## What it is
Skybridge is a full-stack TypeScript framework for building MCP Apps and ChatGPT Apps with type-safe tool definitions and React views rendered inside AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, and VSCode. It includes a CLI, local dev emulator with preview mode, and end-to-end type inference from MCP server tools to React components.

## Use cases
- build interactive apps that run inside ChatGPT or Claude conversations
- create MCP servers with rich React UI views
- develop ChatGPT apps with type-safe tool-to-component wiring
- preview MCP widgets in a mock ChatGPT or Claude conversation locally
- scaffold an e-commerce or travel app for AI chat hosts
- build MCP apps with coding agents using skills and CLI tooling

## When to choose
- you want to build interactive UI apps for MCP clients like Claude, ChatGPT, or VSCode
- you prefer React and end-to-end TypeScript type safety from server tools to views
- you need local dev tooling, hot reload, and client preview emulation
- you want one codebase that runs across multiple MCP-compatible hosts

## When to avoid
- you need a plain MCP server without UI views
- your app targets clients that don't support MCP Apps or ChatGPT Apps SDK
- you're not using TypeScript or React
- you need a framework with long-term production track record
