How to Set Up and Use Maui Graphics
The .NET MAUI Graphics MCP Server lets AI assistants generate and render mobile UI components in real time using the .NET MAUI Graphics library. It exposes 11 drawing tools covering canvas management, basic shapes (circles, rectangles, rounded rectangles), lines, custom paths, and text rendering. Developers can describe UI components in natural language and instantly receive generated C# drawing code with a live visual preview via the MCP Inspector.
Prerequisites
- .NET 8 SDK or later installed
- Node.js and npx available (for running the MCP Inspector)
- Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible client
- Git to clone the repository
Clone the repository
Clone the maui-graphics-mcp-server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-graphics-mcp-server.git
cd maui-graphics-mcp-serverBuild the .NET project
Restore NuGet dependencies and build the server project using the .NET CLI.
dotnet restore
dotnet buildLaunch the server with the MCP Inspector for testing
Use the MCP Inspector to interactively test the graphics tools before wiring them into Claude Desktop. Run this command from the project root.
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector dotnet runConfigure Claude Desktop to use the server
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file, pointing to the dotnet run command or the compiled binary.
{
"mcpServers": {
"maui-graphics": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": ["run", "--project", "/absolute/path/to/maui-graphics-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and start designing
Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config. You can now ask Claude to draw UI components and receive generated MAUI Graphics C# code alongside a visual preview.

Natural language prompts to generate MAUI UI components through Claude.
- "Design a toggle switch component showing On and Off states with modern aesthetics"
- "Create a bar chart with labeled axes, color-coded bars, and gridlines"
- "Build a horizontal slider UI for volume adjustment"
- "Draw a circular progress indicator at 75% completion"
- "Design a numeric input field with increment and decrement buttons"Troubleshooting Maui Graphics
dotnet run fails with SDK not found
Install the .NET 8 SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download and ensure the 'dotnet' command is in your PATH. Run 'dotnet --version' to confirm installation.
MCP Inspector shows no tools after connecting
Make sure you run 'npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector dotnet run' from the project root directory where the .csproj file is located. Check the terminal output for any build errors before the server starts.
Generated drawings do not appear in the preview
The MCP Inspector provides a real-time canvas preview. If it is blank, try calling the 'clear_canvas' tool first, then issue a drawing command. Ensure the project built successfully with no errors.
