Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server m-dev-tools for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check uv with uv --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "m-dev-tools": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "m-dev-tools-mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the m-dev-tools tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is m-dev-tools safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.2.4) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

m-dev-tools-mcp

MCP server for the m-dev-tools org catalog. Exposes three first-class agent tools:

`route_intent(query)` — plain-English intent → typed IDs (e.g. "parse JSON in M" → module:m-stdlib#STDJSON)
`describe(typed_id)` — typed ID → pointer-blob (manifest URL, AGENTS.md URL, verification commands, …)
`verify(repo)` — list a repo's declared verification commands (does not execute them)

The server reads the catalog at https://github.com/m-dev-tools/.github over the network at call time; it is a thin wrapper, not a cache. See AGENTS.md for the contract and the AI users guide for the full walk-through.

mcp-name: io.github.m-dev-tools/m-dev-tools-mcp

Install

pip install m-dev-tools-mcp

or:

uvx m-dev-tools-mcp

pip install https://github.com/m-dev-tools/m-dev-tools-mcp/releases/download/v0.2.4/m_dev_tools_mcp-0.2.4-py3-none-any.whl

Point any MCP client at the m-dev-tools-mcp binary the install provides:

"mcpServers": { "m-dev-tools": { "command": "m-dev-tools-mcp" } } }

Or for clients that consult the public MCP registry:
