Connecting to an MCP client

Add the following to your MCP client configuration (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "react-ts-dev-tools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-dev-tools/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Or, if installed globally via npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "react-ts-dev-tools": {
      "command": "mcp-dev-tools"
    }
  }
}

    TDQS

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct task: getting shadcn install commands, generating React forms, and explaining TypeScript errors. No overlap in functionality, making selection unambiguous.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All three tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_, generate_, explain_), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

    Tool Count4/5

    Three tools is a reasonable count for a focused set of React+TS utilities, though it leans toward the lower end. Each tool serves a clear purpose within the domain.

    Completeness3/5

    The tools cover installation, form generation, and error explanation, but miss common development needs like component scaffolding, state management, or testing utilities, leaving notable gaps.
