Infragistics today released AI coding assistants as part of the company’s Ultimate 26.1 platform release that help developers build and modernize applications in a single AI workflow.
The new tools that comprise a new Ignite UI Enterprise MPC toolchain are Ignite UI Agent skills, which provide knowledge of Ignite UI components and how they are used; and Ignite UI CLI MCP Server , which provides live access to code documentation and APIs that give the AI up-to-date knowledge of the system. The third piece, Ignite UI Theming MCP Server, handles visual design features that match an existing system so AI can build with “the components, conventions and visual language a team already uses,” the company wrote in its announcement.
This new stack connects the most widely used coding assistants with Ingite UI’s component library, documentation and theming system that enables AI to produce that fits the codebase, without developers having to rework it.
According to the company announcement, the toolchain powers AI workflows including going from idea to working application instantly, the ability to build actual views from design images for Angular, React and Web components. “Developers share a screenshot, mockup or wireframe with their AI assistant, which uses the Ignite UI CLI MCP to identify matching components and the Ignite UI Theming MCP to extract and apply a matching theme. This produces a working view without manual component lookup or theme configuration,” the company wrote.
Further, Ignite UI CLI scaffolding tools and component documentation give organizations a way to modernize their applications incrementally through the AI workflow, identifying outdated components — as well as API usage and configuration patterns — and replacing them one at a time. And finally, the Ignite UI Theming MCP Server “enables AI assistants to generate palettes, design tokens, typography, elevations and complete component themes for Angular, React, Web Components and Blazor that development teams can ship, not visual prototypes that need translating,” Infragistics explained in the announcement..
“Many developers are reaching the point where AI output looks promising until it meets a real codebase. Our enterprise MCP toolchain changes that,” said Jason Beres, COO of Infragistics, in the statement. “By connecting AI directly to Ignite UI’s components, APIs and design systems, we’re giving development teams output that ships, and a real return on the AI tools they’ve already invested in.”
From the company announcement:
“The Ultimate 26.1 release includes Ignite UI for React, which offfers AI guidance directly inside the package, so coding assistants can recognize and use the library out of the box. The new release adds PDF export across all React data grids, scroll performance that more than doubles speed on large datasets and updated multi-language support. Ignite UI for Angular 21.2 modernizes templates using the latest Angular patterns. These updates continue Infragistics’ work to make AI a native part of how teams build and ship software.”
Ultimate 26.1 is available now.
