Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Build personal interactive apps with real URLs and persistent storage, using any AI.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Common questions

Is Charming 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 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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, SuperCollider

Charming MCP Server

Charming is a hosted MCP server that generates, hosts, and updates interactive web apps. Connect it to any MCP-compatible AI client and ask it to build an app. You get back a live URL in seconds.

Connect

ClientEndpoint
Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and most MCP clientshttps://charm.ing/mcp
ChatGPThttps://charm.ing/mcp/chatgpt (one-click via the Charming listing in the ChatGPT Apps directory; this paste-string is the Developer Mode fallback)

Most MCP clients can use this remote configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "charming": { "url": "https://charm.ing/mcp", "type": "streamableHttp" } } }

The MCP endpoints require a bearer token, and OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration bootstraps one automatically: clients that support it show a one-time consent screen, with no API key to paste. Anonymous creation with no token is available on the HTTP path only. Auth guide: usecharming.com/auth.md.

For per-client paste-strings and setup steps, see usecharming.com/clients.txt.

Starter Prompt

Once Charming is connected, paste this to start a build session:

Help me figure out what to build. Look at what you know about me and suggest 2-3 apps that fit, or ask me up to 3 short questions to find an idea.

Read https://usecharming.com/start.md then help me create my first app.

Tools

Charming exposes 39 tools. Connected clients discover them automatically via tools/list.

ToolWhat it does
create_appStore an agent-authored module (a manifest plus routes) with optional UI and CSS, and render it inline. Requires a description. Give the user the returned token-free shareUrl, never the machine-only url.
update_appEdit an existing app by replacing its module/UI/styles/description or applying exact-string edits, with optimistic-concurrency versioning.
get_appRender an existing app inline (where the client supports it) and return its callable API operations and metadata.
get_app_sourceReturn the persisted module, UI, and styles for an existing app plus its current version.
list_appsList the caller's apps plus apps shared with them, newest first, with each app's role, description, and capabilities.
delete_appPermanently delete an app you own. Irreversible and confirmation-gated: it fails closed until re-invoked with confirm: true. Pass purge_storage: true to also wipe stored state.
upload_assetStore a static asset (image, PDF, dataset) so app code stays small; readable back same-origin.
rename_appChange an app's URL slug. The old URL keeps working by redirecting.
set_remixableMark an app remixable so visitors get their own editable copy.
unset_remixableStop allowing remixes; existing remixes survive untouched.
set_starter_promptSet or clear the prompt prefilled in the chat host when a visitor opens a shared app.
query_appRun a read-only backend operation inside an app module.
mutate_appRun a mutating backend operation inside an app module without editing code.
submit_feedbackRecord agent-authored feedback (bugs, enhancements, crash reports) about an app.
list_feedbackList feedback rows for the caller's apps, newest first.
set_handleChange the signed-in user's handle (the first segment of their app URLs).
share_appInvite someone to an app as collaborator (default), end-user (run and write data, cannot edit source), or viewer (read-only). Calling it again with a role changes their role in place.
unshare_appRevoke access for any grantee, whether the invitation is still pending or already accepted.
list_app_sharesList active and pending share invites for one of your apps.
set_publicMake an app public: anyone with the URL can open it with no login and read AND write its shared data. Warn the user that every anonymous visitor shares one data pool, so anyone with the URL can overwrite or wipe it.
unset_publicMake a public app private again; anonymous visitors can no longer open it.
set_templatePublish an app as a template so anyone opening its URL gets their own brand-new copy, leaving the original untouched. Pass listed: true to also list it in the public directory. Omitting listed leaves the current listing state alone. The app must be claimed first.
unset_templateStop treating an app as a template: new visitors can no longer copy it, and any public listing is cleared. Existing copies survive.
search_templatesSearch the public Charming template directory by keyword. Check here for an existing template before calling create_app, or when the user asks what templates exist. Each hit carries a copyUrl a visitor can open to mint their own independent copy with no login.
acknowledge_feedback_responsesAcknowledge feedback responses after the agent has processed them.
cancel_app_buildUse this to cancel an accepted app build before it publishes.
create_routineUse this when the user wants an app op to run on its own, on a timer — no chat needs to be open.
delete_routineUse this to stop and remove a Routine.
get_app_buildUse this to inspect an accepted app build without running or publishing it.
list_feedback_responsesFetch unread Charming staff responses to feedback submitted by this authenticated account.
list_routinesUse this to see the caller's Routines across their apps.
read_docsRead Charming documentation without web access.
update_routineUse this to change a Routine's interval, or enable/disable it.
create_webhookUse this when an external service (Zapier, a payment provider, a partner backend) needs to call one of an app's ops directly.
delete_webhookUse this to remove a Webhook.
list_webhooksUse this to see the Webhooks on every app the caller can edit, with delivery state.
update_webhookUse this to rename a Webhook, enable/disable it, or rotate its secret.
copy_appUse this to make the signed-in user a private copy of an existing app in one call, without reading or re-sending its source.
resolve_handoffResolve a Charming handoff reference into diagnostic data about a problem in one of the caller's apps.

Use with a coding agent

Working in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI coding agent? Install the optional Charming authoring skill from skills.sh with npx skills add tambo-labs/charming-mcp. This installs authoring guidance; it does not connect the MCP server.

It teaches the agent Charming's build contract and workflow. The skill itself is SKILL.md; AGENTS.md has connect and authoring instructions for any AI coding agent. Codex users can instead install the bundled Charming Codex plugin.

Cursor

Cursor reads project rules from .cursor/rules/. Drop .cursor/rules/charming.mdc into your project (or copy its body into a legacy root .cursorrules) and Cursor's agent will reach for Charming (real URL, storage, and inline rendering) whenever you ask for an app you want to keep. The rule points at the served docs; it does not duplicate the contract.

Distribution

This repository is the canonical source for every public Charming integration package. Platform-neutral artifacts are hand-edited; platform adapters are generated from them, so a fact lives in exactly one file.

Documentation

Built with Composio

Charming uses Composio to connect apps with external services such as Gmail, Google Drive, and GitHub. Composio holds each OAuth token and runs each connector call; Charming decides whether a call may run and whose connection serves it.
