netlify-frameworks-tanstack

Setup guidance for deploying TanStack Start applications on Netlify, a hosting platform. TanStack Start is a React framework, and this guidance uses its Netlify Vite plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring TanStack Start and React plugins in Vite so the application can be deployed to Netlify.
Why use it?
It explains the required package and configuration and avoids relying on guessed package versions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

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

netlify-frameworks-tanstack 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 2d 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.

TanStack Start on Netlify

Setup

Check current versions before pinning. Knowledge cutoffs lag behind npm, and guessing a version tends to fail (npm install rejects it, or worse, installs something incompatible). Before pinning @netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start, @tanstack/react-start, vite, or any other package in package.json, run npm view <pkg> version to get the current latest. Or omit explicit pins and let npm install pick them up. If that check itself fails (no network, registry unreachable), still don't fall back to a guessed exact pin — install without a version (or with @latest) and tell the user live verification wasn't possible so they should confirm the installed versions. Never present an unverified x.y.z as the current release.

TanStack Start uses the @netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start plugin for deployment.

npm install -D @netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start

Register it in vite.config.ts alongside the TanStack Start and React plugins:

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { tanstackStart } from "@tanstack/react-start/plugin/vite";
import netlify from "@netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start";
import viteReact from "@vitejs/plugin-react";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [tanstackStart(), netlify(), viteReact()],
});

TanStack Start < 1.132.0: the standalone plugin isn't available. Instead pass the target: 'netlify' option to tanstackStart() in vite.config.ts (tanstackStart({ target: 'netlify' })) and don't install @netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start.

Netlify CLI deploys: deploying with the Netlify CLI requires netlify-cli ≥ 17.31.

What the Plugin Does

  • Deploys SSR, Server Routes, Server Functions, and middleware to Netlify Functions
  • Provides full local Netlify platform emulation in vite dev (no netlify dev needed)
  • Maps TanStack Start's file-based routing to Netlify's infrastructure

Server Functions

TanStack Start uses createServerFn for server-side logic. These are automatically handled by the Netlify plugin — no raw Netlify Functions needed:

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.

netlify-frameworks-tanstack is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository netlify/context-and-tools (36 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 718 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
