An MCP server that gives your AI assistant full awareness of your local dev environment — running processes, Docker containers, git state, open ports, log files, and more.
Stop copy-pasting context. Let the AI ask for what it needs.

Tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
get_running_processes |
What Node/Python/Go processes are running? What's on port 3000? |
get_docker_state |
Which containers are up? Are they healthy? What are their ports? |
get_git_status |
What branch am I on? What's dirty? Am I ahead/behind? |
get_env_summary |
What keys does my .env have? (Values masked by default) |
get_config_summary |
What's in my application.yml? (.yml, .properties, .env) |
get_dependencies |
What libraries am I using? (pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, package.json) |
get_open_ports |
What's listening on this machine right now? |
get_recent_logs |
What did my API service log in the last 50 lines? |
get_project_structure |
What does this codebase look like? (gitignore-aware) |
check_service_health |
Is http://localhost:3000/health responding? How fast? |
Language support
Most tools operate at the OS or network level and work regardless of stack. The table below calls out the gaps.

What still needs copy-paste
Some things Claude can't read yet — paste these into chat when needed:
- Python deps:
requirements.txt,pyproject.toml,setup.py - Rust deps:
Cargo.toml - Ruby deps:
Gemfile - .NET deps:
*.csproj - Python/Rust config:
config.toml,settings.pyand similar formats - Java stack traces in logs:
get_recent_logsreturns raw lines — a trace split across the tail boundary may arrive incomplete - Spring OAuth2 properties: keys containing
auth(e.g.authorization-grant-type) are masked by the secret-detection heuristic; paste the value if needed
Installation
Via npm (recommended)
npm install -g iwomm-mcp
Or use it without installing — npx will fetch and run it on demand (see Claude config below).
From source
git clone https://github.com/dicoy/iwomm-mcp.git
cd iwomm-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add devenv -- npx -y iwomm-mcp
Add to Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS:
{
"mcpServers": {
"devenv": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "iwomm-mcp"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude. You should see devenv in /mcp.
Optional: .mcp-context.yml
Drop this file at the root of any project to tell iwomm-mcp about your services:
# .mcp-context.yml
services:
api:
port: 3000
logs: ./logs/api.log
health_endpoint: /health
worker:
logs: ./logs/worker.log
postgres:
port: 5432
env_files:
- .env
- .env.local
# Keys matching these patterns will have their values revealed
# (even if they look like secrets). Supports exact match and * prefix glob.
reveal_env_patterns:
- NODE_ENV
- APP_*
- FEATURE_*
Without this file, get_recent_logs works only with explicit file paths. All other tools work without any config.

Design principles:
- Provider pattern — every tool depends on an interface, not a concrete implementation. Tests mock the interface; the OS is never touched in tests.
- One Zod schema per tool — the same schema drives both MCP input validation and TypeScript types. No duplication.
- Typed error hierarchy —
DockerNotAvailableError,GitNotARepositoryError, etc. Callers can catch exactly what they expect. - Composition root —
createServer()inserver.tsis the only place that wires interfaces to implementations. Everything else is pure.
Development
npm run dev # build in watch mode
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
npm run lint # biome check
npm run lint:fix # biome check --write
npm run test # vitest run
npm run test:watch # vitest (interactive)
npm run ci # typecheck + lint + test + build
Adding a new tool
- Create
src/tools/your-tool-name/schema.ts— Zod input schema - Create
src/tools/your-tool-name/handler.ts— pure function, injected providers - Create
src/tools/your-tool-name/handler.test.ts— mock the providers, not the OS - Register in
src/registry/tool-registry.ts— oneserver.tool(...)call
If the tool needs a new system capability, add an interface to src/providers/ with a corresponding implementation. The handler never imports a concrete provider class.
