Dev-Kit MCP Server

Last Commit

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.

Features

🔒 Secure Operations: Execute operations within a scoped, authorized root directory
🛠️ Makefile Command Execution: Run makefile commands securely within the project
📁 File Operations: Move, Create, Rename and Delete files within the authorized directory
🔄 Git Operations: Perform Git operations like status, add, commit, push, pull, and checkout
🔌 MCP Integration: Turn any codebase into an MCP-compliant system
🤖 AI-Assisted Development: Excellent integration with VS-Code copilot and other AI tools
🔄 Extensible Framework: Easily add new tools for code editing and other operations
🚀 Fast Performance: Built with FastMCP for high performance

Installation

pip install dev-kit-mcp-server

Usage

Running the Server

# Recommended method (with root directory specified)
dev-kit-mcp-server --root-dir=workdir

# Alternative methods
uv run python -m dev_kit_mcp_server.mcp_server --root-dir=workdir
python -m dev_kit_mcp_server.mcp_server --root-dir=workdir

The --root-dir parameter specifies the directory where file operations will be performed. This is important for security reasons, as it restricts file operations to this directory only.

Available Tools

The server provides the following tools:

File Operations

create_dir: Create directories within the authorized root directory
edit_file: Edit files by replacing lines between specified start and end lines with new text
move_dir: Move files and directories within the authorized root directory
remove_file: Delete files within the authorized root directory
rename_file: Rename files and directories within the authorized root directory

Git Operations

git_status: Get the status of the Git repository (changed files, untracked files, etc.)
git_add: Add files to the Git index (staging area)
git_commit: Commit changes to the Git repository
git_push: Push changes to a remote Git repository
git_pull: Pull changes from a remote Git repository
git_checkout: Checkout or create a branch in the Git repository
git_diff: Show diffs between commits, commit and working tree, etc.

Makefile Operations

exec_make_target: Run makefile commands securely within the project

Example Usage with MCP Client

from fastmcp import Client
async def example():
    async with Client() as client:
        # List available tools
        tools = await client.list_tools()

        # File Operations
        # Create a directory
        result = await client.call_tool("create_dir", {"path": "new_directory"})

        # Move a file
        result = await client.call_tool("move_dir", {"path1": "source.txt", "path2": "destination.txt"})

        # Remove a file
        result = await client.call_tool("remove_file", {"path": "file_to_remove.txt"})

        # Rename a file
        result = await client.call_tool("rename_file", {"path": "old_name.txt", "new_name": "new_name.txt"})

        # Edit a file
        result = await client.call_tool("edit_file", {
            "path": "file_to_edit.txt",
            "start_line": 2,
            "end_line": 4,
            "text": "This text will replace lines 2-4"
        })

        # Git Operations
        # Get repository status
        result = await client.call_tool("git_status")

        # Add files to the index
        result = await client.call_tool("git_add", {"paths": ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"]})

        # Commit changes
        result = await client.call_tool("git_commit", {"message": "Add new files"})

        # Pull changes from remote
        result = await client.call_tool("git_pull", {"remote": "origin", "branch": "main"})

        # Push changes to remote
        result = await client.call_tool("git_push")

        # Checkout a branch
        result = await client.call_tool("git_checkout", {"branch": "feature-branch", "create": True})

        # Makefile Operations
        # Run a makefile command
        result = await client.call_tool("exec_make_target", {"commands": ["test"]})
