MCP distribution

Distribute a context to any AI coding tool via MCP.

Each context has its own MCP endpoint. When you distribute via MCP, AI tools receive exactly the data scoped in that context — tokens, documentation, components, files, and skills — nothing more.
Users need a Supernova account to connect.

 

Get the context MCP URL

  • In Contexts section, open the context.
  • Go to the Distribution section.
  • Copy the MCP URL from the MCP card.

The URL follows this format:


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            https://mcp.supernova.io/mcp/c/{ID}-{context-name}

Feedback collection

Feedback collection lets MCP consumers report context quality issues directly from their AI tool. Feedback is tied to this context and visible in Supernova so you can act on it.

You can enable feedback collection in the MCP card under Distribution.

Learn how to configure and review feedback

 

Best practices

Share the MCP URL only with the team this context is scoped for. If you have separate contexts for engineering and marketing, each team should connect to their respective endpoint — not a shared one.

Review feedback regularly. It's the fastest signal for gaps between what AI tools are doing and what your design system defines.

If a team's AI tool is consistently returning wrong or outdated information, check whether the context scope includes the right token groups and documentation pages for their use case.

 

Tool function list

The following functions are available when connected to a context endpoint. They come with sufficient descriptions such that AI tools automatically pick up when to use them without additional prompting.
