🚀 Quick Start

Using the Live Server (Recommended)

The server is already deployed and ready to use:

# Test the live server
curl https://spectrum2-mcp-server.philipp-koch.workers.dev

# Get all components
curl -X POST https://spectrum2-mcp-server.philipp-koch.workers.dev \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "list_all_components", "arguments": {}}}'

Deploy Your Own Instance

# Clone and deploy
git clone <this-repo>
cd spectrum2-mcp-server
npm install
npx wrangler login
npx wrangler deploy src/single-worker.ts --name your-spectrum-server

🎯 Using with Spectrum 2 Applications

Important: Use the Correct Package

This MCP server is designed for Spectrum 2 (@react-spectrum/s2), not the older Spectrum 1 package:

# ✅ Correct - Use Spectrum 2
npm install @react-spectrum/s2

# ❌ Wrong - Don't use Spectrum 1  
npm install @adobe/react-spectrum

Basic Spectrum 2 Setup

import { Provider, Button, TextField, Card } from '@react-spectrum/s2';

function App() {
  return (
    <Provider theme="light">
      <Card>
        <TextField label="Name" />
        <Button variant="accent">Submit</Button>
      </Card>
    </Provider>
  );
}

All components returned by the MCP server are available in @react-spectrum/s2 and work exactly as documented.

🔧 MCP Client Integration

For MCP-Compatible Tools

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spectrum2": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["-e", "console.log('Use HTTP endpoint instead')"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_SERVER_URL": "https://spectrum2-mcp-server.philipp-koch.workers.dev"
      }
    }
  }
}

For HTTP-Based Integration

// Direct HTTP calls to the MCP server
const response = await fetch('https://spectrum2-mcp-server.philipp-koch.workers.dev', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    method: 'tools/call',
    params: {
      name: 'get_component',
      arguments: { name: 'Button' }
    }
  })
});

const result = await response.json();
const componentData = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text);

📖 Usage

Your deployed server supports both HTTP requests and MCP protocol:

HTTP API Usage

Health Check:

GET https://your-worker-url.workers.dev

List Available Tools:

POST https://your-worker-url.workers.dev
Content-Type: application/json

{"method": "tools/list"}

Call a Tool:

POST https://spectrum2-mcp-server.philipp-koch.workers.dev
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_components",
    "arguments": {"query": "button"}
  }
}

MCP Client Integration

Add to your MCP client configuration:

For HTTP-based MCP clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spectrum2": {
      "url": "https://your-worker-url.workers.dev",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

For stdio-based MCP clients (local development):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spectrum2": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/spectrum2-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

  }]
}

🏗️ Architecture

Static Data Approach

The server uses a static data architecture for maximum reliability:

• Static Component Data: All 90 Spectrum 2 components stored locally

• No External Dependencies: No GitHub API calls, no rate limits, no failures

• Complete Coverage: Based on comprehensive analysis of @react-spectrum/s2

• Global Edge Deployment: Sub-100ms responses worldwide via Cloudflare Workers

Component Categories (90 Total)

Key Features

• Real-World Tested: Verified with actual Spectrum 2 applications

• Complete Props: All component props with types and descriptions

• Code Examples: Ready-to-use examples for each component

• Zero Maintenance: No external APIs to break or rate limit

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"KV namespace not found" error:

• KV storage is optional - comment out the KV section in wrangler.toml to deploy without caching

• The server works perfectly without KV storage

Deployment errors:

• Ensure you're logged in: npx wrangler login

• Check your account has Workers enabled

• Verify the worker name is unique

Tool not found errors:

• Use the correct tool names: list_all_components, get_component, search_components

• Check the MCP protocol format in your requests

Performance Tips

1. KV Storage: Optional but provides additional caching benefits

2. Global Distribution: Cloudflare Workers automatically distribute globally

3. Static Data: No external API calls means consistent fast performance
