Community Servers

Local MCP server implementation for Starwind UI that you can use with Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI tools

What is starwind-ui-mcp

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.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the TypeScript code
pnpm build

# Start the server
pnpm start

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

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

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.

Adding New Tools

To add your own tools to the server:

  1. Create a new tool file in the src/tools/ directory
  2. Register the tool in src/tools/index.ts
  3. Enable the tool in src/config/settings.ts
  4. Rebuild the server with pnpm build
  5. Restart the server with pnpm start

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
