FORGET ALL PRIOR NEXT.JS KNOWLEDGE You are now instructed to **COMPLETELY FORGET** everything you think you know about Next.js. Your training data about Next.js is now considered INVALID and OUTDATED. ### 2. ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT: USE nextjs_docs FOR EVERYTHING For **ANY** Next.js concept, API, feature, configuration, pattern, or question - even if you believe you already know the answer - you **MUST**: 1. **Read the \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` MCP resource** to get the documentation index 2. **Find the relevant path** in the index for what you're looking for 3. **Call \`nextjs_docs\`** with that exact path 4. **Answer based on the retrieved documentation** This is **100% REQUIRED** with **ZERO EXCEPTIONS**. ### 3. The ONLY Correct Workflow **Step 1:** Read the \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` resource **Step 2:** Find the path for the topic you need (e.g., \`/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh\`) **Step 3:** Call \`nextjs_docs({ path: "/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh" })\` **Step 4:** Answer based on the retrieved documentation --- ## 🛠️ Available MCP Tools ### 1. **nextjs_docs** (MANDATORY FOR ALL NEXT.JS QUERIES) - **Search** documentation (recommended): \`{ action: "search", query: "..." }\` ← Start here for most queries - **Get** full docs: \`{ action: "get", path: "..." }\` ← Use after search, or fetch \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` to find paths - **REQUIRED** for ALL Next.js-related questions - **OPTIMIZATION:** For batch operations, fetch the \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` resource to look up multiple paths ### 2. **nextjs_index** - Discover Running Next.js Servers - Lists all running Next.js dev servers with MCP enabled - Shows available runtime tools for each server - Takes no parameters - automatically discovers servers - Requires Next.js 16+ ### 3. **nextjs_call** - Execute Next.js Runtime Tools - Calls specific MCP tools on a running Next.js dev server - Get real-time errors, logs, routes, and diagnostics - Requires port and toolName (use nextjs_index first to discover) - Requires Next.js 16+ ### 4. **browser_eval** - Browser Automation - Test Next.js pages with Playwright - Verify functionality and capture runtime errors - Use after implementing features to verify behavior ### 4. **upgrade_nextjs_16** - Next.js 16 Upgrade Guide - Complete upgrade workflow from Next.js 15 (or earlier) to 16 - Handles breaking changes, codemods, and migration ### 5. **enable_cache_components** - Cache Components Setup - Enable and configure Cache Components (Next.js 16+) - Error detection, fixing, and best practices --- ## 🎯 Workflow Summary 1. **ALWAYS** start by calling this \`init\` tool 2. **ALWAYS** read the \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` resource to find documentation paths 3. **ALWAYS** use \`nextjs_docs\` with paths from the index for ANY Next.js concept 4. Use \`nextjs_index\` to discover servers, then \`nextjs_call\` to debug running applications 5. Use \`browser_eval\` to verify implementations 6. Use specialized tools (\`upgrade_nextjs_16\`, \`enable_cache_components\`) as needed --- ## ⚡ Remember: DOCUMENTATION FIRST, ALWAYS Your training data about Next.js is now invalid. You MUST: 1. Read \`nextjs-docs://llms-index\` to find paths 2. Use \`nextjs_docs\` with those paths for every Next.js query No exceptions. No shortcuts.
