BotKelp
Verified component catalog over remote MCP: agents pick ids and get a project that builds.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http botkelp 'https://www.botkelp.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"botkelp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.botkelp.com/mcp"
}
}

BotKelp components
Public source for the individual components BotKelp actually uses.
You can browse, copy, and reuse these files. That is the point of this repository.
What we are providing
Each folder under components/ is one component:
manifest.json— id, immutable semver,requires/provides,compatibilityranges, npm packages, and generator actionstemplates/— the files the generator applies (EJS templates; most are plain source with no templating)versions/<semver>/(optional) — additional immutable releases. The top-levelmanifest.jsonis always the latest. Older releases live underversions/so shipping 2.0.2 never overwrites 1.4.2.
compatibility is a hard registry rule, not something an agent should guess. Example:
"compatibility": { "nextjs": ">=16 <17", "react": ">=19 <20" }
BotKelp MCP looks up (component, version, stack) and:
- Exact version + compatible → returns that artifact
- Exact version + incompatible →
COMPONENT_VERSION_INCOMPATIBLEplus alternatives — no files - No version → auto-selects the best compatible release
allow_incompatible: true→ returns the pin with a warning; stillcompatible: false
The same list is in CATALOG.md and catalog.json.
This repository is the source of truth for BotKelp's component catalog. The MCP generator and website load these files (not a private copy). It is not a demo and not a cleaned-up excerpt.
What we are not providing
- Not a complete application. Cloning this repo will not give you a running site.
- Not assembled / generated project builds. Scaffolds built by the BotKelp MCP tool
purchase_scaffold(a full app with several components already wired together) are not published here. - Not the BotKelp service. The MCP server, billing, accounts, and generation engine live elsewhere and are not in this repository.
If you want a generated project, connect your agent to the BotKelp MCP server at https://www.botkelp.com/mcp (remote HTTP; there is no npm package or stdio server), call get_help and search_components to pick component ids, then call purchase_scaffold. Building uses account credits (sign in with MCP OAuth, or send a bk_live_ key from https://www.botkelp.com/dashboard as an Authorization: Bearer header; never as a tool argument), and you are only charged when the build passes. Setup for each client: https://www.botkelp.com/llms.txt
If you want to copy a navbar, a Supabase client, or Tailwind config, use this repo.
How to copy a component
- Open
components/<id>/. - Read
manifest.jsonfor npm packages and env vars. - Copy the files under
templates/into your app at thedestinationpaths listed in the manifest. - Install the listed
dependencies/devDependencies. - Respect the licences of any upstream library the component wraps (Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Supabase, and so on). Those remain their own.
nextjs-base is the base component the others sit on. It is still one component, not a product app we ship as a complete build.
Licence
BotKelp-authored files are under the BotKelp Limited Use Licence.
INTLEACHT RESEARCH LIMITED trading as BotKelp is named on every file. You may copy individual component source into your own projects. You may not present this catalog or the generator as your own product, and you may not strip operator attribution from files as published here.
Third-party projects named in a component keep their own licences. Copying a component does not re-licence Next.js, Tailwind, Prisma, or anything else.
Site
The registry on the BotKelp website shows the same components, with copyable file contents. repo: https://github.com/botkelp/components
