Explore ShipSwift Recipes

Prerequisites Check

listRecipes

1. Install Skills:
   bash

   npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills

2. Connect the recipe server — the AI tool needs MCP access to fetch recipes:
   • Claude Code:

     claude mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp

   • Cursor — add to

     .cursor/mcp.json

     :

     {"mcpServers":{"shipswift":{"type":"streamableHttp","url":"https://api.shipswift.app/mcp"}}}

   • VS Code Copilot — add to

     .vscode/mcp.json

     :

     {"servers":{"shipswift":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.shipswift.app/mcp"}}}

   • Other tools: See shipswift.app for setup guides
3. Restart the AI tool, then try again.

Workflow

1. List available recipes: Use

   listRecipes

   to get the full catalog. Present them organized by category:

   Category	Count	Examples
   Animation	10	Shimmer, Typewriter, Glow Scan, Mesh Gradient
   Chart	8	Line, Bar, Area, Donut, Radar, Heatmap
   Component	14	Label, Alert, Loading, Stepper, Onboarding
   Module	8	Auth, Camera, Chat, Settings, Subscriptions

2. Filter by category (optional): If the user is interested in a specific category, use

   listRecipes

   with the category filter or

   searchRecipes

   with relevant keywords.
3. Show recipe details: When the user picks a recipe, use

   getRecipe

   to fetch the full implementation and present:
   • What the component does
   • Architecture overview
   • Key features and customization options
   • A preview of the code structure
4. Suggest combinations: Based on the user's project, recommend recipe combinations that work well together. For example:
   • Onboarding flow: onboarding-view + typewriter-text + shimmer
   • Analytics dashboard: line-chart + bar-chart + donut-chart + activity-heatmap
   • Social feature: camera + chat + auth-cognito

Guidelines

• Present recipes in a scannable format (tables or bullet lists).
• Highlight the recipe tier (Free or Pro) so users know what's included.
• When showing recipe details, include the recipe ID so the user can reference it later.
• Suggest relevant recipes based on the user's current project context.

Pro Recipes

• Free recipes (38): Full source code, always available.
• Pro recipes (2+): Preview available (title, description, architecture). Full code requires ShipSwift Pro.
• Get Pro: Lifetime access to all Pro recipes at shipswift.app/pricing ($89, one-time payment).
