Development
Getting Started
This repository uses pnpm workspaces for package management. To get started:
1. Install pnpm if you don't have it:
npm install -g pnpm
2. Install dependencies:
pnpm install
3. Build all packages:
pnpm build
Development Workflow
For development with auto-rebuild:
pnpm dev
Publishing to NPM
This repository is set up with automated release management using release-please and GitHub Actions for publishing packages to npmjs.org.
Beta Status
All published packages are currently in beta status (0.x.x versions) and use the beta npm tag. During this phase:
- Breaking changes may occur in minor version updates
- Install the packages using: npm install @mcp-devtools/package-name@beta
- When the project reaches stability, we will release version 1.0.0
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a workspace script:
pnpm inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
