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 file path from a variable packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts:127, packages/cli/src/sync.ts:134, packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts:190

    const targetDir = path.join(componentsRoot, name);

Runs an external command packages/mcp/src/cli.ts:54

    const child = spawn(command, args, {

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 3

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

components

list_components

List Ply registry components filtered by tier, category, or a case-insensitive substring, sorted by name. Not a fuzzy match: search_components ranks uncertain names, and get_component reads one known name. Does not install. To copy a component into a project, tell the user to run npx ply-ui-cli add <name>.

search_components

Rank Ply registry components by a fuzzy or token match when the name is uncertain (for example "dialog modal"). Not a category browse: list_components filters by tier, category, or substring, and get_component reads one known name. Does not install. To copy a match into a project, tell the user to run npx ply-ui-cli add <name> (or local stdio add_components).

component

get_component

Get registry metadata for one known component (deps, category, file list). Use search_components when the name is uncertain. Free source only when includeSource=true. Pro source is never streamed via MCP. Does not install; returns installCommand (npx ply-ui-cli add <name>).

Ply UI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ply UI do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_component, list_components, search_components. 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 Ply UI working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 249 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Ply UI?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Ply UI need an API key?

No. Ply UI completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Ply UI?

It answers our handshake in 249 ms on average, which is faster than 67% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Ply UI open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 10 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
