View guide →Skybridge: the full-stack TypeScript framework for building type-safe MCP Apps and ChatGPT Apps with React.
skybridge is an open-source dev tools project by alpic-ai (alpic-ai/skybridge on GitHub). It has 2,150 GitHub stars and 141 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Decide what interactive app you want to embed in an MCP client, such as a booking flow, dashboard, or product carousel.
Bootstrap a new project with the create command, or add the Skybridge skill to your coding agent to scaffold within an existing codebase.
Build your server tools and React views using the framework's hooks and end-to-end type inference, testing in the local emulator.
Use the dev server's tunnel to try the app live inside Claude or ChatGPT, then deploy to Alpic or your own Node.js host.
tRPC-style inference carries types from the MCP server tool definitions through to the React views.
A dev server with a local emulator, hot module reload, and a permanent tunnel to connect the local app to Claude and ChatGPT.
The framework abstracts client differences so apps run in Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, and other MCP Apps-compatible clients.
React Query-style hooks with advanced state management for synchronising UI, model, and server data.
Skills, a CLI, and programmatic dev APIs let coding agents build and migrate MCP Apps end to end.
Ready examples for ecommerce, travel, SaaS, games, dashboards, and several OAuth providers to start from.
Most developers scaffold a fresh app instead of cloning the framework.
git clone https://github.com/alpic-ai/skybridge.git
cd skybridgeThe create command generates a ready Skybridge project.
npm create skybridge@latest my-appInstall the Skybridge skill so your coding agent can create or migrate an MCP App.
npx skills add alpic-ai/skybridge -s skybridgeIt is built and maintained by the Alpic team (alpic-ai), with named individual maintainers in the README.
Yes, Skybridge is MIT-licensed and free, and apps can be self-hosted on any Node.js platform; Alpic hosting is an optional commercial convenience.
No API key is needed for the framework itself; your app uses whatever model and services your MCP client and server already use.
The raw MCP Apps SDKs are low-level, without hooks, type safety, or hot reload; Skybridge layers a React framework, dev tooling, and client abstraction on top of them.
Run npm create skybridge@latest my-app and follow the quickstart guide in the documentation.
