# React + Tailwind MCP Server Template
A full-stack template for building
[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers
with a modern React frontend. This template provides a complete development
environment where your MCP server not only exposes tools and workflows to AI
agents but also serves a beautiful web interface built with React and Tailwind
CSS.
## ✨ Features
- **🤖 MCP Server**: Cloudflare Workers-based server with typed tools and
workflows
- **⚛️ React Frontend**: Modern React app with Vite, TanStack Router, and
Tailwind CSS
- **🎨 UI Components**: Pre-configured shadcn/ui components for rapid
development
- **🔧 Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support with auto-generated RPC client
types
- **🚀 Hot Reload**: Live development with automatic rebuilding for both
frontend and backend
- **☁️ Ready to Deploy**: One-command deployment to Cloudflare Workers
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Node.js ≥18.0.0
- Deno ≥2.0.0
- [Deco CLI](https://deco.chat): `deno install -Ar -g -n deco jsr:@deco/cli`
### Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Configure your app
npm run configure
# Start development server
npm run dev
```
The server will start on `http://localhost:8787` serving both your MCP endpoints
and the React frontend.

## 🛠️ Development Workflow
- **`npm run dev`** - Start development with hot reload
- **`npm run gen`** - Generate types for external integrations
- **`npm run gen:self`** - Generate types for your own tools/workflows
- **`npm run deploy`** - Deploy to production
## 🔗 Frontend ↔ Server Communication
The template includes a fully-typed RPC client that connects your React frontend
to your MCP server:
```typescript
// Typed calls to your server tools and workflows
const result = await client.tools.MY_TOOL({ input: "data" });
const workflowResult = await client.workflows.MY_WORKFLOW({ input: "data" });
```
## 📖 Learn More
This template is built for deploying primarily on top of the
[Deco platform](https://deco.chat/about) which can be found at the
