daisyui

name	daisyui
description	Get DaisyUI component snippets, layouts, templates, and theme configuration for Tailwind CSS 4. Use when building UI with DaisyUI 5 components.

DaisyUI Blueprint

Retrieve authoritative DaisyUI 5 component syntax, setup guidance, and theme configuration via the daisyui-blueprint MCP server.

Calling from pi (pi-mcp-adapter)

The server is configured globally in ~/.config/mcp/mcp.json (license injected via fnox keychain profile daisyui). Call tools through the mcp proxy tool; args is a JSON string:

mcp({ tool: "daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_setup_expert", args: "{\"workflowId\":\"my-task\",\"projectRoot\":\"/abs/path\",\"SetupIDs\":[]}" })
mcp({ tool: "daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_rules_enforcer", args: "{\"workflowId\":\"my-task\"}" })
mcp({ tool: "daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_component_syntax_expert", args: "{\"workflowId\":\"my-task\",\"SnippetIDs\":[\"components/button\",\"components/card\"]}" })

Discover tool names/schemas on demand with mcp({ search: "daisyui" }).

Workflow (stateful, ordered)

The server tracks per-task state by workflowId. Choose one ID per task (pattern ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9._-]{0,127}$, one per parallel agent), reuse the exact value across all calls.

1. daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_setup_expert — MANDATORY first step.
   • workflowId (string), projectRoot (absolute path, bound to the workflowId once)
   • SetupIDs (array, max 6, may be []; enum: setup/install, setup/config, setup/themes, setup/colors, setup/icons, setup/fonts)
2. daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_rules_enforcer — MANDATORY second. Params: workflowId only. Returns the DaisyUI usage rules.
3. Optional: daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_creative_director, daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_page_architect.
4. daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_component_syntax_expert — MANDATORY before writing or revising DaisyUI markup.
   • SnippetIDs (1–50, enum): ~69 component IDs like components/button, plus block IDs like blocks/hero-section, blocks/bento-grid
   • Returns authoritative markup syntax/snippets. The server validates IDs and reports valid values on error.
5. daisyui_blueprint_daisyui_quality_inspector — read-only final check on written files.
   • auditType: mcp_changes | user_request
   • files (1–300): {path,startLine,endLine}, {path} (user_request only), or {path,changeKind:created|replaced|deleted(+anchorLine)} — project-relative paths
   • Returns a single action: fix-and-rerun, manual_review, report, stop, or finalize. Not a replacement for diff/build/test/browser verification.

convert_ workflows* (daisyui_blueprint_convert_figma_to_daisyui, ..._screenshot_to_daisyui, ..._tailwind_to_daisyui, ..._bootstrap_to_daisyui, ..._picture_to_theme): skip the optional tools AND the quality inspector, but still require setup_expert → rules_enforcer → component_syntax_expert (with every component ID used).

Component IDs

IDs are components/<name>; common ones:

accordion, alert, avatar, badge, breadcrumbs, button, calendar, card, carousel, chat, checkbox, collapse, countdown, diff, divider, dock, drawer, dropdown, fab, fieldset, file-input, filter, footer, hero, hover-3d, hover-gallery, indicator, input, join, kbd, label, link, list, loading, mask, menu, mockup-browser, mockup-code, mockup-phone, mockup-window, modal, navbar, pagination, progress, radial-progress, radio, range, rating, select, skeleton, stack, stat, status, steps, swap, tab, table, text-rotate, textarea, theme-controller, timeline, toast, toggle, validator

Note: tooltip is missing from the MCP but exists in DaisyUI 5. Use:

<div class="tooltip" data-tip="hello"><button class="btn">Hover</button></div>
<div class="tooltip tooltip-right tooltip-primary" data-tip="info">...</div>

Classes: tooltip, tooltip-content, tooltip-top/bottom/left/right, tooltip-open, tooltip-{color}

When to Use

• Building new UI components with DaisyUI
• Need the correct class names and HTML structure
• Setting up Tailwind 4 + DaisyUI 5 theme configuration (SetupIDs: ["setup/themes"])
• Converting Figma/screenshots/Tailwind/Bootstrap markup to DaisyUI
• Auditing written DaisyUI files before finishing a UI task
