Telerik Blazor MCP Server

The Telerik Blazor MCP Server enables you to achieve integration with your already existing AI workflows and reach new levels of developer productivity. The MCP server provides proprietary context to AI-powered IDEs, apps and tools. You can use the Telerik Blazor MCP server to ask about Telerik UI for Blazor components, features, or general usage. You can successfully prompt more complex questions and tasks, and generate tailored code that includes Telerik UI for Blazor components and API.

As of version 1.1.2 the Telerik Blazor MCP server automatically recognizes your Telerik license and activates the Agentic UI Generator and the available assistants:

• Agentic UI Generator—Includes all six specialized assistants (Component, Layout, Styling, Icon, Accessibility, and Validator), coordinated by a comprehensive orchestrator designed for complete UI generation.

Agentic UI Generator Intended Use

• Create Individual Components: Build specific Telerik UI for Blazor components with particular configurations and features like filtering, validation, and data binding.
• Create Full Responsive Pages
  • Build complete dashboards, landing pages, and listing pages in existing applications.
  • Generate pages similar to the Progress Design System page templates.
• Modify Existing Pages: Generate new themes inside existing applications. Add dark mode or high-contrast themes.
• Implement Responsive Layout
  • Create new responsive pages and sections.
  • Convert existing pages to be responsive for mobile and tablet views.

Prerequisites

To use the Telerik Blazor MCP server, you need:

• A compatible MCP client (IDE, code editor or app) that supports MCP tools.
• An active Telerik Subscription license that provides access to the Telerik UI for Blazor MCP server.
• .NET 8 or newer

Installation

Use the Telerik CLI and the built-in Getting Started Assistant to handle the entire setup automatically - whether you are starting a new project or adding Telerik UI for Blazor to an existing one.

Follow these steps to set up the Agentic UI Generator and use it in your IDE:

1. Install the Telerik CLI globally by executing the following command in any standard command-line interface (CLI) or terminal on your operating system:

   dotnet tool install -g Telerik.CLI
   

2. Configure the Telerik Nuget feed, activate (update) your Telerik license, and set up the Telerik MCP server with the Telerik CLI:

   • In .NET10:

   telerik setup blazor
   

   • In .NET8 or 9:

   dotnet tool install Telerik.Blazor.MCP
   

   telerik setup blazor
   

You are now ready to generate components and pages using the Agentic UI Generator in your IDE.

1. Create a Blank Solution in Visual Studio, or an empty folder in Visual Studio Code, and open it in your IDE. In the AI chat interface, invoke the Getting Started Assistant:

   #telerik_getting_started_assistant create a new blazor web app
   

Usage

To increase the probability of the Telerik UI for Blazor MCP Server being used, or to call it without the need to mention "telerik" explicitly, add custom idea instructions to your AI-powered tool. Here are examples for GitHub Copilot and Cursor.

Agentic UI Generator

To use the Agentic UI Generator mode:

1. Open the AI chat interface in your IDE—Start a new chat session to begin interacting with the Agentic UI Generator.
2. Start your prompt with #telerik_ui_generator (the main MCP tool to start the agentic workflow in the Agentic UI Generator).
3. This will trigger an agentic workflow using the other available MCP tools to retrieve relevant context based on your prompt.
4. Inspect the output and verify that the Telerik Blazor MCP Server is used. Look for a statement in the output, which is similar to:
   • Running telerik_ui_generator (in VS Code)
   • Calling MCP tool telerik_ui_generator (in Cursor)
5. If requested, grant the Telerik Blazor MCP server a permission to run for this session, workspace, or always.

General Tips

• If you want to prompt for information or code that are not related to your previous prompts, it is a good practice to start a new session in a new chat window, so that the context is not polluted by irrelevant old information.
• To increase the probability of the Telerik Blazor MCP Server being used, or to call it without the need to mention "telerik" explicitly, add custom instructions to your AI-powered tool. Here are examples for GitHub Copilot and Cursor.
