🚀 Quick Start

Install via Smithery (Recommended)

The easiest way to install this MCP server is through Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @CaullenOmdahl/tailwind-svelte-assistant --client claude

This will automatically:

• Install the server
• Configure it for Claude Desktop
• Set up all required dependencies

Install via Direct URL

For other MCP clients, use the direct server URL:

https://server.smithery.ai/@CaullenOmdahl/tailwind-svelte-assistant/mcp

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tailwind-svelte-assistant": {
      "url": "https://server.smithery.ai/@CaullenOmdahl/tailwind-svelte-assistant/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

🛠️ Manual Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+ (required for ES modules support and dependencies)
• npm or yarn
• Git (for cloning repository)

Install Dependencies

npm install

Build the Server

npm run build

Development Mode

npm run watch

🔧 Configuration

The server uses secure defaults but can be configured via the ServerConfig interface:

const CONFIG: ServerConfig = {
  maxFileSize: 3 * 1024 * 1024,    // 3MB max file size (for full docs)
  cacheTimeout: 5 * 60 * 1000,     // 5 minutes cache timeout
  contentBasePath: './content',
  svelteFullDocsPath: './content/docs/svelte-sveltekit-full.txt',
  tailwindFullDocsPath: './content/docs/tailwind-docs-full.txt',
  // ... other paths
};

Documentation Updates

Documentation is automatically downloaded and updated:

# Update all documentation (Svelte + Tailwind)
npm run update-content

This script:

• Downloads official Svelte LLM-optimized docs (svelte.dev/llms-full.txt)
• Extracts complete Tailwind docs from GitHub via Repomix
• Updates component snippet timestamps
• Generates content summary

Sources:

• Svelte/SvelteKit: Official LLM-optimized text file (100% coverage)
• Tailwind CSS: GitHub repository via Repomix extraction (249 MDX files)
• Snippets: Local curated component examples (43 files)

🛡️ Security Features

Input Validation

• Pattern Matching: Only alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, and dots allowed
• Length Limits: Configurable maximum input lengths
• Path Sanitization: Removes directory traversal attempts
• Bounds Checking: Ensures file access stays within allowed directories

Error Handling

• Safe Error Messages: No sensitive information exposed to clients
• Structured Logging: JSON-formatted audit logs for security monitoring
• Error Classification: Different handling for different error types
• Graceful Degradation: Fallback responses for non-critical failures

File System Security

• Path Validation: Verifies resolved paths are within base directories
• File Size Limits: Prevents resource exhaustion attacks
• Read-Only Operations: No write operations exposed to clients
• Cache Isolation: Content caching doesn't expose file system structure

📊 Performance Features

Caching System

// Automatic content caching with configurable timeout
const fileService = new SecureFileService(
  1024 * 1024,    // Max file size
  5 * 60 * 1000   // Cache timeout (5 minutes)
);

Resource Management

• Memory Limits: File size restrictions prevent memory exhaustion
• Cache Cleanup: Automatic removal of expired cache entries
• Async I/O: Non-blocking file operations
• Error Recovery: Graceful handling of resource limitations
