# MCP Dev-Tools Agent
A local AI agent system built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that gives any LLM real access to your filesystem, terminal, and codebase. Works as both a standalone terminal agent and a Continue.dev integration in VS Code.
## What It Does
- Connects any LLM (Claude, Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama) to your local machine via MCP
- Gives the AI real tools to read/write files, run commands, and search your codebase
- Works as a terminal agent (`bun dev`) or as a Continue.dev MCP server in VS Code
- Fully provider-agnostic — switch models by changing one `.env` variable

## Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/naushadraien/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server
bun install
```
## Environment Setup
Create a `.env` file in the project root:
```bash
# Choose your provider
PROVIDER=groq # groq | claude | openai | openrouter | ollama | gemini
# Add the API key for your chosen provider
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_key_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key_here
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_openrouter_key_here
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key_here
# Ollama needs no API key — runs locally
```
## Running the Agent
```bash
bun dev
```
This starts an interactive terminal agent. Type your message and the AI will use MCP tools to act on your local machine.
```
🚀 Starting MCP dev-tools agent...
✅ MCP server connected. Tools available:
• read_file
• write_file
• list_directory
• run_command
• search_in_files
• create_directory
• delete_file
You: read C:/Projects/myapp/package.json and tell me the dependencies
🔧 [1/5] Calling: read_file
...
```
## Switching Providers
Just change `PROVIDER` in your `.env`:
```bash
PROVIDER=groq # Groq Llama 3.3 — free 100k tokens/day
PROVIDER=claude # Anthropic Claude — best quality
PROVIDER=openai # OpenAI GPT-4o
PROVIDER=openrouter # OpenRouter — access to many models
PROVIDER=gemini # Google Gemini — free 1500 req/day
PROVIDER=ollama # Local Ollama — free, no limits
```
## Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `read_file` | Read the contents of any file from disk |
| `write_file` | Write or overwrite content to a file |
| `list_directory` | List files and folders (supports recursive) |
| `run_command` | Execute any shell/terminal command |
| `search_in_files` | Search text/regex across your codebase |
| `create_directory` | Create new directories (including nested) |
| `delete_file` | Delete a file from disk |
## Example Prompts
```
# Read a file
read C:/Projects/myapp/package.json and show me all dependencies
# List project structure
list all files in C:/Projects/myapp/src recursively
# Search codebase
search for "TODO" in C:/Projects/myapp/src with extension .ts
# Run a command
run "npm run build" in C:/Projects/myapp
# Chain multiple tools
list all files in src, read index.ts and write a summary to SUMMARY.md
# Generate documentation
read all files in src and write a complete README.md
```
## Use with Continue.dev in VS Code
Add this to `~/.continue/config.yaml`:
```yaml
mcpServers:
- name: dev-tools
command: bun
args:
- run
- C:/<your-path>/mcp-server/src/mcp-server/index.ts
```
Continue will automatically start the MCP server when VS Code opens. Use **Agent mode** in Continue chat to trigger tool calls.
## Adding New Tools
Open `src/mcp-server/index.ts` and add a new `server.registerTool()` block:
```typescript
server.registerTool(
"my_tool", // tool name
{
title: "My Tool", // human-readable title
description: "What this tool does", // what the AI sees
inputSchema: {
param1: z.string().describe("Description of param1"),
param2: z.number().optional().describe("Optional param"),
},
},
async ({ param1, param2 }) => {
// your code here — call APIs, query DB, anything
const result = await doSomething(param1);
return {
content: [{ type: "text", text: result }],
};
}
);
```
Reload VS Code or restart `bun dev` and the new tool is immediately available.
