Ignite UI for Angular, React, and Web Components provides a three-part AI toolchain - Agent Skills, the Ignite UI CLI MCP server, and the Ignite UI Theming MCP server - that grounds AI coding assistants in correct component APIs, import paths, and design tokens. Agent Skills are developer-owned instruction packages that define how AI agents use Ignite UI in a specific project. The CLI MCP server exposes Ignite UI CLI scaffolding, component management, and documentation tools to the active AI agent session via the Model Context Protocol. The Theming MCP server exposes the Ignite UI Theming Engine as queryable agent context. All three components work with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and JetBrains AI Assistant.

Ignite UI's AI toolchain consists of three independently usable layers. Each layer can be enabled on its own; they are designed to work together.

## Set Up the AI Toolchain
82
85
83
-
Setting up the Ignite UI AI toolchain takes three steps: load Agent Skills for your framework, connect the CLI MCP server, and optionally connect the Theming MCP server. All three steps are independent and can be done in any order.
86
+
Use `ig ai-config` to configure Agent Skills and both MCP servers in a single command. For individual control over each layer, or to configure only part of the toolchain in an existing project, follow the steps below. Running `ig ai-config` completes Steps 1, 2, and 3 in one operation.
87
+
88
+
### Quick Setup
89
+
90
+
The `ai-config` command copies the Ignite UI Agent Skills into `.claude/skills/` and writes the Ignite UI MCP server configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json`. If the files already exist and are up-to-date, the command is a no-op.
91
+
92
+
**Using Angular Schematics:**
93
+
94
+
```bash
95
+
ng generate @igniteui/angular-schematics:ai-config
96
+
```
97
+
98
+
This also registers the `@angular/cli` MCP server in `.vscode/mcp.json` alongside the Ignite UI servers.
99
+
100
+
**Using the Ignite UI CLI:**
101
+
102
+
```bash
103
+
npx igniteui-cli ai-config
104
+
```
105
+
106
+
If you have the Ignite UI CLI installed globally, use the shorter form:
107
+
108
+
```bash
109
+
ig ai-config
110
+
```
111
+
112
+
> [!NOTE]
113
+
> The `npx igniteui-cli` and `ig` forms do not register the `@angular/cli` MCP server. Use the Angular Schematics command above if you want all three servers configured in a single step.
114
+
115
+
> [!NOTE]
116
+
> The command requires Ignite UI packages to be installed in your project (`npm install`). If no skill files are found, make sure your packages are up-to-date.
