Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Verified lessons for your project's packages and versions, and free React components to install.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • install_product

    Put an UpFork component or landing page into the user's React + Tailwind CSS project. Answers short: the one-line `npx shadcn@latest add` command that installs it all, the product's AI summary (its entry point, key props and one example), the npm packages and shadcn/ui components

  • sign_in

    Only when the user wants something that needs their UpFork account: saying a lesson worked or didn't, their account, installing a product that isn't free, a product's AI prompt, support tickets, their profile and résumé, articles, lesson drafts or team lessons. Ask the user first

  • search_lessons

    Lessons alone, from UpFork's published articles: what a developer or their AI learned building a product that they didn't know before, verified on it (what was assumed, what happened, why, the fix, the evidence), without reading the articles. Before building or fixing something,

  • preflight

    Call it at the start of work, before writing code: send a sentence about the task and, once the project has a package.json, its dependencies and devDependencies as they are (or one name → version map). In an empty folder the sentence alone is enough: it finds the lessons about th

  • view_product

    One UpFork product by its slug (from search_products, or its address upfork.dev/products/ ). It answers short: the product's AI summary first (what it is, the install line, the entry point, the key props, one example, which files to read next, related lessons: about 1,500 charact

  • read_product_file

    One file of an UpFork product's live code, its lines numbered exactly as an article's ::file{path lines} block counts them (400 lines a call), or, without path, the list of its files and their lengths. The code anyone may read on the product's page: free products' for everyone, t

  • search_products

    Search UpFork (upfork.dev): React + Tailwind CSS components (installed with the shadcn CLI), landing pages, full-stack projects and mobile (React Native) components. Describe what's wanted in plain words ("a pricing table with a yearly switch", "testimonials that scroll"); typos

  • get_lesson

    One lesson by its number (L-7KQ2, from search_lessons or its address upfork.dev/lessons/ ), whole: what was assumed, what happened, why, the fix and the evidence; with short hits of related lessons about the same packages or from the same article (get_lesson reads any of them). N

Common questions

Is UpFork safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.13.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
