how it works

Search small. Fetch full. Paste clean.

Lists stay tiny, details load only for finalists, and guides turn winners into paste-ready answers.

guide + tokens + files

Beginner rule: status → search-all → get-one → install-one

Never fetch everything up front.

the loop in 4 calls
aura_status
aura_search_all "dark cinematic portfolio"
aura_get_component 732
aura_install_component 732

The exact sequence from the beginner docs — status checks health, search fans out, get pulls one winner, install turns it into paste-ready files.

comparison

One page, two ways.

Same brief — a dark landing page. Left: hand-built from scratch. Right: four MCP calls.

without · hand-built

  • Hours hand-coding from a blank file
  • Guessing Tailwind from memory
  • No tokens — every page drifts off-brand
  • Stock look, zero motion

with · aura-components-mcp

  • 4 calls, ~2 minutes to a page
  • Full source + preview before you commit
  • Design tokens applied first, always
  • Animated, glass, responsive out of the box
  • Award-grade refs folded into the brief

This MCP vs the official one.

Same family, different jobs. Exploring ideas or landing pages → this server. Editing your Canvas or shipping → official.
