Telerik Blazor MCP Server Overview
The Telerik Blazor MCP Server improves your developer experience and increases your productivity when implementing Blazor apps that leverage Telerik UI for Blazor. The MCP server provides proprietary context to AI-powered IDEs, apps, and tools, enabling you to generate tailored code and prompt complex questions and tasks that include Telerik UI for Blazor components and API. The MCP server can help you with a wide range of tasks, from creating responsive dashboards and landing pages to answering questions about component features, properties, events, or general usage.
What Is the Telerik MCP Server
The Telerik Blazor MCP Server is a local MCP server that operates in two modes based on your Telerik license: Agentic UI Generator (for DevCraft Complete or Ultimate subscription licenses) and AI Coding Assistant (for Telerik UI for Blazor or DevCraft UI subscription licenses).
The server is distributed via the (Telerik.Blazor.MCP) NuGet package, which provides robust package management, streamlined authentication with your Telerik license key, and seamless integration with .NET development workflows.
General Workflow
To get started with the Telerik MCP server, complete the following steps:
- Configure the MCP server.
- (Optional) If you have not installed your license key, follow the License Key Guidelines.
- Start using the tools—Open a chat session in your AI-powered IDE and begin prompting for component assistance or UI generation

Privacy
The Telerik MCP server operates under the following conditions:
- The MCP server does not have access to your workspace and application code. Note that when using the Telerik MCP server (or any other MCP server), the LLM generates parameters for the MCP server request, which may include parts of your application code.
- The MCP server does not use your prompts to train Telerik AI models.
- The MCP server does not generate the actual responses and has no access to these responses. The MCP server only provides a better context that helps your selected model (for example, GPT, Gemini, Claude) provide better responses.
- The MCP server does not associate your prompts to your Telerik user account. Your prompts and generated context are anonymized and stored for statistical and troubleshooting purposes.
- The MCP server stores metrics about how often and how much you use it in order to ensure compliance with the allowed number of requests that correspond to your current license.
