Use it to plan an app, maintain its requirements document, build tools and views, run it locally, connect it to an assistant, and deploy it.
Why use it?
It provides the required design, implementation, debugging, testing, and deployment process for an MCP app.

About the project

alpic-ai/skybridge is a full-stack TypeScript and React framework for building MCP apps, which are interactive user interfaces connected to MCP servers and usable in clients such as Claude and ChatGPT. It helps developers create type-safe apps with development tooling, client compatibility, React hooks, and agent-oriented APIs. The catalogue skills, instructions, setting, and hook support workflows for building MCP apps with Skybridge.

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

mcp-app-builder 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creating MCP Apps

Those are conversational experiences that extend AI assistants through tools and custom UI views. They're built as MCP servers invoked during conversations.

⚠️ The app is consumed by two users at once: the human and the AI Assistant LLM. They collaborate through the view—the human interacts with it, the LLM sees its state. Internalize this before writing code: the view is your shared surface.

SPEC.md keeps track of the app's requirements and design decisions. Keep it up to date as you work on the app.

No SPEC.md? → Read discover.md first. Nothing else until SPEC.md exists.

SPEC.md exists? → Read SPEC.md, then follow architecture.md to design the change. Update SPEC.md, then read the relevant Implementation references below before writing code.

Migrating from Skybridge < 0.36.x? → Read migrate-to-v1.md first. Users may reference skybridge >= 0.36.x as v1.

Migrating from Skybridge 1.x to 2.x? → Fetch the v2.0.0 release notes first and follow them.

Building an ecommerce app? → Read ecommerce.md first.

Setup

  1. Copy templatecopy-template.md: when starting a new project with ready SPEC.md
  2. Run locallyrun-locally.md: when ready to test, need dev server or ChatGPT/Claude connection
  3. Evalsevals.md: when checking that a real model reaches the right tools from natural prompts, in a test

Architecture

Design or evolve UX flows and API shape → architecture.md

Implementation

  • Fetch and render datafetch-and-render-data.md: when implementing server handlers and view data fetching
  • State and contextstate-and-context.md: when persisting view UI state and updating LLM context
  • Prompt LLMprompt-llm.md: when view needs to trigger LLM response
  • UI guidelinesui-guidelines.md: display modes, layout constraints, theme, device, and locale
  • External linksopen-external-links.md: when redirecting to external URLs or setting "open in app" target
  • Download filedownload-file.md: when saving content to the user's filesystem
  • OAuthoauth.md: when tools need user authentication to access user-specific data
  • CSPcsp.md: when declaring allowed domains for fetch, assets, redirects, or iframes

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
