Popmelt MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Popmelt, providing access to Talent AI and Taste Profiles for dynamic UI component styling.
Overview
The Popmelt MCP Server leverages the Model Context Protocol to expose Talent AI profiles and styling capabilities to LLMs and other applications. It connects directly to Popmelt's PostgreSQL database to access and serve detailed Talent profiles, including structured metadata and weighted styling attributes.
Features
- Talent AI Profile Access : Retrieve complete Talent profiles with their unique aesthetic characteristics and design attributes
- CSS Styling Generation : Generate CSS styling rules directly from stored metadata
- Dynamic UI Component Styling : Easily integrate Talent-driven design choices into your UI components
- Database Integration : Direct connection to PostgreSQL database where Talent profiles are stored
- Multiple Transport Options : Run the server using stdio for command-line tools or HTTP with SSE for remote servers

Database Schema
The Popmelt MCP Server uses a PostgreSQL database with the following schema:
CREATE TABLE talents (
id VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
description TEXT,
created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
metadata JSONB NOT NULL
);
Where the metadata
JSON field has the following structure:
{
"aesthetic_characteristics": {
"style": "minimalist",
"mood": "calm",
"complexity": 2,
"minimalism": 9,
"boldness": 3,
"playfulness": 2,
"elegance": 8
},
"design_attributes": {
"whitespace_balance": 9,
"color_harmony": 7,
"visual_rhythm": 6,
"layout_density": 2,
"texture_use": 1,
"border_use": 2,
"shadow_use": 3
},
"color_palette": {
"primary": "#2D3748",
"secondary": "#4A5568",
"accent": "#38B2AC",
"background": "#FFFFFF",
"text": "#1A202C"
},
"typography": {
"headingFont": "Inter, sans-serif",

}
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher
- PostgreSQL database
Installation
Clone this repository
Install dependencies:
npm install
Copy the example environment file and update with your database details:
cp .env.example .env
Set up the database:
node scripts/setup-db.js
Build the TypeScript code:
npm run build
Running the Server
Two server modes are available:
- Standard stdio mode (for command-line tools and direct integration):
npm start
- HTTP server with SSE support (for remote access and web integration):
npm run start:http
The HTTP server provides:
- An SSE endpoint at
/sse
for receiving real-time updates
- A POST endpoint at
/messages
for sending commands
- A health check endpoint at
/health

Example Usage
Using the MCP Client
import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js';
// Create transport
const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
command: 'node',
args: ['dist/server.js']
});
// Create client
const client = new Client(
{ name: 'example-client', version: '1.0.0' },
{ capabilities: { resources: {}, tools: {} } }
);
// Connect to server
await client.connect(transport);
// List all talents
const talents = await client.listResources('talent://');
// Get a specific talent
const talent = await client.readResource('talent://modern-minimalist');
// Generate CSS for a button
const css = await client.callTool({
name: 'generate-css',
arguments: {
talentId: 'modern-minimalist',
component: 'button',
state: 'hover'
}
});
// Analyze compatibility between two talents
const compatibility = await client.callTool({
name: 'analyze-style-compatibility',
arguments: {
talentId1: 'modern-minimalist',
talentId2: 'bold-vibrant'
}
});
Running the Example Script
node examples/generate-css.js
This example script demonstrates how to use the MCP client to generate CSS for all available talents and analyze compatibility between two talents.
