Rn Devtools Hub MCP Server
The agent runtime for React Native. Your agent sees the app the way React sees it, knows which file produced each element, acts without coordinates, and proves that it works. Zero dependencies, no telemetry or usage counting, with a local hub and SDK.
People who work with debugging, devtools and expo and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
