About Developer Tools MCP servers
Developer Tools is the largest category on mcp.site, covering servers that connect AI agents to the software development lifecycle. Typical capabilities include running shell commands in sandboxed terminals, fetching version-specific library documentation, exposing local dev servers, inspecting logs, and driving debuggers.
Most servers in this category run locally over stdio, since they need access to your machine. When evaluating one, check its permission model — good servers scope file and network access explicitly — and prefer listings marked Official or actively maintained. If you build developer tooling, you can submit your server or generate a hosted one with GetMCP.
