Can I see how components are composed before using them?

Yes, the get_component_demo tool provides access to Storybook examples showing real-world usage patterns and component composition.

What is the primary purpose of the gluestack-ui MCP tools?

They provide a bridge for Claude to browse the gluestack-ui repository, allowing it to fetch source code, metadata, and usage examples for UI components directly into your workspace.

Which styling variants can I retrieve with this skill?

You can access three specific variants: NativeWind (Tailwind-based), Themed (token-based), and Unstyled (base functionality without styles).

Does this skill work with React Native?

Yes, gluestack-ui is designed for high-performance React and React Native applications, and these tools provide code optimized for those environments.

How do I avoid GitHub API rate limits when using this skill?

You can configure a GITHUB_TOKEN in your environment variables or point to a local clone of the gluestack-ui repository using the GLUESTACK_PATH variable.
