That’s why I built FastApps, an open-source framework that lets you build ChatGPT apps with only two files: a Python backend and a React frontend.
It removes all the glue code and focuses on developer experience:
- Auto-discovers and registers MCP widgets automatically
- Builds and bundles React UIs with zero config
- Manages CSP, metadata, and resource serving out of the box
- Type-safe data flow with Pydantic and React hooks
- Runs as an MCP server, fully compatible with ChatGPT and other MCP clients
If you’ve been experimenting with MCP or building ChatGPT tools, I’d love your feedback. It’s fully open source — and I’m looking for contributors who want to help shape this ecosystem together.

When you run fastapps create, you get a running service that ChatGPT talks to over MCP, not just a code template. You can extend or deploy it like any other web app.

Any scope for backend-only part? Also, couldn't find examples for nodejs.. is it supported?
Thanks..

Could you share a bit more on what you mean by “backend-only"? Are you thinking of running logic without any UI part?
Node.js isn’t supported yet, but I’d love to hear your use case!

Nodejs use-case: I'm just more comfortable in it. Nothing else :)
