One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Next.js development tooling via MCP. Inspect routes, components, build info, and debug Next.js apps. Use when working on Next.js applications, debugging routing, or inspecting app structure. NOT for general React or non-Next.js projects.

Next.js DevTools

Inspect and debug Next.js applications via MCP server.

Quick Start

# Start server (spawns on-demand)
bash scripts/start-server.sh

# Or use directly via mcp-client
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t list-routes

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`list-routes`	Get all app routes
`get-route-info`	Details for specific route
`list-components`	React components in app
`get-build-info`	Build configuration
`get-config`	next.config.js settings

Workflow Patterns

Pattern 1: Route Inspection

# List all routes
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t list-routes

# Get specific route details
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t get-route-info \
  -p '{"route": "/api/auth"}'

Pattern 2: Debug Build Issues

# Check build config
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t get-build-info

# Check next.config.js
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t get-config

Pattern 3: Component Discovery

python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t list-components

Scripts

start-server.sh

For persistent server (multiple calls):

bash scripts/start-server.sh
# Server runs on default port
# Use mcp-client.py with -u flag instead of -s

On-Demand (Recommended)

For single calls, use -s flag which spawns server per-call:

python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call \
  -s "npx next-devtools-mcp@latest" \
  -t <tool-name>

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Server not starting	Check `npx next-devtools-mcp@latest` works manually
No routes found	Ensure running from Next.js project root
Build info empty	Run `next build` first
