An MCP server that gives your AI assistant 17 developer utilities — base64, UUID, JWT decode, cron, timestamps, JSON, regex. No API keys, no external services, just `npx`.
```
You: "Decode this JWT: eyJhbGci..."
AI: Header: { alg: "RS256" } Payload: { sub: "1234", exp: 1700000000 } Expired: yes
```
> Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot. Zero auth required.

## Tools
| Tool | What it does |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `base64_encode` | Encode a string to Base64 |
| `base64_decode` | Decode a Base64 string |
| `uuid_generate` | Generate one or more UUIDs (v4) |
| `ulid_generate` | Generate a ULID |
| `hash` | Hash a string (md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512) |
| `hash_all` | Hash with all algorithms at once |
| `jwt_decode` | Decode a JWT token (header, payload, expiry) |
| `cron_explain` | Explain a cron expression in plain English |
| `cron_validate` | Validate a cron expression |
| `cron_next` | Show next N run times for a cron expression |
| `timestamp_to_iso` | Convert Unix timestamp to ISO 8601 |
| `iso_to_timestamp` | Convert ISO 8601 to Unix timestamp |
| `timestamp_now` | Get current time in multiple formats |
| `json_format` | Pretty-print a JSON string |
| `json_minify` | Minify a JSON string |
| `json_validate` | Validate JSON and report its type |
| `regex_test` | Test a regex pattern against a string |
## Quick Start
### With Claude Desktop
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devutils": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-devutils"]
}
}
}
```
### With Cursor
Add to your `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devutils": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-devutils"]
}
}
}
```
### With VS Code (Copilot)
Add to your `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"servers": {
"devutils": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-devutils"]
}
}
}
```
## Examples
Ask your AI assistant:
- "Decode this JWT token: eyJhbG..."
- "What does the cron expression `0 9 * * 1-5` mean?"
- "Generate 5 UUIDs"
- "Hash this string with SHA-256: hello world"
- "Convert Unix timestamp 1700000000 to a date"
- "Format this JSON: {"a":1,"b":2}"
- "Test the regex `\d{3}-\d{4}` against '555-1234'"
## Development
```bash
npm install
npm test
npm run build
```
