DevBrain is a server that enables you to interact with developer-curated content through the following functionalities:
- Search Content: Query for relevant developer articles, blogs, and code snippets based on specific search terms
- Filter Results: Ground searches using optional comma-separated tags or keywords
- Read Articles: Retrieve the full content of an article by providing its URL
- Token Management: Get the current authentication token or set a new one
Allows running the DevBrain MCP server as a Docker container for containerized deployment and integration with Claude

About
It is a newsletter-based MCP that searches for relevant code snippets, indie developer articles and blog posts so you don't have to hunt through generic web results again. Just ask LLM: "research on devbrain"
It's kind of like a web search, but specifically tuned for high-quality, developer-curated content. You can easily plug in your favorite newsletter to expand its knowledge base even further.
For example, when you are implementing feature "A", DevBrain can pull related articles that would serve as a solid reference and a foundation for your implementation.
| Claude app | Goose app (tap on an image to open utube) |
DevBrain returns articles as short description + URL, you can then:
- instruct LLM agent like
ClaudeorGooseto fetch full contents of the articles using provided URLs - instruct LLM to implement a feature based on all or selected articles
Installation and Usage
Via uv or uvx. Install uv and uvx (if not installed):
Example command to run MCP server in stdio mode:
Use in Claude
To add devbrain to Claude's config, edit the file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
and insert devbrain to existing mcpServers block like so:
Claude issues:
- Somehow it fails to get the latest version even when OS has it installed. Forcing an update (at least once) is required for Claude app. This is done with
--force-reinstallarg. - Claude is known to fail when working with
uvanduvxbinaries. See related: https://gist.github.com/gregelin/b90edaef851f86252c88ecc066c93719. If you encounter this error then run these commands in a Terminal:
and restart Claude.
Integration for Cline and other AI agents
Command to start DevBrain MCP in stdio mode:
and add this command to a config file of the AI agent (Cline or other).
Note that DevBrain requires Python 3.10+ support. Most systems have it installed. However VS Code (that Cline depends on) is shipped with Python 3.9. Use correct version of Python when running DevBrain MCP. A corrected version to launch DevBrain MCP looks like this:
Docker integration
You can run this MCP as a Docker container in STDIO mode. First build an image with build.sh. Then add a config to Claude like so:
Test command to verify that docker container works correctly:

hybrid server
The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.
Quickly search indexed indie devs blog posts and articles.
It is like chatting with your favourite newsletters (coding, tech, founder).
It's kind of like a web search, but specifically tuned for high-quality, developer-curated content.
Use case: help implement features faster.
