Flowbite-Svelte MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Flowbite-Svelte documentation.
It exposes tools to find components, query component docs, list components, and do full-text search, via stdio transport.

Features

🔍 Find Components - Search for components by name or category
📚 Get Documentation - Retrieve full component documentation
📋 List All Components - Get a complete list of available components
🔎 Full-Text Search - Search across all documentation

Getting Started

Installation

git clone git@github.com:shinokada/flowbite-svelte-mcp.git
cd flowbite-svelte-mcp
pnpm install

Setup

# Build the project (TypeScript compilation + data copy)
pnpm run build

Usage

This server uses stdio transport, so it's compatible with MCP clients that launch via stdin/stdout (e.g. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, MCP Inspector).

Claude Desktop

Locate your configuration file:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Edit the file. If it doesn't exist, create it. Add your server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowbite-svelte": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/flowbite-svelte-mcp/build/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.
Test it! Ask Claude:
- "Search the flowbite-svelte docs for how to use an Accordion, then give me the component details."
- "How do I use the flowbite-svelte checkbox component?"
- "What components are available in flowbite-svelte?"

Available Tools

Technical Details

Architecture

Framework: Built with tmcp (TypeScript MCP SDK)
Transport: Stdio transport for MCP client communication
Schema Validation: Zod with JSON Schema adapter
Documentation Source: Local files copied from flowbite-svelte.com

Data Flow

https://flowbite-svelte.com/llm/
          ↓ (copy:llm script)
src/data/llm/
          ↓ (build → postbuild)
build/data/llm/
          ↓ (runtime)
MCP Tools → Claude/Client

Why Local Files?

We store documentation files locally (instead of fetching remotely) for:

⚡ Performance - No network latency
🔌 Offline Support - Works without internet
🎯 Reliability - No external service dependencies
📦 Self-Contained - Everything bundled together
🔒 Security - Reduces external attack surface and eliminates need for runtime network permissions/calls.

Testing

The project includes a comprehensive test suite using Vitest:

# Run all tests
pnpm test

# Watch mode (auto-rerun on changes)
pnpm test:watch

# Coverage report
pnpm test:coverage

See for more details on the test suite.

Troubleshooting

Build fails with missing modules

Solution: Run pnpm install to ensure all dependencies are installed.

Tools not working in Claude Desktop

Solutions:

Check that the path in claude_desktop_config.json is correct and absolute
Restart Claude Desktop after making configuration changes
Check Claude Desktop logs for errors
