Plasmic

@Plasmic generate the global contexts configuration for my new AuthProvider and ThemeProvider components

Here's the globalContexts configuration snippet for your Plasmic loader: ```javascript globalContexts: [ { name: 'AuthProvider', path: './components/AuthProvider', props: {} }, { name: 'ThemeProvider', path: './components/ThemeProvider', props: {} } ] ``` This configuration registers both providers so Plasmic components can access authentication state and theme values. Add this to your PlasmicRootProvider initialization.

This example shows the MCP's core function: translating React provider names into the exact configuration format Plasmic's loader expects. You'll need to verify the component paths match your project structure. The MCP generates boilerplate — you still own wiring props and context logic.

@Plasmic I just created a DataProvider wrapper around React Query — what's the globalContexts entry I need?

For your DataProvider component, add this to your Plasmic loader's globalContexts array: ```javascript { name: 'DataProvider', path: './components/DataProvider', props: {} } ``` This registers the provider so any Plasmic component in your project can consume data from React Query hooks. If your DataProvider accepts configuration props (like a base URL), you'll specify those in the props object.

Demonstrates the workflow after defining a custom provider: the MCP gives you the registration snippet, you paste it into your loader config. The props object is empty by default — if your provider needs initialization values, you'll hand-code those based on your app's requirements.

@Plasmic show me the globalContexts setup for FeatureFlagProvider, AnalyticsProvider, and LocaleProvider all at once

Here's the complete globalContexts configuration for all three providers: ```javascript globalContexts: [ { name: 'FeatureFlagProvider', path: './components/FeatureFlagProvider', props: {} }, { name: 'AnalyticsProvider', path: './components/AnalyticsProvider', props: {} }, { name: 'LocaleProvider', path: './components/LocaleProvider', props: {} } ] ``` Pasmic will wrap your components in this order (top to bottom), so feature flags and analytics will be available inside locale-specific content.

Shows the MCP handling multiple providers in one request. Useful when scaffolding a new Plasmic project with several cross-cutting concerns. Provider order matters for nested context dependencies — the MCP outputs them in the sequence you list, but you're responsible for ensuring that order matches your app's context hierarchy.

When Plasmic MCP helps bridge design-to-code gaps

A 3-person frontend team is integrating a Plasmic design system into their Next.js app and needs to wire up global React contexts (auth, theme, feature flags) so designers can preview components with real data. The Plasmic MCP generates the loader configuration snippet that maps your providers to Plasmic's preview environment. This works if you already have your React providers defined and just need the glue code—if you're still figuring out your context architecture, write that first. The MCP saves 20 minutes of docs-diving per integration, but it's a one-time setup task. Worth using if you onboard Plasmic components weekly or run a design system team that ships to multiple repos.

Skip this MCP if you're building alone

A solo founder is using Plasmic to mock up landing pages and wants to connect live data from their Supabase backend. The Plasmic MCP only generates a config snippet for global contexts—it doesn't fetch data, call APIs, or help with component logic. If you're working alone and already comfortable reading Plasmic's docs, you'll spend more time explaining your setup to the AI than copying the snippet yourself. The MCP becomes useful at team scale (3+ devs) where you're standardizing how everyone wires contexts, or if you're onboarding junior devs who haven't touched Plasmic before. For solo prototyping, just follow the Plasmic quickstart and skip the MCP.

When repetitive config work justifies the MCP

A 6-person agency ships 2-3 client sites per month, each using Plasmic for marketing pages with custom auth and analytics contexts. Every project needs the same global contexts config, but client codebases vary (Next.js, Gatsby, plain React). The Plasmic MCP generates the loader snippet on demand, so devs don't copy-paste from the last project and forget to update provider names. This saves 15 minutes per project and prevents config bugs that break Plasmic previews. The trade-off: you need API key management across client accounts, and the MCP only handles the config step—you still write the actual provider code. Use this if you ship more than one Plasmic project per quarter and want to standardize the integration ritual.
