Overview

What is AI Dev Toolkit?

AI Dev Toolkit is an MCP server that enhances Claude Desktop with persistent code context, filesystem access, development tools, and AI-powered task management. It bridges projects and Claude, enabling codebase understanding, development assistance, and context retention across conversations.

How to use AI Dev Toolkit?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then run python install_unified.py to register the server with Claude Desktop. Use commands like initialize_librarian, find_implementation, add_todo, and think to interact with its tools.

Frequently asked questions

What does the AI Librarian do?

It maintains a comprehensive index of your codebase, remembers code structure across conversations, tracks components like functions and classes, and provides smart search for implementations and references.

What are the prerequisites for installation?

Python 3.8 or higher and the latest version of Claude Desktop are required.

How do I configure the server?

The installation script automatically edits the Claude Desktop configuration file. Its location varies: `%APPDATA%\Claude Desktop\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows, `~/Library/Application Support/Claude Desktop/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS.

What should I do if the toolkit doesn't appear in Claude?

Ensure the configuration was saved correctly and restart Claude Desktop. For permission errors, check the allowed directories in the configuration. For connection issues, verify the configuration and restart the server.

What transports and authentication does the server use?

The README mentions "MCP Protocol support" and "Full compliance with Model Context Protocol standards", but does not specify transport details or authentication methods.
