Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/release.yml:37
      - name: Update npm for OIDC trusted publishing
        if: ${{ steps.release-please.outputs.release_created }}

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

blog
list_blog_posts
List the 10 most recent posts from the official Ionic blog, newest first. Use this when the question is about what is new — recent releases, announcements or deprecations. The blog covers both Ionic Framework and Capacitor. Returns `title`, `date`, `tags`, `url` and `excerpt` per post. Do not use this to answer a documentation question: the feed only carries the newest posts, so search the documentation with `search_docs` instead.
component
get_component_usage
Read the official usage examples of one Ionic Framework component, as published on its documentation page. Use this before writing markup for a component to see how it is actually used in Angular, React, Vue or vanilla JavaScript — the template, the component class and the styles that belong together. Call it without an `example` first to see which examples the component offers. Returns the examples of the component with the frameworks each provides, or, when an `example` is given, its code per framework as fenced code blocks — one section per framework, and one block per file where an example spans several files. Do not use this for the component's API reference: its properties, events, methods, CSS shadow parts, CSS custom properties and slots are on the documentation page, which `get_doc_page` returns.
components
list_components
List the UI components of Ionic Framework, optionally filtered by a keyword. Use this to find the component that fits a piece of UI before building it by hand, and to learn the custom element name it is used under. Use limit 100 to list every component. Returns `tag`, `description` and `url` per component, where `url` is the documentation page carrying its full API reference. Do not use this to read a component's API: call `get_doc_page` with the returned `url`. Do not use it for Capacitor plugins or native capabilities, which are covered by the Capacitor MCP server at https://capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp.
doc
get_doc_page
Read the full markdown of a single page of the official Ionic Framework documentation. Use this after `search_docs` to read a page end to end before writing markup against a component, because search snippets are deliberately short and regularly omit required setup steps. A component page carries the complete API reference of that component: its properties with types and defaults, events, methods, CSS shadow parts, CSS custom properties and slots. Returns the page title, its URL, the documentation version and the complete page markdown including code samples. Do not use this to find a page: it needs an exact URL or path, so run `search_docs` first. Do not use it for pages outside ionicframework.com — Capacitor and native plugins are covered by the Capacitor MCP server at https://capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp, Capawesome plugins and Capawesome Cloud by the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp.
docs
search_docs
Search the official Ionic Framework documentation from ionicframework.com by keyword. Use this first for any question about Ionic Framework itself — a UI component and its properties, events and CSS custom properties, theming and layout, the Angular, React and Vue integrations, navigation and routing, the Ionic CLI, or upgrading to a newer major version — because guessing a component property or a CSS variable produces markup that silently does nothing. Returns the best matching page sections with `title`, `url`, `snippet`, `section` and `version`, plus the `parentTitle` and `parentUrl` of the page a section belongs to. The same results are attached as structured content. Do not use this to read a whole page (call `get_doc_page` with a `url` from these results), for Capacitor core, Capacitor plugins or native iOS and Android configuration (use the Capacitor MCP server at https://capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead), or for Capawesome plugins and Capawesome Cloud services such as Live Updates, Native Builds and App Store Publishing (use the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead).

Ionic Framework MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ionic Framework MCP do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_component_usage, get_doc_page, list_blog_posts, list_components, search_docs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Ionic Framework MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 272 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Ionic Framework MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Ionic Framework MCP need an API key?
No. Ionic Framework MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Ionic Framework MCP?
It answers our handshake in 272 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Ionic Framework MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
