Usage
Zero project modification (recommended)
Run as an ephemeral tool — no changes to INSTALLED_APPS or requirements:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings uv run --with django-mcp-inspector django-mcp-inspector
Pass --settings instead of the environment variable if you prefer:
uv run --with django-mcp-inspector django-mcp-inspector --settings myproject.settings
Exclude third-party app noise:
uv run --with django-mcp-inspector django-mcp-inspector --settings myproject.settings --exclude-site-packages
As an installed app
Add mcp_inspector to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'mcp_inspector',
]
Then run the management command:
python manage.py mcpserver
python manage.py mcpserver --exclude-site-packages
Connecting an MCP client
The server communicates over stdio. Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, custom agent, etc.) at the process.
Example Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"django": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run", "--with", "django-mcp-inspector",
"django-mcp-inspector", "--settings", "myproject.settings"
],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/your/project"
}
}
}
}
Requirements
- Python 3.12+
