Guide shows Storybook MCP enables AI prototyping in design systems

The author outlines a practical approach for product and design teams to prototype inside their design systems using AI tools by leveraging component manifests and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Ready-made AI builders typically fail when integrated with a design system because they recreate or invent components rather than using real, sanctioned ones. Using a Storybook MCP or a custom design system MCP allows AI agents to accurately reference actual component lists, ensuring prototypes consist of real components and follow team rules before code handover.
