cdk/TROUBLESHOOTING.md
-
MCP Server Not Starting
- Build first:
cd mcp-ui-server && npm run build
- Check TypeScript compilation errors
- Verify Node.js version (18+)
- Build first:
-
Template Not Rendering
- Check template component exists in
components/templates/

});
š° Cost Optimization
Monthly Cost Breakdown (Production)
Component | Cost | Description |
---|---|---|
ECS Fargate | ~$35 | 2 tasks Ć 1vCPU Ć 2GB RAM |
Application Load Balancer | ~$20 | Private ALB with health checks |
NAT Gateway | ~$45 | Single NAT for cost optimization |
CloudFront | ~$5 | Pay-per-use (low traffic estimate) |
CloudWatch Logs | ~$5 | 1-week retention |
Amazon Bedrock | Variable | Pay-per-token usage |
Total Infrastructure | ~$110/month | Base infrastructure cost |
Cost Optimization Tips
- Use single NAT Gateway (already configured)
- Implement CloudFront caching
- Set appropriate log retention periods
- Monitor and adjust auto-scaling thresholds
š¤ How It Works
The system consists of two main components:
-
MCP Server (
mcp-ui-server/
): A TypeScript server implementing Model Context Protocol to generate UI template configurations with realistic data -
Next.js Chatbot (
/
): A React application with Amazon Bedrock integration providing conversational interface for template generation
The chatbot uses Claude 4 Sonnet via Amazon Bedrock to understand user requests and translate them into MCP tool calls, generating rich UI templates rendered as React components.
