\n\n[](https://badge.fury.io/js/igniteui-theming)\n\nThe Ignite UI Theming repository collects a set of Sass mixins, functions, and variables used to create themes for a variety of UI frameworks built by Infragistics. The theming package makes it super easy to create palettes, elevations and typography styles for your projects.\n\n## Repository Structure\n\nThis repository is an npm workspaces monorepo with two packages:\n\n| Package | Name | Description |\n| ------------------ | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `packages/theming` | `igniteui-theming` | Sass source, JSON build artifacts, published to npm |\n| `packages/mcp` | `igniteui-theming-mcp` | MCP server sources, built into `packages/theming/dist/mcp/` |\n\nThe `igniteui-theming` package is the only published artifact — it includes both the Sass theming library and the MCP server binary.\n\nThe MCP server is also listed in the [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.IgniteUI/igniteui-theming`. The `server.json` at the repo root is its registry manifest, published automatically on release.\n\nCommon commands from the repo root:\n\n```bash\nnpm install # install all workspace dependencies\nnpm run build # build theming + MCP in dependency order\nnpm test # run all tests across both packages\nnpm run lint # lint all packages\n```\n\n## Palettes\n\nWe provide four predefined palettes - material, bootstrap, fluent and indigo that have all the necessary colors along with diffent variants of those colors to make it even easier picking the right one for your case. Here's what they look like:\n\n\n\nTo access any of the colors in the palettes, you can use the `color` function:\n\n```scss\nbackground: color($light-material-palette, 'primary', 500);\n```\n\nYou can take a further look on what color functions and mixins the package contains and how to use them in the [Colors Wiki Page]()\n\n## Typography\n\nAnother valuable module of our theming package is the typography, helping you have consistency all over your project. There are again four typography presets for the four themes that we provide out of the box.\n\n\n\nYou can set any of the typefaces by using the `typography` mixin, which accepts 2 arguments(font-family and type-scale). By default the typography is using the material typeface and type-scale.\n\n```scss\n@include typography($font-family: $material-typeface, $type-scale: $material-type-scale);\n```\n\nLearn more about the typography module in the package by checking out the [Typography Wiki Page]()\n\n## Elevations\n\nThe theming package is providing one preset of shadows that can be used to give your components a lift. They're super helpful using with buttons, cards, navigation bars, etc.\n\n\n\nYou can set elevations 0-24, by using the `elevation` function, which accepts the elevation level as an argument:\n\n```scss\nbox-shadow: elevation(12);\n```\n\nLearn more about elevations and their abilities in the [Elevations Wiki Page]()\n\n## Usage\n\nIn order to use the Ignite UI Theming in your application you should install the `igniteui-theming` package:\n\n```\nnpm install igniteui-theming\n```\n\nNext, you will need to **use** it in the file that you want like this:\n\n```scss\n@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/' as *;\n```\n\nYou can also **use** just a fraction of the package:\n\n```scss\n@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/sass/color' as *;\n```\n\nWe provide presets for **material, bootstrap, fluent and indigo** themes for the color(light and dark palettes), typography and elevations fractions. You can import them into your scss file like this:\n\n```scss\n@use '.../node_modules/igniteui-theming/sass/typography/presets' as *;\n```\n\nYou can read more about what the package contains on the [Wiki page](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-theming/wiki)\n\n## Linting and Testing\n\nTo scan the project for linting errors, run\n\n```\nnpm run lint\n```\n\nTo run the suite of tests, run\n\n```\nnpm run test\n```\n\n## Testing and Debugging\n\n### Preview Palettes\n\nRun from `packages/theming`. Pass the palette (`material`, `bootstrap`, `fluent`, `indigo`) and variant (`light` or `dark`). \n\n```bash\nnpm run preview:palette -- --palette=material --variant=light\n```\n\n---\n\n## MCP Server (AI-Assisted Theming)\n\nThe Ignite UI Theming package includes a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that enables AI assistants to generate production-ready theming code for your Ignite UI applications. This MCP server is part of the larger [AI-assisted development toolchain](https://www.infragistics.com/ai-assisted-app-development) for Ignite UI.\n\n### What is MCP?\n\nThe Model Context Protocol allows AI assistants (like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and others) to connect to external tools and data sources. The Ignite UI Theming MCP server acts as an expert theming assistant that can:\n\n- 🎨 **Generate color palettes** with automatic shade variations\n- 📝 **Create typography systems** following design standards\n- 🌓 **Build complete themes** for light and dark modes\n- 🎯 **Customize components** with design tokens\n- ✅ **Validate colors** for accessibility compliance\n\n### Quick Start\n\nMost users don't need to clone anything. The server ships inside the published `igniteui-theming` package and is listed in the [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.IgniteUI/igniteui-theming` — clients that support registry installation can add it by that name, and everything else uses the `npx` configuration shown below.\n\nTo run it from source instead:\n\n#### 1. Clone and Build\n\nClone the repository and build:\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run build\n```\n\n#### 2. Configure Your AI Client\n\nThe MCP server works with any MCP-compatible client. Here are setup instructions for popular clients:\n\n\nVS Code (with MCP-compatible extensions)
