TCSAS-Devtools MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to connect AI assistants with TCSAS-Devtools for a seamless miniprogram development experience.

This server wraps the basic functionalities of TCSAS-Devtools into a set of tools that can be called by AI assistants (like CodeBuddy, Cursor, Claude), allowing you to open, build, preview, and upload miniprograms using natural language.

✨ Features

• Launch IDE: Directly open the TCSAS-Devtools application or a specific miniprogram project.

• Check Installation: Verify if TCSAS-Devtools is installed on the local machine.

• Preview Miniprogram: Generate a QR code for previewing the miniprogram on a mobile device.

• Upload Miniprogram: Upload a new version of the miniprogram with specified version information.

🚀 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following software installed:

• Node.js (v20 or higher recommended)

• npm

• TCSAS-Devtools

📦 Installation and Setup

1. For first-time use, please download the installation package for TCSAS-Devtools from the console in advance, the version should >= 2.2.15.

2. After installation, please open it to complete the login process and enable the service port.

Settings - Security - Enable

Ensure the above steps are completed. Then you can configure the MCP server in your Code Agent and start using it.

🤖 How to Use in Cursor

You can integrate this server with any AI assistant that supports custom MCP servers. Here are the steps to configure it in Cursor:

1. Open Cursor Settings: In Cursor, find the settings for AI integration. This is usually located in Settings > Tools & MCP or a similar configuration area for managing AI providers.

2. Add Custom MCP Service: Look for an option like "Add Model Context Provider" or "MCP Server" and click "Add".

3. Enter Command: For example:

   {
     "tcsas-devtools-mcp-server": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": [
         "-y",
         "tcsas-devtools-mcp-server@latest"
       ]
     }
   }

4. Connect and Start Using: After adding, Cursor will connect to your local server. Now you can interact with it in the chat. For example, you can type:

   "Launch TCSAS-Devtools and open my project at /Users/me/projects/my-miniprogram."

   "Generate a preview QR code for the project I'm currently developing."
