Misterdev MCP Server
An autonomous LLM build orchestrator that plans a goal into tasks, edits your code with surgical precision, and verifies every change through correctness gates before it ever reports done. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

before you install - you'll need
Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY before connecting.
Claude Code
claude mcp add dcondrey-misterdev -- uvx misterdev Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
repo age created 2026-07-05 - young repo, little track record yet
license AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package misterdev - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.dcondrey is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Misterdev FAQ
What is Misterdev?
An autonomous LLM build orchestrator that plans a goal into tasks, edits your code with surgical precision, and verifies every change through correctness gates before it ever reports done. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Misterdev still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-07-27 and it shipped 6 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Misterdev?
Run `uvx misterdev`. The README documents one environment variable (OPENROUTER_API_KEY) to set first. Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Misterdev run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
