Dev Tools

About

Dev Tools offers a comprehensive suite of developer utilities, designed on the principle of 'write a tool once, expose it everywhere.' Leveraging Roslyn source generators, each C# tool class automatically generates a CLI command, an API endpoint, and an MCP tool definition without boilerplate. This versatile library covers essential tasks like encoding/decoding, cryptographic operations, identifier generation, and data formatting, making it readily available across multiple frontends including a CLI, REST API, Web UI, MCP Server, and as a NuGet package for direct application integration.

Key Features

• Write once, expose everywhere architecture with auto-generated CLI, REST API, and MCP server from C# code.
• Localization support for English and Ukrainian, with multi-arch Docker images for flexible deployment.
• Comprehensive and expanding library of developer utilities for encoding, hashing, encryption, identifier generation, and more.
• Seamless integration with AI assistants via the MCP server for intelligent automation.
• Multiple access points including a pipeable CLI, interactive REST API with Scalar docs, Blazor WebAssembly UI, and embeddable NuGet library.
• 3 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Streamline everyday developer tasks such as encoding, hashing, or generating unique identifiers through a versatile CLI or Web UI.
• Automate complex operations by integrating developer utilities directly into AI assistants like Claude or Cursor via the MCP server.
• Embed a comprehensive suite of developer tools directly into .NET applications for seamless backend or frontend integration.
