MCP Development Server
Overview
The MCP Development Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to manage software development projects by providing complete project context awareness and handling code execution within Docker environments.
To use the MCP Development Server, install it via pip or clone the repository, configure your Claude Desktop to recognize the server, and then run commands for project management.
- Complete project context management - Integration with Git for version control - Template-based project creation - Execution of build and test operations in Docker containers
- Managing project structures and file operations within a development team.
- Executing builds and tests to maintain project integrity.
- Utilizing Docker for isolated project environments and resource management.

"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dev-server-dillip285"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
