RollDev MCP Server to use in Ai agents
README
npm version License: MIT Node.js CI JavaScript RollDev Magento Docker MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for RollDev + Magento 2 development environments. This server enables Claude and other LLMs to interact with RollDev projects, manage environments, execute commands, and initialize new Magento 2 projects seamlessly.
Features
Environment Management
- Environment Control: List, start, and stop RollDev project environments
- Service Management: Control RollDev system services (database, Redis, OpenSearch, etc.)
- Project Initialization: Create new Magento 2 projects with automatic configuration
Development Tools
- Database Operations: Execute SQL queries directly in project databases
- PHP Script Execution: Run PHP scripts within project containers
- Magento CLI Access: Execute Magento commands through
roll magento - Composer Integration: Run Composer commands in project environments
Reliability Features
- Command Timeouts: All commands have appropriate timeouts to prevent hanging (5-15 min depending on operation)
- Output File Redirection: Option to save command output to log files for later investigation
Prerequisites
- RollDev installed and configured
- Node.js 18+
- Active RollDev project environments (for some operations)

- "Show me all enabled modules in the database"
- "Check the current configuration values for my store"
Magento Development
- "Execute 'cache:flush' Magento command in my project"
- "Run 'setup:upgrade' on my Magento installation"
- "List all available Magento CLI commands"

- "Require the symfony/console package in my project"
Output File Redirection
