How to Set Up and Use Modao Proto
Modao Proto MCP is a standalone MCP server that connects the Modao Proto design platform (modao.cc) with AI models, enabling assistants to generate complete HTML prototypes from natural language descriptions, expand brief design concepts into detailed specifications, and save generated designs directly to a user's Modao workspace. It is designed for UX designers and frontend developers who use Modao Proto for rapid prototyping and want to accelerate their workflow by describing UI ideas in plain language and having AI produce production-ready, responsive HTML layouts.
Prerequisites
- Node.js installed on your system
- A Modao account at modao.cc or modao.cc/ai
- A valid Modao API access token (obtainable from your Modao account settings)
- Sufficient Modao account credits for HTML generation operations
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf
Clone the repository and install dependencies
Clone the modao-proto-mcp repository and install the Node.js dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/modao-dev/modao-proto-mcp.git
cd modao-proto-mcp
npm installBuild the project
Compile the TypeScript source to JavaScript.
npm run buildObtain your API token
Log in to modao.cc, navigate to your account settings or the API section, and generate an access token. Keep this token secure as it authorizes all API operations.
Configure your MCP client
Add the Modao Proto MCP server to your client configuration. The --token flag is required; --url defaults to https://modao.cc.
{
"mcpServers": {
"modao-proto": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/modao-proto-mcp/dist/index.js", "--token", "YOUR_API_TOKEN"]
}
}
}Test with a simple HTML generation request
Ask your AI assistant to generate a simple UI prototype to verify the server is connected and your token is working.

Example requests once the Modao Proto MCP server is connected.
- "Generate a modern login page with email and password fields, a 'forgot password' link, and a social login section"
- "Create a dashboard UI with a sidebar navigation, KPI cards at the top, and a data table below"
- "Expand this brief into a full design spec: mobile checkout flow with cart summary and payment form"
- "Generate the HTML for this design and save it to my Modao workspace"Troubleshooting Modao Proto
Authentication error or 'invalid token' response from the API
Verify your API token is correct and has not expired. Generate a new token from your Modao account settings at modao.cc and update it in your MCP client configuration.
HTML generation fails with a credits or quota error
Each gen_html call consumes Modao account credits. Check your credit balance at modao.cc/ai. Purchase additional credits if needed, then retry the generation request.
Server fails to start with 'Cannot find module' errors
Make sure you ran 'npm run build' to compile the TypeScript source before starting the server. The dist/ directory must exist and contain index.js for the server to launch.
