๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

Step 1: Configure Your MCP Client

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neurodev-mcp": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/neurodev-mcp/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "neurodev_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Replace /absolute/path/to/neurodev-mcp with your actual path

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "neurodev-mcp": {
    "command": "python",
    "args": ["-m", "neurodev_mcp.server"]
  }
}

Run the server directly:

# Using the module
python -m neurodev_mcp.server

# Or as a command (if installed)
neurodev-mcp

Step 2: Restart Your Client

Restart Claude Desktop or reload VSCode to load the server.

Step 3: Start Using! ๐ŸŽ‰

Try these commands with your AI assistant:

  • "Review this Python code for issues"

  • "Generate unit tests for this function"

  • "Run these tests with coverage"

  • "Format this code to PEP8 standards"


๐ŸŒ Transport Options

NeuroDev MCP supports multiple transport protocols for different use cases:

STDIO (Default) - Local CLI

Perfect for local development with MCP clients like Claude Desktop or Cline:

# Default STDIO transport
neurodev-mcp

# Or explicitly specify STDIO
neurodev-mcp --transport stdio

Configuration (Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neurodev-mcp": {
      "command": "neurodev-mcp",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

SSE (Server-Sent Events) - Web Integration

For web-based integrations and HTTP streaming:

# Run with SSE on default port (8000)
neurodev-mcp --transport sse

# Custom host and port
neurodev-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

Endpoints:

  • SSE Stream: http://localhost:8000/sse

  • Messages: http://localhost:8000/messages (POST)

Web Client Example:

const sse = new EventSource('http://localhost:8000/sse');

sse.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  console.log('Received:', data);
};

// Send message
fetch('http://localhost:8000/messages', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    method: 'tools/call',
    params: {
      name: 'code_review',
      arguments: { code: 'def test(): pass', analyzers: ['pylint'] }
    }
  })
});

You: "Generate tests for this function and run them"

def divide(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    if b == 0:
        raise ValueError("Cannot divide by zero")
    return a / b

AI: [Uses generate_tests tool]
    โ†’ Creates 5 test cases
    โ†’ Includes edge cases (zero, negative numbers)
    โ†’ Tests exception handling
    
    [Uses run_tests tool]
    โ†’ 5/5 tests passing โœ“
    โ†’ 100% code coverage
    โ†’ All edge cases handled

Example 3: Code Formatting

You: "Format this messy code"

def   calculate(  x,y,z  ):
        result=x+y+z
        if result>10:
                    return   True
        return False

AI: [Uses format_code tool]
    โ†’ Applies black formatting
    โ†’ Returns clean, PEP8-compliant code

def calculate(x, y, z):
    result = x + y + z
    if result > 10:
        return True
    return False

๐Ÿงช Development

Running Tests

# Run installation tests
python test_installation.py

# Run examples
python examples.py

# Run pytest (if you add tests)
pytest

Using as a Library

from neurodev_mcp import CodeAnalyzer, TestGenerator, TestExecutor
import asyncio

# Analyze code
code = "def hello(): print('world')"
result = asyncio.run(CodeAnalyzer.analyze_ast(code))

# Generate tests
tests = TestGenerator.generate_tests(code, "mymodule")

# Run tests
output = TestExecutor.run_tests(test_code, source_code)

โ“ Troubleshooting

  • โœ… Check that the path in config is absolute

  • โœ… Ensure the Python executable path is correct

  • โœ… Restart Claude Desktop or VSCode completely

  • โœ… Check server logs for errors

# Reinstall the package
pip install -e .

# Verify installation
python -c "from neurodev_mcp import CodeAnalyzer; print('โœ“ OK')"

# Run installation tests
python test_installation.py
  • โœ… Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed

  • โœ… Activate virtual environment: source .venv/bin/activate

  • โœ… Reinstall dependencies: pip install -e .

  • โœ… Run: python test_installation.py to diagnose

  • Some analyzers (pylint, mypy) can be slow on large files

  • Use specific analyzers: "analyzers": ["flake8", "ast"]

  • Increase timeout for large test suites

  • Consider caching results (future feature)
