How do I install Starwind Ui?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Starwind Ui need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Starwind Ui use?

Starwind Ui runs locally over stdio.

When was Starwind Ui last checked?

Questions

A TypeScript Model Context Protocol server for Starwind UI v3 and Starwind Pro. It gives AI clients current, framework-aware guidance for Astro and React projects.

Quick start

For the maintained client setup guide, see the Starwind UI MCP documentation.

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.starwind_ui]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@starwind-ui/mcp"]
enabled = true

Claude Code (.mcp.json) or Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

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

Restart the client or reload its MCP servers after changing the configuration.

v3 model

Starwind UI v3 has three related surfaces. The MCP keeps them distinct:

Surface	What it represents	MCP behavior
Styled components	Copy-owned UI components with Astro and/or React implementations	Search and install with `starwind_search` and `starwind_add`
Primitives	Lower-level Astro and React adapters, backed by Starwind Runtime where applicable	Search with `surface: "primitive"`; install with the v3 `primitives add` command
Runtime	Framework-neutral behavior APIs	Fetch with `starwind_docs` using the Runtime topic or surface

The server validates these layers against the versioned ai-manifest.json, caches validated data, and falls back to a bundled v3 snapshot if the site is unavailable.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`starwind_init`	Generate v3 initialization commands for an existing Astro or React project. Pro is opt-in.
`starwind_add`	Validate requests and generate installation or deferred-install commands for styled components, primitives, or Astro-only Pro blocks.
`starwind_search`	Search styled components, primitives, and Pro blocks with framework metadata and filters.
`starwind_docs`	Resolve exact component, primitive, Runtime, migration, and framework documentation.
`starwind_migrate`	Inspect a project and generate safe, interactive-first v2-to-v3 migration guidance.

Tool calls return both readable JSON text and MCP structuredContent.

Requirements and behavior

Generated v3 CLI commands require Node.js 22.12.0 or newer.
starwind_init targets existing Astro 5+ or React 18+ projects and lets the CLI auto-detect the framework unless framework is supplied.
Free @starwind-pro/* catalog blocks work after ordinary initialization. Paid blocks require explicit authorization; pass pro: true only when it is required.
Starwind Pro blocks currently target Astro. React searches omit them, and React add requests reject them explicitly.
Migration is interactive by default. Set yes: true only when backup-and-overwrite behavior is intended.
Package-manager and project context are detected locally when possible, and add commands pass the resolved package manager to the CLI. No tool executes the generated command.

Upgrading from free to Pro

The MCP keeps Pro discoverable without forcing paid setup. Search results link to the Pro catalog, free Pro blocks remain directly installable, and paid results include a structured proUpgrade path with purchase and installation links.

For an existing Astro project, the MCP recommends:

pnpm dlx starwind@latest setup --yes

The setup command auto-detects the project's package manager, so it does not need a --package-manager flag. It prepares the Pro registry and .env.local; replace the STARWIND_LICENSE_KEY placeholder with the purchased key, then run the returned deferredCommand. Treat the key as sensitive: keep .env.local out of source control and never expose the key in logs or client-side code. A project initialized with pro: true receives the equivalent init --pro command instead.

Development

pnpm build
pnpm lint
pnpm test:run

Run the opt-in production manifest contract test with:

RUN_LIVE_CONTRACT_TESTS=1 pnpm test:run src/utils/starwind_live_contract.test.ts
