DevUtils MCP Server provides essential tools for managing workspaces, performing file operations, and analyzing project structures. It exposes a set of utilities you can access through an MCP client to streamline common development tasks without leaving your workspace.

How to use

You can use this MCP server by connecting with an MCP client. It exposes practical actions like searching for files, inspecting project structure, listing directories in a tree format, batch editing, and gathering code statistics. Use the client to run these tools against your workspace and receive structured results that you can integrate into your workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need a working Node.js environment and npm installed on your machine.

cd /root/.openclaw/workspace/devutils-mcp-server
npm install

Additional notes on running the server

You have two common ways to run the server locally. You can run it directly with npm or configure an MCP client to launch it as a local MCP service.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devutils": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["src/server.js"],
      "cwd": "/root/.openclaw/workspace/devutils-mcp-server",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Direct start

If you prefer to start the server directly without an MCP client, run this command from the repository directory.

npm start

Examples

Find all JavaScript files in the workspace.

{
  "pattern": "**/*.js"
}

Search for a specific pattern across files, with context and case-insensitive matching.

{
  "pattern": "TODO",
  "options": {
    "context": 3,
    "caseInsensitive": true
  }
}

Get a quick overview of your project structure within a certain depth.

{
  "path": ".",
  "maxDepth": 2
}
