About Neurodev MCP
Neurodev MCP is an MCP server published by ravikant1918 in the Developer Tools category: neuroDev MCP is a smart Model Context Protocol server for Python development. It performs deep code review, generates high-quality unit tests, runs test suites with coverage, and formats code automatically — all through an AI assistant like Claude or Cline.
Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/ravikant1918/neurodev-mcpThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

🚀 Quick Start
Step 1: Configure Your MCP Client
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"neurodev-mcp": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/neurodev-mcp/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "neurodev_mcp.server"]
}
}
}
💡 Tip: Replace
/absolute/path/to/neurodev-mcpwith your actual path
Add to your MCP settings:
{
"neurodev-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "neurodev_mcp.server"]
}
}
Run the server directly:
# Using the module
python -m neurodev_mcp.server
# Or as a command (if installed)
neurodev-mcp
Step 2: Restart Your Client
Restart Claude Desktop or reload VSCode to load the server.
Step 3: Start Using! 🎉
Try these commands with your AI assistant:
- "Review this Python code for issues"
- "Generate unit tests for this function"
- "Run these tests with coverage"
- "Format this code to PEP8 standards"
🌐 Transport Options
NeuroDev MCP supports multiple transport protocols for different use cases:
STDIO (Default) - Local CLI
Perfect for local development with MCP clients like Claude Desktop or Cline:
# Default STDIO transport
neurodev-mcp
# Or explicitly specify STDIO
neurodev-mcp --transport stdio
Configuration (Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"neurodev-mcp": {
"command": "neurodev-mcp",
"args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
}
}
}
SSE (Server-Sent Events) - Web Integration
For web-based integrations and HTTP streaming:
# Run with SSE on default port (8000)
neurodev-mcp --transport sse
# Custom host and port
neurodev-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000
Endpoints:
- SSE Stream:
http://localhost:8000/sse - Messages:
http://localhost:8000/messages(POST)
Web Client Example:
const sse = new EventSource('http://localhost:8000/sse');
sse.onmessage = (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log('Received:', data);
};
// Send message
fetch('http://localhost:8000/messages', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
method: 'tools/call',
params: {
name: 'code_review',
arguments: { code: 'def test(): pass', analyzers: ['pylint'] }
}
})
});
Transport Comparison
| Transport | Use Case | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| STDIO | Local CLI clients | Claude Desktop, Cline, local development |
| SSE | Web integrations | Browser apps, webhooks, remote clients |

💡 Usage Examples
Example 1: Complete Code Review Workflow
You: "Review this code for issues and security problems"
[paste code]
AI: [Uses code_review tool]
→ Finds 3 style issues
→ Detects 1 security vulnerability
→ Suggests complexity improvements
You: "Fix those issues and show me the updated code"
AI: [Provides fixed code with explanations]
Example 2: Test Generation & Execution
You: "Generate tests for this function and run them"
def divide(a: float, b: float) -> float:
if b == 0:
raise ValueError("Cannot divide by zero")
return a / b
AI: [Uses generate_tests tool]
→ Creates 5 test cases
→ Includes edge cases (zero, negative numbers)
→ Tests exception handling
[Uses run_tests tool]
→ 5/5 tests passing ✓
→ 100% code coverage
→ All edge cases handled
Example 3: Code Formatting
You: "Format this messy code"
def calculate( x,y,z ):
result=x+y+z
if result>10:
return True
return False
AI: [Uses format_code tool]
→ Applies black formatting
→ Returns clean, PEP8-compliant code
def calculate(x, y, z):
result = x + y + z
if result > 10:
return True
return False

❓ Troubleshooting
- ✅ Check that the path in config is absolute
- ✅ Ensure the Python executable path is correct
- ✅ Restart Claude Desktop or VSCode completely
- ✅ Check server logs for errors
# Reinstall the package
pip install -e .
# Verify installation
python -c "from neurodev_mcp import CodeAnalyzer; print('✓ OK')"
# Run installation tests
python test_installation.py
- ✅ Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed
- ✅ Activate virtual environment:
source .venv/bin/activate - ✅ Reinstall dependencies:
pip install -e . - ✅ Run:
python test_installation.pyto diagnose
- Some analyzers (pylint, mypy) can be slow on large files
- Use specific analyzers:
"analyzers": ["flake8", "ast"] - Increase timeout for large test suites
- Consider caching results (future feature)
