Next Devtools Mcp
The Next Devtools MCP server provides Next.js development tools and utilities that integrate with coding agents like Claude and Cursor through the Model Context Protocol. It enables developers to access Next.js-specific capabilities and debugging tools directly within their AI-assisted coding environment. The server simplifies installation across multiple MCP clients through the add-mcp command and supports manual configuration for various coding agents including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Amp, and Gemini.

Readme
Next.js DevTools MCP
next-devtools-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects coding agents like Claude and Cursor to your running Next.js dev server.
It is a thin connector. It discovers running Next.js 16+ dev servers and proxies their built-in MCP endpoint (/_next/mcp) so agents get live runtime errors, routes, and logs. It also ships two gateways that point agents at tools they run directly: version-accurate docs and the agent-browser CLI.
[!NOTE] Docs and migration workflows no longer live in this server. Next.js bundles its own docs at
node_modules/next/dist/docs/, and upgrade / Cache Components workflows are distributed as agent skills. See Migrating from 0.3.x.
Requirements
- Node.js v20.19 or a newer LTS version
- npm or pnpm
- Next.js 16+ with a running dev server (for
nextjs_index/nextjs_call)
