Skybridge

✨ Why Skybridge?

ChatGPT Apps and MCP Apps let you embed rich, interactive UIs directly in AI conversations. But the raw SDKs are low-level—no hooks, no type safety, no dev tools, and no HMR.

Skybridge fixes that.

🌐 Write once, run everywhere — Skybridge works seamlessly with ChatGPT (Apps SDK) and MCP-compatible clients.	✅ End-to-End Type Safety — tRPC-style inference from server to view. Autocomplete everywhere.
🔄 View-to-Model Sync — Keep the model aware of UI state with data-llm. Dual surfaces, one source of truth.	⚒️ React Query-style Hooks — isPending, isError, callbacks. State management you already know.
👨‍💻 Full dev environment — HMR, debug traces, and local devtools.	📦 Showcase Examples — Production-ready examples to learn from and build upon.

🚀 Get Started

Create a new app:

npm create skybridge@latest

Or add to an existing project:

npm i skybridge
yarn add skybridge
pnpm add skybridge
bun add skybridge
deno add skybridge

📦 Architecture

Skybridge is a fullstack framework with unified server and client modules:

• skybridge/server — Define tools and views with full type inference. Extends the MCP SDK.
• skybridge/web — React hooks that consume your server types. Works with Apps SDK (ChatGPT) and MCP Apps.
• Dev Environment — Vite plugin with HMR, DevTools emulator, and optimized builds.

Server

import { McpServer } from "skybridge/server";

server.registerView("flights", {}, {
  inputSchema: { destination: z.string() },
}, async ({ destination }) => {
  const flights = await searchFlights(destination);
  return { structuredContent: { flights } };
});

View

import { useToolInfo } from "skybridge/web";

function FlightsView() {
  const { output } = useToolInfo();

  return output.structuredContent.flights.map(flight =>
    <FlightCard key={flight.id} flight={flight} />
  );
}
