Overview

About This Skill

variant-ui is an MCP server designed for rapid UI prototyping that lets developers spin up multiple UI variants simultaneously and view them running side by side. Instead of iterating on a single approach sequentially, you can build competing UI implementations in parallel and directly compare results before deciding what to ship. It is built for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor, fitting into agentic development workflows where fast iteration cycles matter. The tool targets developers who find themselves stuck choosing between UI approaches, removing that bottleneck by making it practical to explore all options at once.

Use Cases

Comparing two or more UI layout approaches side by side before committing to one

Running parallel prototypes during AI-assisted front-end development sessions

Accelerating design decisions by visually evaluating multiple implementations simultaneously

Reducing back-and-forth iteration time when exploring different component designs
