New in 2.3: The Developer MCP to Make AI Coding Tools Fluent in Xano

Mon, Apr 20

The Xano Developer MCP (@xano/developer-mcp) is a local MCP server that gives AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client) live XanoScript documentation, syntax validation, and workflow guides directly inside the AI tool.

With the Developer MCP, you get:

  • Real-time XanoScript validation using the official language server, so AI-generated code is checked for syntax errors before it ever reaches your workspace.

  • Context-aware documentation surfaced based on the file being edited, plus full documentation available on demand.

  • Step-by-step workflow guides for common Xano development patterns.

It installs in a single command and works with any MCP-compatible AI coding tool. Paired with the Xano CLI, it forms the complete code-first Xano workflow: the MCP ensures the AI understands XanoScript and generates valid logic, and the CLI is how that logic actually reaches your workspace.

Documentation is available in the Xano docs and on GitHub and NPM.
