Registry MCP Server

[treb0r]

I've been reading about the new MCP server capability in shadcn registries. Have you considered adding similar functionality to jsrepo?

It's certainly something I would consider implementing what are the benefits of something like this?

Awesome!

The dream scenario is to have an MCP server that provides tools to list and install registry items, similar to the way the shadcn registry MCP works.

If we can also provide a way to expose dependencies, JSON variables and cursor rules that would be the icing in the cake.

I think this stuff has the potential to make jsrepo an essential tool in the AI tool chain.

The use case I have in mind is a design system for Astro using Astro components. It would be great to provide all the necessary context including CSS variables, fonts, additional npm dependencies etc.

How would this context be provided?

Looking at the shadcn example, I think it's a combination of listing components / registry items and then exposing the theme with a list of values. For jsrepo I assume it needs to be abstracted so the word "theme" can be changed to whatever is more useful for each example use case.

I think the closest thing to theme that jsrepo has at the moment is configFiles

When you have the chance please give this a shot:
