MCP Developer Server (MCPDS)

** THIS IS A VERY BIG WORK IN PROGRESS. **

A powerful development tool that combines comprehensive documentation access with containerized code testing

MCP Developer Server is a Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to supercharge your development workflow. It provides instant access to 700+ documentation sources and creates isolated Docker containers for safe code testing and experimentation.

Note: It is recommended to not host a public instance as there is no authentication system yet. It is recommended to use a MCP server that reduces the amount of tokens used, as this uses a lot of tokens.

🚀 What Can It Do?

Documentation at Your Fingertips

• Access over 700 programming language and framework docs instantly
• Get summaries, examples, and detailed explanations
• Search across multiple documentation sources simultaneously

Containerized Development Environment

• Spin up isolated Docker containers for testing code
• Run experiments without affecting your main system
• Support for multiple programming languages and frameworks
• Optional NVIDIA GPU acceleration for AI/ML workloads

🔧 Installation

ONLY OPTION: Docker Installation (Recommended)

Prerequisites:

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
• Node JS and npx installed ** Install This creates three services:
• devdocs - Documentation server
• devdocs-sync - Documentation synchronization
• mcpdocker - Main MCP server with Docker integration

Installation

To install this server, please edit the compose.yml to your ideal system. It contains a bunch of commented out services or features and more. Then, install the docker compose server using one command:

docker compose up -d --build

⚙️ Configuration

For Remote/Server Deployments

If running on a server or using Cloudflare Tunnel, update the IP addresses in configuration.json to match your setup location.
