Teaching Your Frontend Tools to Talk to AI
AI agents are already connecting to frontend development workflows through Model Context Protocol, and the results are impressive. From React component generation to Figma-to-code pipelines, there's a growing ecosystem of MCP servers that frontend developers can plug into today. I've been exploring what's actually working in practice - which integrations deliver real value, what patterns are emerging across successful MCP servers, and where the biggest opportunities still lie.
I'll demo some of the most compelling examples, show you how to evaluate and integrate existing MCP tools into your workflow, and share what I've learned about building frontend-focused MCP integrations that developers actually want to use.
