How to connect

How to connect Next.js Tailwind Assistant to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://nextjs-react-tailwind-assistant--caullenomdahl.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect Next.js Tailwind Assistant to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://nextjs-react-tailwind-assistant--caullenomdahl.run.tools

  1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

Server tool list (16)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_nextjs_full_docsGet the complete Next.js 15+ documentation (~2.5MB, ~320,000 tokens). WARNING: This returns ~320,000 tokens. Only use with LLMs that support large context windows (100k+ tokens). For smaller contexts, use 'search_nextjs_docs' instead. Covers: App Router, Server Components, Client Components, routing, layouts, pages, data fetching, Server Actions, middleware, deployment, and optimization.
get_tailwind_full_docsGet the complete Tailwind CSS documentation (~2.1MB, ~730,000 tokens). WARNING: This returns ~730,000 tokens. Only use with LLMs that support very large context windows (200k+ tokens). For smaller contexts, use 'search_tailwind_docs' instead. Covers all utility classes, concepts, responsive design, dark mode, customization, and plugins.
search_nextjs_docsSearch within the Next.js documentation for specific topics or keywords. Returns relevant excerpts matching the query. Recommended for most use cases as it provides targeted results without the full 320k token context.
search_tailwind_docsSearch within the Tailwind CSS documentation for specific utility classes or concepts. Returns relevant excerpts matching the query. Recommended for most use cases as it provides targeted results without the full 730k token context.
get_catalyst_componentRetrieve the TypeScript source code for a specific Catalyst UI component. Components include forms (button, checkbox, input, etc.), navigation (navbar, sidebar, dropdown), layout (divider, heading), feedback (alert, badge, dialog), and data display (avatar, table, pagination). All components are production-ready TypeScript React components with Tailwind styling and Headless UI integration.
list_catalyst_componentsList all 28 available Catalyst UI components organized by category. Categories include: forms (button, checkbox, fieldset, input, radio, select, switch, textarea), navigation (navbar, sidebar, dropdown, link), layout (divider, heading, stacked-layout, auth-layout), feedback (alert, badge, dialog), data-display (avatar, description-list, listbox, pagination, table, text), and advanced (combobox).
get_patternRetrieve documentation for a specific abstracted pattern. Patterns are organized into: layouts (app-header, sidebar-layout, auth-layout, overlay-navigation), pages (hero-section, pricing-page, blog-layout), and features (animations, dark-mode). Patterns include implementation details, code examples, accessibility considerations, and dependencies.
list_patternsList all available abstracted template patterns organized by category (layouts, pages, features). Patterns are abstracted from professional Next.js templates and include common architectural approaches, not template-specific implementations. Each pattern includes multiple variants, dependencies, accessibility guidelines, and dark mode support.
get_color_design_guidanceRetrieve comprehensive color design patterns documentation (~20KB). Covers color psychology, premium vs cheap distinctions, harmony systems, industry-specific guidance, and 2024-2025 modern trends. **RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW**: Due to the comprehensive nature of this content, consider using a subagent to execute the color selection workflow with full context. The subagent can analyze the guidance and make informed color decisions for your specific project.
analyze_existing_siteAnalyze an existing website or Google Business listing to extract useful information and assets for rebuilding. Extracts business info, contact details, images, content structure, site type, and design elements. **RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW**: Due to the complexity of site analysis and data extraction, use a subagent to perform the analysis. The subagent can use WebFetch to scrape the site, analyze structure, extract assets, and return organized data for the new build.
list_starter_kitsList all available template starter kits with their features, use cases, and complexity levels. Each template includes architectural decision guidance that teaches you how to choose the right libraries and patterns for your needs, rather than prescribing specific solutions. Includes: Documentation Site, SaaS Marketing, Portfolio & Blog, Agency/Studio, Content Platform, Event/Conference, App Marketing, Podcast/Media, CMS-Integrated, Pitch Deck, Admin Dashboard, and E-commerce templates.
get_starter_kitGet detailed information about a specific template starter kit including features, architectural decisions with tradeoffs, alternative approaches, and implementation guidance. Each template teaches decision-making frameworks rather than prescribing specific libraries. Use list_starter_kits to see available template IDs.
recommend_templateGet template recommendations based on your project requirements. Provide criteria like purpose, color preferences, animation level, required features, and complexity. Returns ranked template suggestions with explanations.
answer_questionnaireSubmit answers to the template selection questionnaire and receive personalized recommendations. Provide answers as a key-value object where keys are question IDs (purpose, colorPreference, animations, features, complexity) and values are your choices.
