tailwindcss-mcp-server CLAUDE.md

tailwindcss-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from CarbonoDev/tailwindcss-mcp-server. It costs 581 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for a TypeScript MCP server that helps AI assistants understand and use Tailwind CSS. Tailwind CSS is a framework where styling is applied through small utility class names, and the server also supports practical CSS-related actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, watching, testing, or debugging tools for Tailwind documentation, utilities, configuration, CSS-to-utility conversion, installation, component generation, or color palettes. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to call external services.
Why use it?
It describes the available information and action areas so an agent can develop and test the server without guessing its purpose or commands.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tailwindcss-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

This is a TypeScript-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for TailwindCSS, providing comprehensive tools for AI agents to understand and work with the TailwindCSS utility-first framework. The server offers both informational tools (documentation, utilities, configuration) and action tools (installation, CSS conversion, component generation).

Development Commands

Build & Development

  • npm install - Install dependencies
  • npm run build - Build TypeScript to JavaScript and set executable permissions
  • npm run watch - Watch mode for development (auto-rebuilds on file changes)

Testing & Debugging

  • npm run inspector - Launch MCP Inspector for debugging the server through a web interface

Architecture & Key Components

Project Goals

  1. Primary: Enable AI agents to provide accurate TailwindCSS guidance by accessing comprehensive documentation, utility classes, and configuration patterns
  2. Secondary: Execute practical actions like installing TailwindCSS, converting CSS to utilities, generating color palettes, and creating component templates

Planned MCP Tools

Information Tools:

  • get_tailwind_utilities - Retrieve utility class information by category (spacing, colors, typography, etc.)
  • get_tailwind_colors - Access the complete color palette with shades
  • get_tailwind_config_guide - Framework-specific configuration guidance
  • search_tailwind_docs - Full-text search across documentation

Action Tools:

  • install_tailwind - Generate installation commands for any framework
  • convert_css_to_tailwind - Convert traditional CSS to utility classes
  • generate_color_palette - Create custom color schemes
  • analyze_tailwind_usage - Audit and optimize TailwindCSS usage in projects
  • generate_component_template - Create HTML templates with TailwindCSS utilities

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
