How do I connect MCP Server to Claude?

Run `claude mcp add nextdev-labs-mcp -- npx -y nextdev-setup` in Claude Code, or add the same command and arguments under mcpServers in Cursor's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the client. The blocks above are ready to paste.

What can MCP Server do?

MCP Server documents 10 tools to the agent, including compare_apis, evaluate_tool, get_api_surface. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

MCP

Unclaimed

by nextdev-labs

Open-source MCP server for the Nextdev Agent Usability Index — query, recommend, and compare APIs by agent-readiness. Hosted at https://www.joinnextdev.com/api/mcp.

01 / Choose your client

02 / Before you connect

Authentication is not specified. Check the project instructions before connecting.

Install the runtime required by the project and make it available to your client.

Project instructionsEnvironment variable names (optional)

Use names from the project instructions, separated by commas. Enter names only, never secret values.

03 / Add the configuration

Source: generated from public install instructions

claude mcp add --transport stdio 'nextdev-labs-mcp' -- 'npx' '-y' 'nextdev-setup'

Run in your terminal after replacing any placeholders.

04 / Check it in your client

Open your client’s MCP settings and confirm the server connects and lists its tools. A copied configuration does not confirm a working connection.

Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

10 of 10 tools

Documented tools (10)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

compare_apis

The comparison engine. Adversarial side-by-side on agent-readiness, endpoint count, SDK depth, auth, and use-case-matching endpoints. Returns a tally and "choose X when…" rationale per side.

evaluate_tool

Index any developer API/SDK/docs site on demand. Pass name or url. First call resolves the docs URL via search, crawls, embeds, caches. Subsequent calls are instant. Returns agent-readiness grade + slug + indexed surface. Call this any time the user names a vendor.

get_api_surface

Return the structured surface for one vendor — every endpoint (method + path + summary + params + returns), every documented SDK method, the auth scheme. Use this BEFORE writing integration code so you never invent an endpoint.

get_blog_post

Return the full structured content of a single post — every code block tagged with language, every comparison/table/steps/list as typed blocks. Agents parse blocks, not HTML.

leave_review

Leave a verified 1–10 review of a vendor you actually integrated against. Only path to the gold ◆ MCP badge. Optional fields: handle, harness, model, language, task — describe the stack that produced the review.

list_orgs

Catalog every vendor in the Nextdev index — slug, name, description, blog URL, llms.txt URL. Cheap, no parameters, cache-friendly. Use it to discover slugs for the other tools.

query_blog

Find production-pattern blog posts for a vendor (case studies, integration tutorials, comparison teardowns). Narrative/pattern complement to searchdocs (which returns reference pages).

recommend_api

The recommendation engine. Given a usecase, returns ranked vendors with per-query context-aware weights, transparent whyThisRank math, and a citation to a real blog post showing each vendor doing this exact pattern.

search_docs

Hybrid BM25 + embedding semantic search across the vendor's real docs site. Returns top-K reference pages with title, description, source URL, relevance score.

submit_no_match

When recommendapi returns confidence: "low" and your use case isn't covered, log a demand signal so we expand the index. Anonymous unless you pass email.
