Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Install & correctly use appCN React Native / Expo components, streamed from the live registry.

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.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: APPCN_REGISTRY_URL

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appcn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@app-cn/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPCN_REGISTRY_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add appcn --env APPCN_REGISTRY_URL=your-value -- npx -y @app-cn/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appcn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@app-cn/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPCN_REGISTRY_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "appcn": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@app-cn/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APPCN_REGISTRY_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

  • APPCN_REGISTRY_URL env
    Override the appCN registry base URL the server fetches from (default https://appcn.vercel.app/r).

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

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Basic checksi

Common questions

Is appCN safe?

It passed 0 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

appCN

Copy-paste mobile components for React Native + Expo.

A shadcn-philosophy library: you own the source, NativeWind styles the surface, Reanimated drives the motion — and the featured AI-native collection ships streaming bubbles, prompt composers, reasoning traces, and a reactive 3D voice orb.

[Browse components](https://appcn.vercel.app/components) · [CLI docs](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/cli) · [Mobile app](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/mobile-app) · [Live showcase](https://appcn-showcase.vercel.app) · [GitHub](https://github.com/Salah-XD/appCN)


Quick start

The CLI handles NativeWind + Reanimated wiring and registers the @app-cn shadcn namespace for you. One command to set up, one to add a component.

# 1. (Recommended) One-shot project setup

npx @app-cn/cli@latest init

2. Add any component by slug

npx @app-cn/cli@latest add voice-sphere

Prefer your own pipeline? appcn add is a thin wrapper around shadcn — you can skip the CLI entirely:

# Copy a single component via shadcn (no setup, one-off)

npx shadcn@latest add https://appcn.vercel.app/r/voice-sphere.json

Or pull the whole library as a managed dep

npm install @app-cn/ui

Building with an AI agent? Add the appCN MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf can discover and install components for you — and write new code in appCN's motion/haptic style:

# Claude Code

claude mcp add appcn -- npx -y @app-cn/mcp

See [MCP docs](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/mcp) for Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code config.

Status: v0.1.0 live on npm. Five components shipped — the AI collection

is the marketed wedge and is the first place to land new work.


What's in the box

New: appCN is live on real phones — scan a QR with [Expo Go](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/mobile-app)

and the entire component gallery loads on Android or iPhone in seconds.

No emulator, no developer account. Standalone Play Store APK is in review —

shipping soon.

ButtonSpring-y press scale to 0.96, settles in 140 ms — feels weighted, never twitchy

ComponentDelight
StreamBubbleThree-phase thinking → token stream → settle
PromptInputSend morphs into a stop with a spinning ring
ReasoningTraceAuto-collapses the instant the answer lands
VoiceSphereReactive 3D orb that breathes with voice level

Every component has an interactive web preview, a QR you can scan with Expo Go to run it live on your phone, and a video — same code path on every surface. → [appcn.vercel.app/components](https://appcn.vercel.app/components)


Why appCN

  • Real-phone previews. Scan a QR with Expo Go and the component runs live on your device with native gestures. No emulator gymnastics.
  • AI-native flagship. The AI collection is the wedge — components built for AI apps that nobody else ships well.
  • Quadruple distribution. The appcn CLI, the shadcn registry, @app-cn/ui from npm — or the MCP server, so your AI coding agent installs components for you. Same primitives, your call.
  • Motion-first defaults. Reanimated + gesture-handler, shared motion tokens (duration / easing / spring), one delight detail per component.
  • Dark-mode first. Designed dark, then derived to light. Premium reads as depth, not rainbows.
  • You own the source. Copy-paste philosophy means no lock-in — once a component lands in your repo, edit freely.

Documentation

SurfaceWhat's there
[appcn.vercel.app](https://appcn.vercel.app)Live docs site — landing, every component, live previews
[CLI docs](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/cli)init, add, env vars, the idempotency contract
[Mobile app](https://appcn.vercel.app/docs/mobile-app)Play Store + Expo Go install paths, deep-link contract
[`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md)Architecture, monorepo map, commands, Metro/Reanimated gotchas

Contributing

Every new component ships through the 8-step SOP in DESIGN.md → Component checklist. Don't skip steps — the PR template enforces them and a missing changeset blocks the release pipeline.

Working with an AI agent? Invoke the `/new-component` Claude skill — it walks the checklist, drops a typed .meta.ts template ready to fill, wires the registry + showcase entries, and verifies with typecheck + registry build.

Full guide: CONTRIBUTING.md.


Releases

Releases are driven by Changesets and published to npm via OIDC Trusted Publishing — zero long-lived secrets.

pnpm changeset           # describe what changed + pick a bump

git commit -am "..." # commit the changeset alongside your code

Open a PR. After merge to main, a "Version Packages" PR opens automatically.

Merge that PR → CI publishes via OIDC.

Every published version gets a verified provenance badge on npm.


Deploying

The site is two Vercel projects from one monorepo — click for setup.

ProjectVercel root directoryWhat it serves
Docsapps/webLanding, /components/*, /docs/*, the shadcn registry at /r/*.json
Showcaseapps/showcaseExpo web export — the iframe target for interactive previews

Deploy order (matters):

  1. Deploy the showcase first (apps/showcase) so you have a URL.
  2. Deploy the docs, setting NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOWCASE_WEB_URL to that URL.
  3. Optional: custom domains (appcn.vercel.app → docs, appcn-showcase.vercel.app → showcase).

Required env vars (docs project):

VariableValue
NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOWCASE_WEB_URLhttps:// .vercel.app
NEXT_PUBLIC_EXPO_URL*(empty for v1 — needs EAS Update for the QR tab)*
NEXT_PUBLIC_REGISTRY_URLhttps:// /r

The showcase project needs no env vars. Defaults live in apps/web/.env.example.
