# devpulse
An MCP server that lets your AI coding assistant see what's actually happening in your dev environment.
When you're debugging with Claude Code or Cursor, the AI has no idea if your dev server is running, what errors just appeared in the logs, or what branch you're on. You end up copy-pasting the same context every session. devpulse fixes that with one tool call.
## What your AI sees
```json
{
"diagnosis": {
"health": "broken",
"primary_issue": "Port conflict — dev server cannot start",
"suggested_action": "Kill the process using that port or change your dev server port",
"confidence": "high"
},
"session": {
"project": "my-app",
"framework": "nextjs",
"branch": "feat/auth",
"uncommitted_files": 3
},
"services": {
"running": [],
"expected_but_missing": [3000]
},
"recent_errors": [
{ "time": "2m ago", "level": "ERROR", "message": "EADDRINUSE :::3000" }
],
"env": {
"node": "20.11.0",
"package_manager": "pnpm"
}
}
```
Instead of asking you what's wrong, the AI already knows.
## Setup
**Claude Code**
```bash
claude mcp add devpulse -- npx -y devpulse-mcp
```
**Cursor / Claude Desktop / Windsurf**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devpulse": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "devpulse-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
No API key. No account. No config file.
## Tools
- `get_session_snapshot` — full diagnostic snapshot, call this first
- `get_recent_errors` — recent errors from your log files, secrets redacted
- `get_running_services` — what's on your dev ports and what's missing
## Supported frameworks
Detected automatically from your `package.json` — Next.js, Vite, Express, FastAPI. More coming.
## Privacy
Runs entirely on your machine. No data leaves your computer. API keys and secrets are automatically stripped from log output.

A3.7/5.0
Scored across 3 tools
Disambiguation3/5
The tools have overlapping information: get_session_snapshot includes recent errors and running services, making it redundant with the other two. Descriptions help clarify usage order, but ambiguity remains.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow a consistent 'get_' prefix with clear noun phrases, forming a predictable and readable pattern.
Tool Count4/5
Three tools is on the low side for a dev diagnostic server, but the snapshot tool consolidates key info, making the count reasonable for basic orientation.
Completeness4/5
The set covers errors, services, and a broad snapshot (git, env, health). Minor gaps like detailed log history or dependency checks exist, but core diagnostics are present.
