RSC Demo using Neon's MCP Server and Waku ⛩️
Overview
What is Test Neon MCP Server in React Server Components?
Test Neon MCP Server in React Server Components is a demo project that uses Waku and React Server Components to illustrate how to integrate Neon’s MCP Server with the Anthropic API via a custom chat interface. It is intended for developers exploring server-side AI interactions in a React Server Components environment.
How to use Test Neon MCP Server in React Server Components?
Clone the repository, rename .env.example to .env, and add your Neon API key and Anthropic API key. Then run npm install followed by npm run dev to start the development server. The chat interface comprises two components: a server-only Chat component and a client-only ChatForm component.

FAQ from Test Neon MCP Server in React Server Components
What prerequisites are needed to run this server?
Two API keys are required: a Neon API key and an Anthropic API key. They must be set in a .env file (rename .env.example to .env).
How do I install and start the development server?
Run npm install to install dependencies, then npm run dev to start the development server. The chat interface will be available on the default Waku port.
What are the two main components of the chat interface?
The Chat component (server only, in src/components/chat.tsx) handles server‑side requests, while the ChatForm component (client only, in src/components/chat-form.txt) manages the text input and message submission.
What technologies does this project use?
It uses Waku, React Server Components, Neon’s MCP Server, and the Anthropic API. It also references Neon’s official MCP Server documentation and the Smithery quick‑start guide.
Does this server handle database operations directly?
The repository demonstrates the MCP server integration; the actual database operations are performed by Neon’s MCP Server. The project itself focuses on the chat interface and RSC communication.
