MCP Dev Server UI is a development server interface designed for running and managing Python applications.
To use MCP Dev Server UI, run the command mcp dev main.py to start the server, and access it via your web browser at http://localhost:5173.
Use these steps to connect MCP Dev Server UI in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ianrichard": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ianrichard"
]
}
}
}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)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ianrichard": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ianrichard"
]
}
}
}Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-ianrichard": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-ianrichard"
]
}
}
}Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",

}
}
}Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

]
}
}
}Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
