We have been building UI components since 2011 (jQWidgets, htmlelements.com). Every grid we shipped before this one was framework-agnostic with a thin adapter per framework. SvGrid is the opposite bet: written for Svelte 5 runes from the first line, with nothing to adapt. What that buys you concretely: the headless engine is ~2 KB gzipped and holds state in runes, so you compose it into your own markup and reactivity just works. Drop in instead and you get the rendered component at ~78 KB plus ~9 KB of CSS, SSR included (SvelteKit server-renders the header and a viewport window of rows). The part I most want feedback on is the MCP server. Point Claude, Cursor, or Zed at @svgrid/mcp and the model gets version-pinned prop, method, and event names plus the source of 373 live demos as grounding. Ask for "a grid grouped by region with a sparkline per row and a filter bar" and the code it writes runs, instead of inventing props that were never in the API. There is also an llms.txt and an Agent Skill if you would rather not run a server. On the open core, so nobody gets surprised after wiring it in: @svgrid/grid is MIT with no license key, no row cap, and no watermark. Row and column virtualization (there is a 1M-row demo), Excel-style filtering, 15 inline editor types, cell-range selection with copy/paste and a fill handle, row grouping with aggregation, tree data, master/detail, undo/redo, find-in-grid, the server-side row model, the AI helpers, and a Svelte 5 UI component suite are all in that free package. A commercial pack adds Excel/PDF export, import, print, pivot tables, and the Kanban and scheduler renderers, and that is what funds the work. OSS projects on an OSI-approved license get the pack free. Try it in one command: npm create @svgrid@latest Add MCP to Claude Code: claude mcp add svgrid -- npx -y @svgrid/mcp Demos: https://svgrid.com/demos If you build on SvelteKit, I would especially like to hear where the headless API feels awkward. That surface is still young and easier to change now than later.
