Connect your library with MCPui/tooltipUsage
Get this component from a saved library export or the connected CLI. The imports below refer to local files installed in your app.
Import styles/components.css, then styles/theme.css once. Wrap your app in ThemeScope from components/ui/utils so typography, focus and overlays share the theme. The installation guide covers runtime dependencies and React/Next.js setup.
import { Tooltip } from './components/ui/tooltip';
<Tooltip trigger="Save" content="Save your changes to this library"/>Design system
This component consumes your semantic colors, spacing, typography and shape tokens. Import the compiled styles and your theme once as described in Export.
Behavior and accessibility
- Provide meaningful labels for interactive controls.
- Connect action callbacks to your application logic.
- Verify keyboard navigation and contrast in your application.
Status: experimental during early access. Sample previews do not send emails, process payments or upload files to a service.
