Plain English in
“animated bottom sheet with blur” becomes real catalog filters. Synonyms and typos are handled — spelling never costs a search.
Ask, watch, build
The catalog's own search matches titles. The MCP server reads your sentence, turns it into real filters, and ranks what comes back.
Clips play in chat
Every block comes back as a link plus a looping video, so you judge the motion before you touch a repo.
Real source, not guesses
Pick a block and your agent gets its components, animations, packages, documentation, and source links.
Add it in under a minute
Point your client at one URL. There is no API key, no package to install, and nothing running on your machine.
Add the server to your global MCP config.
~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"native-bloom": {
"url": "https://mcp.nativebloom.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Use a project's .cursor/mcp.json instead to scope it to one repo.
Sign in once
Your client shows a Connect button the first time it calls the server. Sign in with your Native Bloom account in the browser, and results follow your plan from then on.
Four tools
Your agent picks these on its own. Knowing what they do tells you what to ask for.
- search_blocksOne need, in plain English. Returns ranked blocks with previews, plus the terms to browse next.
- search_blocks_batchA whole screen or flow at once. One labelled search per part, and no block repeats across them.
- get_blockThe context to work with one block: learn how it works, experiment, and integrate it.
- list_catalog_termsThe terms under a category, with how many blocks each has.
Getting good answers
The catalog is organised by part, not by screen. Once you know that, and the five words below, you can aim every search.
The words it uses
- Block
- One component or animation, with a video of it running and a link back to where the code lives.
- Link
- A block's page on nativebloom.dev. This is the thing you copy and paste back to your agent.
- Category
- The five kinds of term: components, animations, collections, packages, and authors.
- Term
- A single filter value, such as Bottom sheet, Scroll-driven, or react-native-effects.
- Within
- Searching inside one term, the way “a carousel in Demos” narrows to the Demos collection.
Ask like this
“use native bloom to find tab bar”
One part, described by how it looks and moves.
“a shader background animation”
Plain English. The words become filters on their own.
“a carousel in Demos”
Names a term to search inside when you already know it.
“headers added this week”
Time words choose a window instead of being searched for.
Not like this
“build me a crypto app”
Don't hand the agent a whole product. Find the parts, pick a block, then say what to build.
“find me something nice for my app”
Nothing searchable in it. You get guidance back, not blocks.
Free to try, Pro to ship
