Prerequisites
- Node.js v20+ - Required to build MCP servers and run the dashboard
- npm - Comes with Node.js
- Git - Required for cloning dev-suite and the knowledge base
- Claude Code - The Anthropic CLI tool that dev-suite extends
Optional:
- Docker - Required if using the docker-manager MCP server
- Database - Required if using the database-query MCP server (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
Quick Start
Prefer a one-click installer? Skip the clone step and jump to Desktop App Downloads for Windows / macOS / Linux pre-built installers.
1. Clone Dev-Suite
git clone https://github.com/claude-dev-suite/claude-dev-suite.git
cd claude-dev-suite
2. Initialize Your Project
# Launch interactive web dashboard
./init-project.sh /path/to/your-project
# Windows PowerShell
.\init-project.ps1 C:\path\to\your-project
# Quick mode (auto-detect + apply best preset)
./init-project.sh /path/to/your-project --quick
The script will:
- Check Node.js installation (v20+)
- Build MCP servers if needed (
npm install && npm run build) - Launch the web dashboard at
http://localhost:3456 - Guide you through a 5-step wizard to configure your project
3. Restart Claude Code
Once initialization completes, restart Claude Code to load the new MCP servers and agents.
4. Start Using Dev-Suite
After restarting Claude Code, everything works automatically:
- Agents are routed based on your prompts (e.g., asking about React triggers the
react-expert) - MCP tools are available as Claude Code tools (e.g.,
fetch_docs,execute_query) - Skills provide context-specific knowledge to agents
- Slash commands are available (e.g.,
/docs react hooks)

Knowledge Base Architecture
The knowledge base provides on-demand documentation for 121+ technologies via a separate Git repository: github.com/claude-dev-suite/knowledge_base
How it works:
Agent needs docs → documentation MCP → Git sparse checkout → Cache (2h TTL) → Return to agent
- An agent (or you) requests documentation via
fetch_docs({ technology: "react", topic: "hooks" }) - The documentation MCP server checks the local cache (
.kb-cache/) - If cached and fresh (< 2 hours), it returns the cached content immediately
- If not cached or stale, it performs a Git sparse checkout to fetch only the requested files from the KB repository
- The content is cached locally for subsequent requests
The three-layer knowledge system:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Layer 1: Skills (.claude/skills/) │ Always loaded in agent context
│ Quick-reference guides, patterns, rules │ Instant access, no network needed
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Layer 2: Quick-Refs (skills/*/quick-ref/) │ Detailed guides per topic
│ Each references KB docs for deep dives │ Loaded on demand by agent
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Layer 3: Knowledge Base (Git repo) │ Full documentation
│ 121+ technologies, fetched via MCP server │ On-demand, cached 2 hours
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Layer 1 (Skills): Concise rules and patterns loaded directly into the agent context. No network required.
- Layer 2 (Quick-Refs): More detailed guides within skill folders. Each quick-ref links to KB docs for full documentation.
- Layer 3 (Knowledge Base): Complete documentation stored in a separate Git repository, fetched on-demand by the documentation MCP server with local caching.
Configuration:
# Optional: use a custom KB repository (defaults to official repo)
KB_REPO_URL=https://github.com/claude-dev-suite/knowledge_base.git
# Optional: cache TTL in seconds (default: 7200 = 2 hours)
KB_CACHE_TTL=7200
Adding documentation to the KB:
- Clone the KB repository:
git clone https://github.com/claude-dev-suite/knowledge_base.git - Add markdown files under
knowledge/{technology}/{topic}.md - Update the relevant category file in
mcp-servers/documentation/src/docs-index/(e.g.,testing.ts,backend.ts) to register the new technology —docs-index.tsis a re-export aggregator, do not edit it directly - Commit and push - the documentation MCP server will fetch new docs automatically on next request
Project Templates
Ready-to-use scaffolding templates for quick project setup:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| api-nodejs | Node.js API starter |
| express-api | Express.js REST API |
| frontend-react | React frontend with Vite |
| react-tanstack | React with TanStack Query + Router |
| nextjs-standalone | Next.js App Router standalone |
| fullstack-nextjs-nestjs | Next.js + NestJS monorepo |
| springboot-api | Spring Boot 3 REST API |
| springboot-react-fullstack | Spring Boot + React fullstack |
| python-fastapi | FastAPI Python backend |
| vue-nuxt | Vue.js with Nuxt 3 |
| unity-2d-game | Unity 6 2D game scaffold (URP 2D, Cinemachine, Input System, sample PlayerController2D with coyote time + jump buffer) |
Templates are used during the initialization wizard (Step 0) and provide pre-configured project structure, dependencies, and dev-suite integration.
Custom Agents Builder
Create and manage custom agents directly from the dashboard:
- Visual Editor - Write agent markdown with YAML frontmatter
- Skill Association - Link agents to specific skills and MCP servers
- Instant Deployment - Agents are saved to
.claude/agents/and immediately available - Edit & Delete - Manage existing custom agents from the dashboard
Recipes & Automations
Pre-built automation workflows for common development tasks:
- Browse and apply built-in automation recipes
- Recipes combine agent actions, hooks, and tool configurations
- Apply recipes to quickly set up common patterns (testing pipelines, linting, code review flows)
Hooks Management
Configure Git hooks and Claude Code hooks from the dashboard:
- Git Hooks - Pre-commit, pre-push, commit-msg hooks
- Claude Code Hooks - Event-based automation (on file write, on tool call)
- Visual Configuration - Edit hooks through the dashboard UI
- Template Support - Pre-configured hook templates for common workflows
Update System
Keep dev-suite components up to date through the dashboard Updates tab:
- Version Visibility - See the dev-suite version installed in your project alongside the version available from source, with an at-a-glance Up to date / Update available status
- New Component Discovery - Proactively notifies when new agents or MCP servers are added to dev-suite after your installation, with one-click install
- Reinstall / Sync - A single, transactional erase-and-replace that re-aligns a project to the current source: managed components are re-installed and orphaned ones removed, while your custom agents/skills,
CLAUDE.mdnotes, andsettings.jsonkeys are preserved - Per-file opt-out - Locally modified managed files are previewed with an Overwrite / Keep choice
- Safe by default - A backup is taken before any change and any failure rolls back automatically
Electron Desktop App
The dashboard is available as a native desktop application:
- Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Fast startup with optimized splash screen
- Auto-updater for seamless version updates
- Native system tray integration
- Same features as the web dashboard
See Desktop App Downloads below for pre-built installers.
Desktop App Downloads
Pre-built installers for every tagged release are published on the GitHub Releases page.
Important prerequisite — install Node.js first. The desktop app launches its own dashboard but does not ship a system-wide Node.js runtime. Claude Code starts MCP servers via the
.mcp.jsonit reads on each project, and those server processes requirenodeto be available on the user'sPATH. Without Node.js v20+ installed system-wide, MCP servers will fail silently. The app shows a warning dialog on first launch if Node is missing — install it from nodejs.org and restart the app.
| Platform | Architecture | Asset | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | x64 | Dev-Suite-Dashboard-Setup-x.y.z.exe |
NSIS installer |
| macOS | Apple Silicon | Dev-Suite-Dashboard-x.y.z-arm64.dmg |
M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 |
| macOS | Intel | Dev-Suite-Dashboard-x.y.z-x64.dmg |
2019 and earlier |
| Linux | x64 | Dev-Suite-Dashboard-x.y.z.AppImage |
Portable, all distros (incl. Fedora / RHEL) |
| Linux | x64 | dev-suite-dashboard_x.y.z_amd64.deb |
Debian / Ubuntu / Mint |
Installers are currently unsigned. The OS will show a warning on first launch — see the per-platform instructions below.
Windows
- Download
Dev-Suite-Dashboard-Setup-x.y.z.exe. - Double-click to run. SmartScreen will show "Windows protected your PC" because the binary isn't signed yet.
- Click More info → Run anyway.
- The installer will set up the app and add a Start menu shortcut.
macOS
- Download the DMG matching your CPU:
arm64for Apple Silicon,x64for Intel.- Not sure? Click → About This Mac. "Chip: Apple…" = arm64.
- Open the DMG and drag Dev-Suite Dashboard into Applications.
- First launch is blocked by Gatekeeper because the app isn't notarized. Choose one:
- Recommended: Right-click the app in Applications → Open → confirm Open in the dialog. macOS will remember the choice.
- CLI alternative: strip the quarantine flag:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Dev-Suite Dashboard.app"
Linux — AppImage (portable, all distros)
chmod +x Dev-Suite-Dashboard-*.AppImage
./Dev-Suite-Dashboard-*.AppImage
If the AppImage refuses to run on a system without FUSE 2 (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+), install it with sudo apt install libfuse2 or extract and run instead:
./Dev-Suite-Dashboard-*.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run
Linux — Debian / Ubuntu / Mint (.deb)
sudo dpkg -i dev-suite-dashboard_*_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f # only if dpkg reports missing dependencies
Linux — Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE
No native .rpm is published yet — use the AppImage above. It runs on all RPM-based distros without installation.
Auto-updates
The desktop app checks GitHub Releases at startup and every 4 hours. When a new version is published, you'll get an in-app notification and an Install on quit option. Auto-updates work the same on all three platforms.
Installation Modes
Interactive Mode (Default)
./init-project.sh /path/to/project
Launches web dashboard at http://localhost:3456 with 5-step wizard:
- Detection - Auto-detect stack, databases, Git provider
- Agents - Select specialized experts (pre-selected based on stack)
- MCP Servers - Select tools (pre-selected based on stack)
- Environment - Configure database URLs, API tokens
- Install - Generate config files and copy components
Quick Mode
./init-project.sh /path/to/project --quick
Auto-detects stack and applies best-matching preset with minimal prompts.
Non-Interactive Mode
./init-project.sh /path/to/project --non-interactive --project-type fullstack
Uses detected values or defaults, no user input required.
Usage
Daily Development with Agents
After initialization, agents work automatically in Claude Code. When you ask questions or give tasks, Claude Code routes them to the appropriate agent based on keywords:
You: "Add a login form with validation"
→ Claude Code activates react-expert (detects React/frontend keywords)
→ Agent uses react skills + documentation MCP for best practices
You: "Why is this SQL query slow?"
→ Claude Code activates sql-expert (detects SQL/query keywords)
→ Agent uses database-query MCP to run EXPLAIN and analyze
You: "Review this PR for security issues"
→ Claude Code activates code-reviewer + security-expert
→ Agents use code-quality and security-scanner MCP tools
Using MCP Tools Directly
MCP tools are available as Claude Code tools. You can ask Claude to use them:
"Fetch the React hooks documentation"
→ fetch_docs({ technology: "react", topic: "hooks" })
"List all Docker containers"
→ docker_ps({ all: true })
"Scan this project for vulnerabilities"
→ scan_all({ path: "." })
Using the Dashboard
The dashboard can be reopened at any time for project management:
# Reopen dashboard for current project
./init-project.sh .
# Or via Claude Code MCP tool
# Ask Claude: "Open the dashboard"
→ dashboard_open()
Dashboard tabs:
- Wizard - Re-run the initialization wizard or use templates
- Manage - Add/remove agents, MCP servers, hooks, custom agents, recipes (with proactive new-component notifications)
- Orchestrator - Submit multi-agent tasks with real-time progress
- Analytics - View knowledge base usage statistics
- Git - Visual git operations (branches, commits, diffs, GitHub CLI auth detection with automatic login prompts)
- Updates - Check for and apply dev-suite updates
Using the Orchestrator
For complex tasks that require multiple agents:
- Open the dashboard (
./init-project.sh .) - Go to the Orchestrator tab
- Describe your task (e.g., "Refactor the auth module and add tests")
- Submit the job
- Claude Code picks up the task, executes agents, and streams results back
- View the recap with changed files, test results, and build status
Using Templates
To scaffold a new project from a template:
- Open the dashboard
- In the wizard, select "Start from Template" mode
- Choose a template (e.g.,
fullstack-nextjs-nestjs) - Configure project-specific options
- The template generates the project structure with dev-suite pre-configured

Bitcoin agents are domain-experts — language-specific work (Rust/TS/Python/Go/JVM/.NET/C) routes to the existing language-experts via skill detection. Skills
bitcoin/libraries/*are loaded onto the matching language-expert when projects use those libraries (rust-bitcoin / bdk / ldk / bitcoinjs-lib / @scure/btc-signer / python-bitcoinlib / btcd / bitcoinj / NBitcoin / libwally / etc.).
Commands Reference
Slash commands available in Claude Code after initialization:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/init-project [preset] |
Initialize dev-suite for a project with optional preset |
/docs <technology> [topic] |
Access documentation for a technology |
/generate <type> |
Generate code scaffolding (components, APIs, tests) |
/show-config |
Display current dev-suite configuration |
/reconfigure |

Upgrading
Via Dashboard (Recommended)
The easiest way to upgrade is through the Updates tab in the dashboard:
- Open the dashboard:
./init-project.sh . - Navigate to the Updates tab
- Check the version panel — it shows the version installed in your project vs the version available from source
- Click Reinstall / Sync to re-align the project to the current source
Reinstall / Sync performs a transactional erase-and-replace: managed
components are re-installed from source and orphaned ones removed, while your
custom agents/skills, CLAUDE.md notes, and settings.json keys are preserved.
Locally modified files are previewed with an Overwrite / Keep choice, a backup
is taken, and any failure rolls back automatically. Headless equivalent:
/reinstall-dev-suite or npm run reinstall -- --project <path> --dry-run.
Manual Upgrade
# 1. Pull the latest dev-suite
cd dev-suite
git pull origin main
# 2. Rebuild all MCP servers
cd mcp-servers && npm install && npm run build
# 3. Sync installed projects (run in each project)
/path/to/dev-suite/init-project.sh /path/to/your-project
Then restart Claude Code to reload the updated MCP servers.
From v1.0.x to v1.1.x
No breaking changes. Run the manual upgrade steps above. New components (agents, skills, MCP servers) added since your installation are surfaced automatically in the dashboard Manage tab with a one-click install option.
Monorepo Support
Dev-Suite automatically detects monorepo structures:
my-project/
├── frontend/ # React, Vue, etc.
│ └── package.json
├── backend/ # Spring Boot, NestJS, etc.
│ └── pom.xml
└── docker-compose.yml
Detected patterns:
- Frontend:
frontend,client,web,app,*-frontend - Backend:
backend,server,api,*-backend
The wizard generates .dev-suite.json with relative paths:
{
"project": {
"isMonorepo": true,
"frontendPath": "frontend",
"backendPath": "backend"
}
}

Troubleshooting
Dashboard doesn't launch
- Check Node.js version:
node --version(must be v20+) - Check if MCP servers are built:
ls mcp-servers/*/dist/index.js - Check if port 3456 is in use:
netstat -an | findstr 3456(Windows) orlsof -i :3456(Linux/macOS) - Try rebuilding:
cd mcp-servers && npm install && npm run build
MCP servers not detected in Claude Code
- Verify
.mcp.jsonexists in your project root and has valid JSON - Check that all paths in
.mcp.jsonare absolute - Restart Claude Code after initialization
- Check that MCP server dist files exist:
ls .mcp-servers/*/dist/index.js
Agent not routing correctly
- Verify
CLAUDE.mdexists in your project root and contains agent routing rules - Check that agent
.mdfiles exist in.claude/agents/ - Verify YAML frontmatter syntax in agent files
Database MCP not connecting
- Check
DATABASE_URLenvironment variable is set correctly - Test the connection string manually:
psql $DATABASE_URL(PostgreSQL) - Ensure the database server is running
Knowledge base not fetching docs
- Check Git is installed:
git --version - Verify internet connectivity (KB repo is on GitHub)
- Try forcing a refresh: ask Claude to
fetch_docs({ technology: "react", topic: "hooks", refresh: true }) - Check cache directory permissions:
.kb-cache/
