AI agents write better UI with the right context. Storybook MCP gives them access to your components, stories & tests so they can build, preview & validate UI from a single prompt. Join us for a walkthrough of the workflow + a sneak peek of upcoming features. Link in comments 👇
We’re sharing details about a potential vulnerability that may affect a small subset of built and published Storybooks. 🧵 (1/4)
🧵 (1/3) Most AI-generated code looks good until you try to merge it. Wrong props, odd states, subtle regressions. Storybook MCP fixes that. It turns your stories, docs & tests into machine-readable context so agents actually follow your patterns.
Storybook 10 is here! ✂️ ESM-only (the only breaking change!) 🧩 Module automocking for easier testing 🏭 Typesafe CSF factories Preview for React 💫 UI editing and sharing optimizations 🏷️ Tag filtering exclusion for sidebar management 🔀 Svelte async component support
Storybook 10
ESM-only, 29% lighter, module automocking, and more

Better context > more context. Been running experiments on LLM cost: - Vanilla prompt $0.71 - With Storybook MCP: $0.39 That’s 45% fewer tokens for the same job.
We cut @chromatic.com total accessibility violations by over 66% in the last 6 weeks. Here's how: Over the years, we accrued a11y debt because it was everyone and no one's responsibility. Sure, we did VPATs but they were out of date the moment they were finished.
Storybook 10 (now in beta) is ESM-only. 🤏 Smaller package size (15%) 🫧 Cleaner, simpler codebase ⛓️💥 Reduced bugs from module duplication and aliasing 🧱 A more future-proof foundation for Storybook and its ecosystem Read all about why we’ve made the transition and what it means for you:
Storybook is going ESM-only
Smaller, simpler, and modern

A11y lags behind because testing doesn’t match how we build software. Why? - Audits live outside the dev workflow - Page-level tests create noise - CI/CD gets blocked by a ton of old issues Join me at SquiggleConf to build an a11y pipeline using Storybook!
🌟 Speaker Spotlight: Dominic Nguyen @domyen.bsky.social is a maintainer of Storybook, which does more than just visualize your components. Did you know it can help you catch accessibility issues early in your development flow? Schedule, speakers, and more: squiggleconf.com
Testing components that depend on things like localStorage or authentication can be tricky. Storybook makes it easy with our new module mocking API built on top of @vitest.dev's excellent mocking tools. storybook.js.org/blog/next-ge...
🚀 Chromatic's Accessibility Testing & Dashboard are now live! Powered by Storybook & axe, we're making accessibility compliance seamless across your entire dev lifecycle—without slowing you down.

We're revamping the Accessibility addon in Storybook 9.0 🔍 Rule-based layout for better readability 🎯 Highlight issues in the canvas 🔗 Permalinks for sharing 🧪 Integrates with Storybook Test 🚦 Integrates with Chromatic for regression checks storybook.js.org/blog/previe...
😍 Preview of the revamped a11y addon coming soon to SB 9. Now includes deeplinking which simplifies repros with stakeholders.
It's official! I'm speaking at Svelte Summit, come see me in Barcelona in May! Can't wait to meet you all in person! I'll be diving into @svelte.dev with @storybook.js.org, and how you can use it to write delicious Component Tests! 🚀 Might also include a surprise collab... 🙊
Now that speakers have been selected we want to share with you our line-up for Svelte Summit Spring 2025! We will host 16 talks across different topics during the two day conference. In addition, @mainmatter.com will also host a workshop. More details on www.sveltesummit.com
2017-2020 was @storybook.js.org's honeymoon period. We were first time OSS maintainers, but a UI component workshop was the right tool at the right time. We could do no wrong! Then things started to unravel. 🧵
You're starting an AI initiative—but not an AI-first company? Here’s how you might approach it:
Storybook 8.5 is out! ♿️ Realtime a11y tests to help build UIs for everybody 🛡️ Project code coverage reporting 🎯 Focused tests for fast feedback ⚛️ React Native Web Vite framework for testing mobile UI 🎁 Storybook Test Bootcamp to level up your testing game storybook.js.org/blog/storybo...
Storybook 8.5
Accessibility at your fingertips
storybook.js.org
When it comes to writing stories, improved typesafety and autocompletion are @storybook.js.org's top user requests. We've also heard our "play" function feels too different from the rest of the testing ecosystem. We want to address this feedback in Storybook 9. 🧵
Is your Storybook getting unwieldy with component playgrounds, tests, and documentation examples? Use tags to organize and filter the components and stories in your sidebar. 🏷️ Easy authoring 🔍 Interactive sidebar filter 🙈 Static tag-based filtering 🟢 Updated badges addon
Storybook tags
Organize your components and stories to match the way you work
