+# ChatGPT Apps SDK Alpic Starter
+
+This repository is a minimal Typescript application demonstrating how to build an OpenAI Apps SDK compatible MCP server with widget rendering in ChatGPT.
+
+![Demo](docs/demo.gif)
+
+## Overview
+
+This project shows how to integrate a Typescript express application with the ChatGPT Apps SDK using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes a working MCP server that exposes tools and resources that can be called from ChatGPT, with responses rendered natively in ChatGPT. It also includes MCP tools without UI widgets.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 22+ (see `.nvmrc` for exact version)
+- pnpm (install with `npm install -g pnpm`)
+- Ngrok
+
+### Local Development with Hot Module Replacement (HMR)
+
+This project uses Vite for React widget development with full HMR support, allowing you to see changes in real-time, directly within ChatGPT conversation, without restarting the server.
+
+#### 1. Install
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+#### 2. Start the Development Server
+
+Run the development server from the root directory:
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+This command starts an Express server on port 3000. This server packages:
+
+- an MCP endpoint on `/mcp` - aka the ChatGPT App Backend
+- a React application on Vite HMR dev server - aka the ChatGPT App Frontend
+
+#### 3. Expose Your Local Server
+
+In a separate terminal, expose your local server using ngrok:
+
+```bash
+ngrok http 3000
+```
+
+Copy the forwarding URL from ngrok output:
+
+```bash
+Forwarding     https://3785c5ddc4b6.ngrok-free.app -> http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+#### 4. Connect to ChatGPT
+
+- Enable **Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode** in the ChatGPT client
+- Navigate to **Settings → Connectors → Create**
+- Enter your ngrok URL with the `/mcp` path (e.g., `https://3785c5ddc4b6.ngrok-free.app/mcp`)
+- Click **Create**
+
+#### 5. Test Your Integration
+
+- Start a new conversation in ChatGPT
+- Select your newly created connector using **the + button → Your connector**
+- Try prompting the model (e.g., "Show me pikachu details")
+
+#### 6. Develop with HMR
+
+Now you can edit React components in `web` and see changes instantly:
+
+- Make changes to any component
+- Save the file
+- The widget will automatically update in ChatGPT without refreshing or reconnecting
+- The Express server and MCP server continue running without interruption
+
+**Note:** When you modify widget components, changes will be reflected immediately. If you modify MCP server code (in `src/`), you may need to reload your connector in **Settings → Connectors → [Your connector] → Reload**.
+
+## Widget Naming Convention
+
+**Important:** For a widget to work properly, the name of the endpoint in your MCP server must match the file name of the corresponding React component in `web/src/widgets/`.
+
+For example:
+
+- If you create a widget endpoint named `pokemon-card`, you must create a corresponding React component file at `web/src/widgets/pokemon-card.tsx`
+- The endpoint name and the widget file name (without the `.tsx` extension) must be identical
+
+This naming convention allows the system to automatically map widget requests to their corresponding React components.
+
+## Deploy to Production
+
+Use Alpic to deploy your OpenAI App to production.
+
+[![Deploy on Alpic](https://assets.alpic.ai/button.svg)](https://app.alpic.ai/new/clone?repositoryUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falpic-ai%2Fapps-sdk-template)
+
+- In ChatGPT, navigate to **Settings → Connectors → Create** and add your MCP server URL (e.g., `https://your-app-name.alpic.live`)
+
