmatically. How do I send a request using Streamable HTTP transport and parse the response?
