Quickstart

Using NPX

The simplest way to use Flowbite MCP Server:

# Run directly with npx (no installation needed)
npx flowbite-mcp

# Show help and options
npx flowbite-mcp --help

# Run in HTTP server mode for production
npx flowbite-mcp --mode http --port 3000

Transport Modes

Standard I/O (stdio)

The default mode for local development and CLI integrations:

# Start in stdio mode (default)
node build/index.js

# Configure in Claude Desktop config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowbite": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/flowbite-mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

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'.

Environment 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

Integration examples

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

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