Centralized development tools for Cline
## Dev Tools MCP Server: Comprehensive Development Utilities Suite The **Dev Tools MCP Server** provides a comprehensive collection of essential development utilities within Google Antigravity, streamlining common tasks like encoding, hashing, formatting, and data transformation through AI-powered assistance. ### Why Dev Tools MCP? - **All-in-One Toolkit**: Access dozens of common development utilities without switching between tools or websites - **Data Transformation**: Convert between JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, and other formats with intelligent structure preservation - **Encoding/Decoding**: Handle Base64, URL encoding, HTML entities, and various character encodings effortlessly - **Hash Generation**: Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and other cryptographic hashes for verification and security - **Code Formatting**: Format and beautify JSON, XML, SQL, and other structured data with customizable options ### Key Features #### 1. Data Conversion ```python from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic() response = client.messages.create( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{ "role": "user", "content": "Convert this JSON configuration to YAML format while preserving comments as annotations" }] ) ``` #### 2. Encoding Operations ```python # Handle encoding tasks response = client.messages.create( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{ "role": "user", "content": "Base64 encode this image file and decode this JWT token to see its payload" }] ) ``` #### 3. Hash Generation ```python # Generate hashes response = client.messages.create( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{ "role": "user", "content": "Generate SHA-256 hash of this file and verify it matches the expected checksum" }] ) ``` #### 4. String Manipulation ```python # Transform strings response = client.messages.create( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{ "role": "user", "content": "Convert these variable names from camelCase to snake_case and generate UUID for new records" }] ) ``` ### Configuration ```json { "mcpServers": { "dev-tools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-dev-tools"], "env": { "DEV_TOOLS_DEFAULT_ENCODING": "utf-8", "DEV_TOOLS_HASH_ALGORITHM": "sha256" } } } } ``` ### Use Cases **API Development**: Quickly encode parameters, decode responses, and format JSON payloads during API development. **Security Testing**: Generate test hashes, encode payloads, and verify checksums for security testing workflows. **Data Migration**: Transform data between formats when migrating between systems or updating schemas. **Debugging**: Decode encoded strings, parse tokens, and format minified data for debugging purposes. The Dev Tools MCP Server eliminates context switching by bringing essential development utilities directly into your AI-assisted workflow, boosting productivity and reducing friction.
