Kendo UI for Angular AI Tools Overview
The Kendo UI for Angular AI Tools transform your development workflow by providing intelligent, context-aware assistance directly in your IDE. These tools leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to deliver proprietary Kendo UI for Angular knowledge to AI-powered development environments, enabling you to build high-quality applications faster and with greater confidence.
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 Are the Kendo UI for Angular AI Tools
The Kendo UI for Angular AI Tools are delivered through a single unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI-powered development assistance. The MCP server offers two levels of functionality based on your Telerik license type, with each level providing access to different specialized tools coordinated by an intelligent orchestrator:
- Agentic UI Generator—Includes all four specialized tools (Component, Layout, Styling, and Icon), coordinated by a comprehensive orchestrator designed for complete UI generation.
- AI Coding Assistant—Includes the Component Tool and Icon Tool, coordinated by an orchestrator optimized for component-level development.
General Workflow
To get started with the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server, complete the following steps:
- Configure the MCP server.
- (Optional) Configure your license, if not already set globally on your machine.
- Start using the tools—Open your IDE's chat interface and begin prompting:
- For the Agentic UI Generator, start your prompt with the
#kendo_ui_generatorhandle. - For the AI Coding Assistant, start your prompt with the
#kendo_angular_assistanthandle.
- For the Agentic UI Generator, start your prompt with the

| DevCraft Complete or Ultimate Subscription | Other Subscriptions | Perpetual License | Trial License | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UI Generator Orchestrator Tool | No* | No* | ||
| Coding Assistant Orchestrator Tool | No** | No** | No** | |

*Available with a 30-day AI Tools trial or a Kendo UI for Angular trial.
**The Coding Assistant Orchestrator Tool is available only when you have a subscription license that enables the limited set of tools (Component and Icon Tool). When you have access to the full set of tools (DevCraft Complete/Ultimate or Trial), the UI Generator Orchestrator Tool is in charge of coordinating all tools.
Usage Limits
- Subscription licenses include a virtually unlimited number of requests with fair usage applied. Best for ongoing and high-volume usage.
- Trial access provides the same virtually unlimited requests during the 30-day trial period with fair usage applied. Designed for evaluating the feature before purchasing.
- Reactivating the same trial for a new release does not grant additional requests.
- All tools share the same usage quota for your account. Requests count toward the same limit regardless of which level you're using.
- When using the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server, one prompt may trigger several requests, depending on the prompt complexity.
Privacy
The Kendo UI for Angular 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 Kendo UI for Angular 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.
Make sure to also get familiar with the terms and privacy policy of your selected AI model and AI client.
