DevLens runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 132 installs a week from npm. Last commit 22 Aug 2026.
Query a precomputed code graph (nodes, edges, summaries) of TS/JS/React/Next.js/Node repos via MCP.
What the code does
We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.mjs
const result = spawnSync(binPath, process.argv.slice(2), { stdio: "inherit" });
const abs = path.join(ctx.result.repoPath, node.filePath);
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
