      "command": "node",

You run an MCP server that exposes AI development tool intelligence so Claude and other assistants can answer natural-language questions about tool adoption, trends, and comparisons. This enables real-time insights without manual data wrangling, letting you ask questions like which AI coding tools are rising fastest or how two tools compare on downloads and community activity.

How to use

You connect an MCP client to the server and interact in natural language. The server provides focused tools you can invoke through conversations, such as comparing two tools, listing top-growing tools, retrieving historical growth, or filtering tools by criteria. Use it to get human-friendly summaries, growth indicators, and concrete metrics without leaving the chat.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js 18 or higher. A compatible MCP client such as Claude Desktop.

Step by step install and run flow:

Clone the project repository (replace with the actual path you use):

git clone https://github.com/grzetich/ai-developer-tools-mcp.git
cd ai-developer-tools-mcp

Configuration for Claude Desktop

Configure Claude Desktop to connect to the MCP server using the standard stdio transport. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-developer-tools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/ai-developer-tools-mcp/src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Start the server locally

Install dependencies and start the server in a local, stdio configuration. Use the commands below exactly as shown.

npm install

# Start the MCP server in stdio mode
npm start

# Optional: run tests to verify tools
npm test
