majiayu000 Building with fullstackrecipes
Discover and follow recipes via MCP resources for setup guides, skills, and cookbooks. The meta-skill for using fullstackrecipes effectively.
How fullstackrecipes Works
fullstackrecipes provides setup instructions for building full-stack applications and skills to work with them. Content is organized into two types:
- Setup Recipes: Step-by-step guides to configure tools and services (e.g., setting up authentication, database, payments)
- Skills: Instructions for working with previously configured tools (e.g., writing queries, using auth, logging)
Cookbooks bundle related recipes together in sequence. For example, "Base App Setup" includes Next.js, Shadcn UI, Neon Postgres, Drizzle ORM, and AI SDK setup recipes and skills.
Accessing Recipes via MCP
The fullstackrecipes MCP server exposes all recipes and cookbooks as resources. Resources are organized by type:
recipe://- Individual setup guides and skillscookbook://- Bundled recipe sequences
Set up MCP Server
If the MCP server is not already set up, add it to your coding agent's MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fullstackrecipes": {
"url": "https://fullstackrecipes.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
Read a Specific Recipe
Fetch the full content of any recipe by its resource URI:
Read the "neon-drizzle-setup" resource from fullstackrecipes
The recipe content includes all steps, code examples, and file paths needed to complete the setup.
Best Practices for Following Recipes
Follow Recipes Exactly
Recipes are tested instructions. Follow them step-by-step without modifications unless you have a specific reason to deviate.
Complete Dependencies First
Some recipes depend on others. The MCP resource descriptions indicate prerequisites. Complete setup recipes before using their corresponding skills.
Use Skills for Day-to-Day Work
Once a tool is configured, use the skill for ongoing development. Skills contain patterns, code examples, and API references that apply to the configured tools.
Check for Updates
Recipes are updated as libraries evolve. When troubleshooting issues or starting new features, fetch the latest recipe content from the MCP server rather than relying on cached instructions.
