Who is BoardUI best for?

BoardUI is best for React developers who build dashboards or AI chat interfaces and want Figma-matched source code.

  • Dashboards and admin panels

    Charts, data tables, stat cards and an app shell share one set of spacing, type and color tokens.

  • AI chat and agent interfaces

    Pro adds agent parts such as a composer with attachments and model menus, streaming task lists and token meters.

  • Coding agents that install UI

    A CLI, an MCP server and an agent skill let Claude Code, Cursor or Codex install real source instead of copying a screenshot.

  • Teams designing in Figma

    Every component is drawn in Figma first, and the tokens in code match the tokens in the file.

How do I connect BoardUI to my AI agent?

BoardUI MCP is BoardUI's official MCP server. Add it to your agent once, then ask it to build product screens from BoardUI's React components and design tokens.

Lets your agent install BoardUI's React components into your repo and assemble pages from them, keeping layouts in line with the system's design tokens.

Terminal
$ claude mcp add --transport http boardui https://www.boardui.com/mcp

Claude Code connects to BoardUI over the web.

BoardUI's setup guide covers the sign-in.
