What is Starwind UI

The Starwind UI MCP Server is a TypeScript implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) tailored for Starwind UI. It facilitates enhanced AI capabilities by providing specialized tools to assist developers when handling Starwind UI components.

Use cases

Developers can use this MCP server to initialize new Starwind UI projects, manage component installations, update commands, retrieve documentation, and fetch data for language models. This enhances the development workflow for Starwind UI applications.

How to use

To use the Starwind UI MCP Server, install the necessary dependencies, build the TypeScript code, and start the server using PNPM commands. For integration with IDEs like Windsurf, a configuration file specifying the server setup is required.

Key features

Key features include a modular tool-based architecture, access to Starwind UI documentation, package manager detection, an LLM data fetcher, TypeScript implementation for type safety, and standard input/output transport for seamless communication.

Where to use

The Starwind UI MCP Server is intended for use within development environments that support the Model Context Protocol, specifically targeting applications built with Starwind UI. Ideal for IDEs and interfaces that support local server communication.

Setup Your IDE

Instructions to set up your IDE to use a local MCP server vary by IDE. Here is an example for Windsurf:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starwind ui": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "c:\\path\\to\\folder\\starwind-ui-mcp\\dist\\server.js"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

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

Available Tools

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.
