Starwind UI MCP Server

A TypeScript implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Starwind UI, providing tools to help developers work with Starwind UI components when leveraging AI tools like Claude, Windsurf, Cursor, and more.

Quick Start

Using npx

Instructions to set up your IDE to use a local MCP server vary by IDE. Here are examples for different platforms:

Windsurf:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"starwind-ui": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "@starwind-ui/mcp"],
			"env": {}
		}
	}
}

Cursor:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"starwind-ui": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "@starwind-ui/mcp"],
			"env": {}
		}
	}
}

Claude Code:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"starwind-ui": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "@starwind-ui/mcp"],
			"env": {}
		}
	}
}

Detailed instructions:

Installing via Smithery

To install Starwind UI MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @starwind-ui/starwind-ui-mcp --client claude

Available Tools

Tool Name	Description
`init_project`	Initializes a new Starwind UI project
`install_component`	Generates installation commands for Starwind UI components
`update_component`	Generates update commands for Starwind UI components
`get_documentation`	Returns documentation links for Starwind UI components and guides
`fetch_llm_data`	Fetches LLM data from starwind.dev (rate limited, with caching)
`get_package_manager`	Detects and returns the current package manager information

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a protocol for extending AI capabilities through local servers. This implementation provides Starwind UI-specific tools to enhance AI assistant capabilities when working with Starwind UI. For more information about MCP itself, please visit the official documentation.

Features

Tool-based Architecture - Modular design for easy addition of new tools
Starwind UI Documentation Tool - Access documentation links for Starwind UI components
Package Manager Detection - Detect and use the appropriate package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm)
LLM Data Fetcher - Retrieve Starwind UI information for LLMs with caching and rate limiting
TypeScript Implementation - Built with TypeScript for better type safety and developer experience
Standard I/O Transport - Uses stdio for communication with AI assistants

Development

This project is set up to use PNPM for package manager for development purposes. If you are not using pnpm, you will need to update the package.json file with the appropriate package manager commands you need.
