Control DevForge by talking

Add a task by talking

Add a task 'Fix mobile nav bug' to my Company HP project in DevForge

→ list_projects → create_task
Audit and summarize

Run a site audit on my portfolio site and tell me the worst items first with fix steps

→ list_projects → run_site_audit → get_audit_result
Log dev activity

Log 'Finished MCP integration' to DevForge on the project I'm working on

→ list_projects → log_dev_activity
Cross-project task list

Show me all open tasks across projects ordered by priority

→ list_tasks

Available tools

8 tools available (more coming)

list_projects

List all projects owned by the authenticated user, ordered by priority (1 = highest). Excludes soft-deleted projects. Use this to discover what projects exist.

get_project

Get full details of a single project by ID, including all its active tasks and the latest site audit score if available.

list_tasks

List tasks across projects. If projectId is given, returns tasks for that project only. Otherwise returns tasks for all projects ordered by project priority, then task sortOrder.

create_task

Add a new task (TODO item) to a project. The task is added at the top of the project's task list. Returns the created task.

update_task_status

Change the status of an existing task. Use this to mark tasks as doing / hold / done, or to reopen completed tasks.

run_site_audit

Run a full site audit (security + SEO + LLMO + integration = 26 items) on a project's production URL. Saves the result to the project. Returns the score and category breakdown. Typical runtime: 5-15 seconds.

get_audit_result

Get the latest saved site audit result for a project without re-running. Returns full per-item results. Run `run_site_audit` first if no result exists yet.

log_dev_activity

Record a development activity log entry for a project. Use this to track what you've been working on from Claude Code / Codex / Cursor. Appears in the project's activity timeline.

Setup guide

(1) Sign up for DevForge → (2) Create an API key in Settings → (3) Paste it into your AI client

1. Create an API key

After login, go to Integrations → API Keys (MCP Server) and click "Create key". A key in the format dfk_xxx_... is shown only once at creation.

2. Configure your client
Claude Code

Anthropic official CLI. One command in your terminal.

claude mcp add --transport http devforge \
  https://devforge.itlibra.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer dfk_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Steps
  1. Run the command above in your terminal (replace dfk_xxx... with your key)
  2. Run `claude mcp list` to verify
  3. Test by asking Claude Code "Show me my DevForge projects"
Claude Desktop

Desktop Claude app. Edit config file and restart.

Windows%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devforge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://devforge.itlibra.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer dfk_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
Steps
  1. Open the config file at the path above (create if it doesn't exist)
  2. Add the mcpServers section (keep existing content)
  3. Replace dfk_xxx... with your key
  4. Save and restart Claude Desktop
💡 Tip

If you use Claude Code, you can ask it to edit this config file for you: tell it the path and JSON above, and say "Add DevForge to my Claude Desktop MCP config".

Cursor

Cursor IDE. Configure via settings file or GUI.

Windows%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json
macOS / Linux~/.cursor/mcp.json
Or GUICursor → Settings → MCP → Add Server
{
  "mcpServers": {

        "Authorization": "Bearer dfk_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
Steps
  1. Create mcp.json at the path above (or add to existing)
  2. Replace dfk_xxx... with your key
  3. Restart Cursor
  4. Test by asking "List my DevForge projects" in chat
💡 Tip

You can also ask Claude Code to edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json for you.

Codex (OpenAI)

OpenAI Codex CLI. MCP support since March 2025.

Config file~/.codex/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devforge": {
      "url": "https://devforge.itlibra.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer dfk_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
Steps
  1. Create or edit ~/.codex/config.json
  2. Replace dfk_xxx... with your key
  3. Restart codex and test
💡 Tip

You can ask Claude Code to create ~/.codex/config.json for you.

Cline / Continue / Windsurf / Zed

Other MCP-compatible clients use the same endpoint + Bearer auth.

Cline (VS Code)VS Code → Cline extension → MCP Settings
Continue~/.continue/config.json
Windsurf~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
ZedZed → Settings → MCP
Endpoint:  https://devforge.itlibra.com/api/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST JSON-RPC 2.0)
Auth:      Authorization: Bearer dfk_xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any client that supports MCP over HTTP just needs the URL and Authorization header.
💡 Tip

If you use Claude Code, you can tell it the config file path and connection info above and ask it to add DevForge to your MCP config.

Endpoint spec
  • URL: https://devforge.itlibra.com/api/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST)
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer dfk_xxx_...
  • Rate limit: 60 req/min per API key
  • Timeout: 30s per tool call

Pricing and transparency

Access to the MCP server, API key creation, and tool calls are all completely free on the DevForge side. AI inference costs (Claude / GPT / Gemini etc.) are billed directly by your AI client to each provider — DevForge never acts as a middleman for AI billing.
