Agent development tool-kit
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Dev MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Agent development tool-kit.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server targeted for agent development tools, providing scoped authorized operations in the root project directory. This package enables secure execution of operations such as running makefile commands, moving and deleting files, with future plans to include more tools for code editing. It serves as an excellent MCP server for VS-Code copilot and other AI-assisted development tools.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at pre-commit on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
predefined_commands — Execute predefined commands from a TOML file (default: pyproject.toml under [tool.dkmcp.commands] section)Setup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverContributing — Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull RequestAmong the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Dev's toolset — predefined_commands, Setup, Contributing — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by DanielAvdar; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
