From the repository

Install via npm with npm install metricui, then import components such as Dashboard, KpiCard, AreaChart, and DataTable along with the default styles. A CDN version is also available for browser sandboxes or environments without a bundler. No additional chart dependencies are required.

`list_components`

List all MetricUI components, optionally filtered by category

`search_components`

Search MetricUI components by use case description. Returns ranked results.

`get_component_api`

Get the full API reference for a specific MetricUI component — all props, types, defaults, examples

`get_component_example`

Returns a complete, working code example for a MetricUI component with the requested features enabled. The example uses realistic sample data and has every relevant prop annotated. You adapt the values/labels to your specific use case — the structure and props are correct as-is.

`generate_dashboard`

Generate a COMPLETE, production-quality MetricUI dashboard with theme presets, MetricGrid auto-layout, DashboardHeader with live status, FilterProvider + PeriodSelector, advanced KpiCards (conditions, goals, sparkline overlays), charts with reference lines and threshold bands, data-driven Callout alerts, and rich DataTable. Returns a full page.tsx file ready to use.

`generate_data_shape`

Generate the TypeScript interface for a component's required data shape

`generate_table_columns`

Generate DataTable column definitions from a list of fields

`generate_provider_config`

Generate MetricProvider configuration JSX with only the fields you need

`validate_props`

Validate a MetricUI component's prop configuration — catches unknown props, type mismatches, deprecated usage, and common mistakes

`suggest_format`

Suggest the right format configuration for a value type

`get_setup_guide`

Get complete setup instructions for MetricUI — install command, provider setup, CSS imports, and framework-specific configuration for Next.js, Vite, or CRA.

`init_project`

Initialize a project for MetricUI — generates CLAUDE.md content with usage instructions so AI tools always use MetricUI components. Run this once per project.

`search_docs`

Search all MetricUI documentation — components, props, types, patterns, format examples, and guides. Returns ranked results with snippets. Use this when a user asks conceptual questions like 'how do I set up dark mode?' or 'what format should I use for currency?'

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Why MetricUI?

You're building a dashboard. You need KPI cards, charts, tables. You reach for Recharts + shadcn + custom CSS and spend days wiring up formatting, dark mode, loading states, and responsive layouts.

Stop assembling dashboards from parts.

import {
  Dashboard, DashboardHeader, PeriodSelector,
  MetricGrid, KpiCard, AreaChart, DonutChart, DataTable, Callout,
} from "metricui";
import "metricui/styles.css";
export default function App() {

  return (

    <Dashboard theme="emerald" filters={{ defaultPreset: "30d" }}>

      <DashboardHeader title="Revenue" lastUpdated={new Date()} actions={<PeriodSelector comparison />} />
<MetricGrid>

          <MetricGrid.Section title="Key Metrics" />

          <KpiCard title="Revenue" value={127450} format="currency"

            comparison={{ value: 113500 }} comparisonLabel="vs last month"

            sparkline={{ data: [89, 94, 99, 103, 109, 114, 127], previousPeriod: [78, 82, 85, 88, 91, 95, 98] }}

            conditions={[

              { when: "above", value: 120000, color: "emerald" },

              { when: "below", value: 90000, color: "red" },

            ]}

          />

          <KpiCard title="Users" value={8420} format="compact"

            comparison={[{ value: 7680, label: "vs last month" }, { value: 6200, label: "vs last year" }]}

            highlight

          />

          <KpiCard title="Churn" value={3.2} format="percent"

            comparison={{ value: 3.7, invertTrend: true }}

            goal={{ value: 2.5, showTarget: true, showRemaining: true }}

          />
<Callout value={12.3} rules={[

            { min: 10, variant: "success", title: "Strong Growth", message: "Revenue grew {value}% this month." },

            { max: 0, variant: "error", title: "Revenue Declined", message: "Revenue dropped {value}%." },

          ]} />
<MetricGrid.Section title="Trends" border />

          <AreaChart data={revenueData} comparisonData={prevPeriod} format="currency" title="Revenue Trend"

            referenceLines={[{ axis: "y", value: 50000, label: "Target", style: "dashed" }]}

            thresholds={[{ from: 0, to: 30000, color: "#EF4444", opacity: 0.05 }]}

          />

          <DonutChart data={planBreakdown} format="currency" title="By Plan" centerValue="$127K" centerLabel="Total" />
<MetricGrid.Section title="Details" border />

          <DataTable data={customers} title="Top Customers" columns={columns} searchable pageSize={10} />

        </MetricGrid>

    </Dashboard>

  );

}

Zero layout code. <Dashboard> wraps all providers (theme, filters, cross-filter, drill-down, linked hover) in one component. MetricGrid auto-detects component types — KPIs row up, charts pair, tables go full width. DashboardHeader shows live status with auto-ticking "Updated Xm ago". Responsive out of the box.
