Hi Danny!
Is this mainly for use with Storybook init and setup or does it also assist with writing stories for your screens and components?

🧡 (1/3) Most AI-generated code looks good until you try to merge it. Wrong props, odd states, subtle regressions.

Storybook MCP fixes that.

It turns your stories, docs & tests into machine-readable context so agents actually follow your patterns.

Probably my favorite features are the Nextjs Vite support and the ability to create stories for your components that don’t currently have stories!

Storybook's test widget. It's titled "Run components tests". Under that is "Testing... 1/97" with an eye and stop icons beside them. Then three rows of checkboxes labeled, Interactions, Coverage, and Accessibility, each with a gray status dot. Under that is another section, titled "Run visual tests in cloud". The final section has a "Run tests" button.

Storybook Test

It’s a batteries-included combo of the best UI development and testing tools: Storybook, @vitest.dev's browser mode, and @playwright.dev. Run interaction, accessibility, and visual tests with a click and get real-time feedback inside your Storybook.

Working on this with the teamβ€”and communityβ€”for the past ~year has been a career highlight.

I'll never go back to unit testing my components.

Storybook really saves engineers so much time and energy for UI development and it promotes the confidence that you’re UI will work. That’s before you even consider the massive gains that you get by integrating Chromatic into the equation and automating all these useful tests you’ve written.

Plus, storybook decreased its overall footprint in node modules even more!!!!
I benchmarked 8.6.12 and it was 50ish MB vs 29ish MB for 9.0.0-alpha.

The storybook team has done it again!!! If you are ready to take your engineers to the next level and have a ton of full-featured tests in the form of stories, that not only act as visual tests but also functional tests, then get ready for storybook 9 πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
