Quickstart

Using NPX

The simplest way to use Flowbite MCP Server:

npx flowbite-mcp

Environment variables

Currently you only need the Figma personal access token if you want to enable the Figma to code generation tool.

// other options "env": { "FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PERSONAL_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" }

You set this variable in your MCP client configuration file.

Integration examples

Use the following configuration examples to install the Flowbite MCP server in popular clients such as Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, and others.

Claude desktop

Update the claude_desktop_config.json file and add the following configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "flowbite": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "flowbite-mcp"], "env": { "FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PERSONAL_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" } } } }

Cursor editor

Install MCP Server

Update the mcp.json file and add the following configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "flowbite": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "flowbite-mcp"], "env": { "FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PERSONAL_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" } } } }

Windsurf editor

Update the mcp_config.json file and add the following configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "flowbite": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "flowbite-mcp"], "env": { "FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PERSONAL_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" } } } }

Local Transport Modes

Standard I/O (stdio)

The default mode for local development and CLI integrations:

# Start in stdio mode (default) node build/index.js { "mcpServers": { "flowbite": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/flowbite-mcp/build/index.js"], "env": { "FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_PERSONAL_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" } } } }

Learn how to get the Figma personal access token to enable the Figma to code generation tool.

HTTP server

HTTP-based transport for production and multi-client scenarios:

node build/index.js --mode http --port 3000

This will make the MCP server available at 'http://localhost:3000/mcp'.

Local development

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/themesberg/flowbite-mcp.git cd flowbite-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build # Run in stdio mode (for Claude Desktop, Cursor) npm start # Run inspector npm run start inspector # Run in HTTP server mode (for production/multi-client) MCP_TRANSPORT_MODE=http npm start

Production deployment (HTTP Mode)

For production servers with multiple clients:

# Using npx npx flowbite-mcp --mode http --port 3000 # Using Docker Compose docker-compose up -d # Health check curl http://localhost:3000/health

Hosting variables

Configure the server behavior with these environment variables:

# Transport mode: stdio (default) or http MCP_TRANSPORT_MODE=http # Server port for HTTP mode MCP_PORT=3000 # Host binding for HTTP mode MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 # CORS origins (comma-separated) MCP_CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000,https://myapp.com

Docker Configuration

The project includes a production-ready Docker setup with multi-stage builds for optimal performance.

Quickstart with Docker

# Build and run with Docker Compose (recommended) docker-compose up -d # Check health curl http://localhost:3000/health # View logs docker-compose logs -f # Stop docker-compose down

MCP inspector

Use the MCP Inspector for interactive debugging:

npm run inspector

Logging

Check server logs for detailed information:

# stdio mode logs to console node build/index.js # HTTP mode includes HTTP request logs MCP_TRANSPORT_MODE=http node build/index.js
