Language / 语言: English | 中文

📦 Installation

# Using npm
npm install vue-mcp-next

# Using yarn
yarn add vue-mcp-next

# Using pnpm
pnpm add vue-mcp-next

⚠️ Important Prerequisites

Before using Vue MCP Next, you must install and enable Vue DevTools!

Vue MCP Next relies on Vue DevTools to access and manipulate the runtime state of Vue applications. Please ensure:

1. Install Vue DevTools browser extension
2. DevTools is connected when the application is running
3. Confirm DevTools can properly display component tree and state

Without Vue DevTools, Vue MCP Next will not work properly.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Standard MCP Protocol: Fully implemented based on official SDK
• 🏗️ Layered Architecture: Core layer focuses on protocol, Plugin layer adapts platforms
• 🔧 Multi-platform Support: Supports Vite, Webpack, Farm and other build tools
• ⚡ Runtime Operations: Real-time viewing and modification of Vue application state
• 🔍 Built-in Inspector: Integrated MCP Inspector debugging tool
• 📱 Vue DevTools Integration: Based on @vue/devtools-kit

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Before getting started, please ensure:

1. Install Vue DevTools browser extension

   • Chrome Extension
   • Firefox Extension
   • Edge Extension

2. Ensure Vue DevTools can properly connect to your application

Vite Project Configuration

Add the plugin to your vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { vueMcpVitePlugin } from 'vue-mcp-next'
import DevTools from 'vite-plugin-vue-devtools'

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    port: 5174  // Vite uses port 5174
  },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    DevTools(),  // Recommended: Enable Vue DevTools during development
    vueMcpVitePlugin({
      port: 8890,                    // MCP server port
      inspector: {
        enabled: true,               // Enable MCP Inspector
        autoStart: true,             // Auto start
        openBrowser: false,          // Whether to automatically open browser
      }
    })
  ],
})

Start the Project

pnpm dev

After starting:

• Your Vue application will run at http://localhost:5174
• MCP server will run on port 8890
• MCP Inspector will start automatically (if enabled)
• Ensure the Vue DevTools extension in your browser can properly connect to your application

🔧 Configuration Options

VueMcpVitePlugin Options

interface VueMcpVitePluginOptions {
  port?: number                    // MCP server port, default 8890
  inspector?: {
    enabled?: boolean              // Enable Inspector, default true
    autoStart?: boolean            // Auto start, default false
    openBrowser?: boolean          // Auto open browser, default false
  }
}

A modern Vue.js Model Context Protocol implementation for Vue.js applications

Vue MCP Next is a modern MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation that provides runtime state manipulation and control capabilities for Vue.js applications. This project is inspired by and built upon the excellent work of vite-plugin-vue-mcp, focusing on real-time manipulation of running Vue applications, supporting testing, debugging, demonstration scenarios, with layered architecture design, multi-build tool integration, and full compliance with official MCP protocol specifications.
