RollDev MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for RollDev + Magento 2 development environments. This server enables Claude and other LLMs to interact with RollDev projects, manage environments, execute commands, and initialize new Magento 2 projects seamlessly.
Features
Environment Management
Environment Control: List, start, and stop RollDev project environments
Service Management: Control RollDev system services (database, Redis, OpenSearch, etc.)
Project Initialization: Create new Magento 2 projects with automatic configuration
Development Tools
Database Operations: Execute SQL queries directly in project databases
PHP Script Execution: Run PHP scripts within project containers
Magento CLI Access: Execute Magento commands through
roll magentoComposer Integration: Run Composer commands in project environments
Reliability Features
Command Timeouts: All commands have appropriate timeouts to prevent hanging (5-15 min depending on operation)
Output File Redirection: Option to save command output to log files for later investigation
Prerequisites
RollDev installed and configured
Node.js 18+
Active RollDev project environments (for some operations)

Examples
Here are some example interactions you can try with Claude after setting up the RollDev MCP server:
Basic Environment Management
"Can you list all my RollDev environments?"
"Start the project at /path/to/my-magento-project"
"Stop the services for my current project"
Database Operations
"Run the query 'SELECT * FROM admin_user LIMIT 5' in my project"
"Show me all enabled modules in the database"
"Check the current configuration values for my store"
Magento Development
"Execute 'cache:flush' Magento command in my project"
"Run 'setup:upgrade' on my Magento installation"
"List all available Magento CLI commands"
Project Initialization
"Initialize a new Magento 2.4.7 project called 'my-store'"
"Create a Magento project with the latest version in /Users/dev/projects"
Composer Operations
"Install dependencies with Composer in my project"
"Require the symfony/console package in my project"
Output File Redirection
"Run setup:upgrade and save the output to a file for investigation"
"Execute composer install with output saved to a log file"
Development
