sfnext_add_page_designer_decorator
Adds Page Designer decorators (@Component, @AttributeDefinition, @RegionDefinition) to React components to make them available in Page Designer for Storefront Next.
Note: 🚧 This MCP tool is for Storefront Next. Storefront Next is part of a closed pilot and isn't available for general use.
Overview
The sfnext_add_page_designer_decorator tool analyzes React components and generates Page Designer decorators that enable components to be used in Page Designer. It supports two modes:
- Auto Mode: Quick setup with sensible defaults-automatically selects suitable props, infers types, and generates decorators immediately.
- Interactive Mode: Multi-step workflow for fine-tuned control over decorator configuration.
The tool uses component discovery to find components by name (e.g., "ProductItem", "ProductTile") without requiring exact file paths, making it easy to add Page Designer support to existing components.
Prerequisites
- Storefront Next project with React components
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
component | string | Yes | Component name (for example, "ProductItem", "ProductTile") or file path (for example, "src/components/ProductItem.tsx"). When a name is provided, the tool automatically searches common component directories. |
searchPaths | string[] | No | Additional directories to search for components (for example, ["packages/retail/src", "app/features"]). Only used when a component is specified by name (not path). |
autoMode | boolean | No | Auto-generate all configurations with sensible defaults (skip interactive workflow). When enabled, automatically selects suitable props, infers types, and generates decorators without user confirmation. |
componentId | string | No | Override component ID (default: auto-generated from component name). |
conversationContext | object | No | Context for interactive mode workflow. See Interactive Mode for details. |
Conversation Context (Interactive Mode)
When using interactive mode, provide conversationContext with the following structure:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
step | "analyze" | "select_props" | "configure_attrs" | "configure_regions" | "confirm_generation" | Current step in the conversation workflow |
componentInfo | object | Cached component analysis from previous step |
selectedProps | string[] | Props from component interface selected to expose in Page Designer |
newAttributes | object[] | New attributes to add (not in existing props) |
attributeConfig | object | Configuration for each attribute (explicit types, names, defaults, etc.) |
componentMetadata | object | Component decorator configuration (id, name, description, group) |
regionConfig | object | Region configuration (enabled, regions array) |
Operation Modes
The tool supports two modes:
- Auto Mode: Quick setup with sensible defaults—automatically selects suitable props, infers types, and generates decorators immediately.
- Interactive Mode: Multi-step workflow for fine-tuned control over decorator configuration.
Component Discovery
The tool automatically searches for components in these locations (in order):
src/components/**(PascalCase and kebab-case)app/components/**components/**src/**(broader search)- Custom paths (if provided via
searchPaths)
Examples:
"ProductItem"→ findssrc/components/product-item/index.tsxorProductItem.tsx"ProductTile"→ findssrc/components/product-tile/ProductTile.tsxorproduct-tile/index.tsx"product-item"→ findssrc/components/product-item.tsxorproduct-item/index.tsx
Tips:
- Use component name for portability
- Use path for unusual locations
- Add
searchPathsfor monorepos or non-standard structures
Usage Examples
Auto mode (quick setup):
Use the MCP tool to add Page Designer decorators to my ProductItem component.Interactive mode (fine-tuned control):
Use the MCP tool to add Page Designer decorators to my ProductTile component interactively.With custom search paths:
Use the MCP tool to add Page Designer decorators to ProductItem, searching in packages/retail/src and app/features.Using component path:
Use the MCP tool to add Page Designer decorators to src/components/ProductItem.tsx.Output
The tool returns generated Page Designer decorator code that you can add to your component file. The decorators include component metadata, attribute definitions for props, and region definitions (if configured).
