Your coding agent can inspect typed props, dependencies and actual source through the Helios MCP server. Choose your application workspace before copying files.
Start with MCPStart from zero
This walkthrough starts with a React 19 project. Follow the steps in order to install the shared package, connect its styles and use your first component or template.
Open your project — or create a new one.
Use a React 19 application. The showcase uses Next.js App Router and Tailwind CSS 4. Already have a compatible project? Open a terminal in its root folder.
New Next.js appnpx create-next-app@latest my-app cd my-appFor Vite, React Router or Astro, use the framework guides. Install the package in the workspace that renders your interface.
Download the package and install its dependencies.
Save the real local archive in your application folder. Its manifest declares the runtime dependencies used by the previews.
Download React packagenpm installnpm install react@19.2.4 react-dom@19.2.4 ./helios-ui-react-0.1.0.tgzpnpm installpnpm add react@19.2.4 react-dom@19.2.4 ./helios-ui-react-0.1.0.tgzyarn installyarn add react@19.2.4 react-dom@19.2.4 ./helios-ui-react-0.1.0.tgzConnect the shared Helios UI styles.
Import the stylesheet once from your root layout or client entry. The archive includes the compiled component styles.
app/layout.tsximport '@helios-ui/react/styles.css'; export default function RootLayout({children}: {children: React.ReactNode}) { return <html lang="en"><body>{children}</body></html>; }Review preview access.
All included examples can be inspected locally. INR plans are previews and checkout is closed. No license key, payment or registry login is needed for the supplied archive.

Import the same export used in the preview, or copy editable source with its dependency closure from this checkout.
Copy component sourcenode helios-ui-site/scripts/copy-component.mjs agent-progress --to ./src/components/helios-agent-progressRead the generated
USAGE.tsxand dependency manifest before integrating. Open the component preview.Or use a complete template.
Template source includes its shared components and supporting assets. Copy bundled public assets into the consuming application’s public directory.
Copy template sourcenode helios-ui-site/scripts/copy-component.mjs ai-chat --to ./src/templates/helios-ai-chatAI replies and authentication remain local examples until your application supplies its own services.
Keeping your source up to date
Keep your local customizations under version control. Re-download the package or copy a fresh source directory, review the differences, then merge the changes you need. The copier refuses an existing destination.
node helios-ui-site/scripts/copy-component.mjs agent-progress --to ./src/components/helios-agent-progress-reviewPro components

Commercial seats and support are proposed features. The local source and build workflow are available now.
Manage a machine
Keep the source checkout available for MCP. Update a client’s command when you move that checkout.

Install the archive and its declared dependencies in your application. No private registry credential is required.
