The Dart Tooling MCP Server exposes Dart and Flutter development tool actions to compatible AI-assistant clients.

[![Add to Cursor](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=dart_tooling&config=eyJ0eXBlIjoic3RkaW8iLCJjb21tYW5kIjoiZGFydCBtY3Atc2VydmVyIC0tZXhwZXJpbWVudGFsLW1jcC1zZXJ2ZXIgLS1mb3JjZS1yb290cy1mYWxsYmFjayJ9)

## Status

WIP. This package is still experimental and is likely to evolve quickly.
Expand Down Expand Up @@ -34,6 +36,18 @@ This server only supports the STDIO transport mechanism and runs locally on
your machine. Many of the tools require that your MCP client has `roots`
support, and usage of the tools is scoped to only these directories.

If you are using a client that claims it supports roots but does not actually
set them, pass `--force-roots-fallback` which will instead enable tools for
managing the roots.

### Running from the SDK

For most users, you should just use the `dart mcp-server` command. For now you
also need to provide `--experimental-mcp-server` in order for the command to
succeed.

### Running a local checkout

The server entrypoint lives at `bin/main.dart`, and can be ran however you
choose, but the easiest way is to run it as a globally activated package.

### With Cursor

Go to Cursor -> Settings -> Cursor Settings and select "MCP".

To manually install it, go to Cursor -> Settings -> Cursor Settings and select "MCP".

Then, click "Add new global MCP server". Assuming you have already globally
activated the package and it is on your path, you can add
`dart_mcp_server` as the command.
Then, click "Add new global MCP server".

If you are directly editing your mcp.json file, it should look like this:

```yaml
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"dart_mcp": {
"command": "dart_mcp_server",
"args": []
"command": "dart",
"args": [
"mcp-server",
"--experimental-mcp-server",
"--force-roots-fallback"
]
}
}
