DevLens runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 665 installs a week from npm. Last commit 28 Oct 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, 4 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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" });
return fs.statSync(path.join(dir, file)).isFile();

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.
