devbrain 1.0.8

A FastMCP server for DevBrain stdio communication.

DevBrain MCP Server

This devbrain MCP server retrieves tech-related information, such as code snippets and links to developer blogs, based on developer questions. It is like a web-search but tailors only curated knowledge from dev blogs and posts by software developers.

Claude app	Goose app

DevBrain returns articles as short description + URL, you can then:

• instruct LLM agent like Claude or Goose to fetch full contents of the articles using provided URLs
• instruct LLM to implement a feature based on all or selected articles

Installation and Usage

Via uv or uvx. Install uv and uvx (if not installed):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Example command to run MCP server in stdio mode:

uvx --from devbrain devbrain-stdio-server

Claude

To add devbrain to Claude's config, edit the file: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and insert devbrain to existing mcpServers block like so:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devbrain": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "devbrain",
        "devbrain-stdio-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude is known to fail when working with uv and uvx binaries. See related: https://gist.github.com/gregelin/b90edaef851f86252c88ecc066c93719. If you encounter this error then run these commands in a Terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/uvx /usr/local/bin/uvx

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/uv /usr/local/bin/uv

and restart Claude.

Docker

To run via Docker first build an image with build.sh then add a config to Claude like so:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devbrain": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "mcp-devbrain-stdio:my"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Test command:

docker run -i --rm mcp-devbrain-stdio:my
