out of the box I see some compilation errors:

/Users/robwormald/Dev/angular2/answers-app/node_modules/angular2-universal-preview/dist/server/server.d.ts(12,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module './src/render'.
/Users/robwormald/Dev/angular2/answers-app/node_modules/angular2-universal-preview/dist/server/src/http/server_http.d.ts(4,33): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'xhr2'.
/Users/robwormald/Dev/angular2/answers-app/node_modules/angular2-universal-preview/dist/server/src/platform/dom/server_dom_renderer.d.ts(6,22): error TS2415: Class 'ServerDomRootRenderer_' incorrectly extends base class 'DomRootRenderer'.
  Types have separate declarations of a private property '_registeredComponents'.
src/components/toast.ts(12,8): error TS2339: Property 'message' does not exist on type 'Toast'.
src/main-server.ts(2,26): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'express'.
src/services/Backend.ts(1,22): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'firebase'.

expected, or missing TSD stuff?

(all works fine, but i'll probably fail on CI unless we explicitly ignore those errors or handle them properly)

The universal errors should be fixed upstream. The errors about not finding express or firebase modules could be fixed by TSD. I will add a commit with TSD.

but i'll probably fail on CI

I just checked, and the gulp task still exits with 0 even with errors. Running tscdirectly would cause CI to fail.

I have typescript error fixes for
private property '_registeredComponents'. angular/angular#6584
Cannot find module './src/render'. angular/universal@f889e0f...master
Cannot find module 'xhr2'. pwnall/node-xhr2#20

@gdi2290 awesome! I was just looking at the universal repo and saw a lot of activity around TS issues, so I figured it was probably already fixed upstream.

@robwormald I added a PR with typings included, as well as some local fixes to make TS happy.

[PatrickJS]

for the Cannot find module './src/render'. issue you need to do another npm install since I published it as a patch

[robwormald]

LGTM

[PatrickJS]

the repo should use typings. tsd will be deprecated soon. (you also want to .gitignore typings/ folder. see upgrade commit angular/universal-starter@cfb7b52)

[robwormald]

merging this, lets deal with typings as a separate PR
