MCP server API

While they are in preview, Storybook's AI capabilities (specifically, the manifests and MCP server) are currently only supported for React projects.

Additionally, the API may change in future releases. We welcome feedback and contributions to help improve this feature.

import type { StorybookConfig } from '@storybook/your-framework';
 
const config: StorybookConfig = {
  framework: '@storybook/your-framework',
  stories: ['../src/**/*.mdx', '../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|mjs|ts|tsx)'],
  addons: [
    // ... your existing addons
    {
      name: '@storybook/addon-mcp',
      options: {
        toolsets: {
