Official Next.js MCP server for coding agents. Provides runtime diagnostics, route inspection, dev server logs, docs search, and upgrade guides. Requires Next.js 16+ dev server for full runtime features.
Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Sugra API Tools (11)
fetch_data
One-step: find best endpoint for a natural-language query and call it. Combines search + call in one round trip.
search_endpoints
Search the bundled endpoint catalog. Runtime search does not fetch `/openapi.json`.
describe_endpoint
Inspect an endpoint by `operation_id`, including path, method, parameters, required inputs, `agent_hints`, and `request_body_schema` for JSON-body POST operations.
call_endpoint
Call a Sugra API operation by `operation_id`. Arbitrary path calls are no longer supported.
list_toolsets
List catalog groups with endpoint counts and descriptions.
list_sources
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Sugra API is categorized under Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Next Devtools MCP belongs to Cloud Platforms using local stdio subprocess. Select Sugra API when you need capabilities focused on cloud platforms and Next Devtools MCP when you require tools for cloud platforms.
Screen a name against sanctions and watchlists (Sugra Entity).
sugra_entity_lookup
Composed entity lookup by identifier - `anchor` is `lei` or `vat`, plus the identifier `value`; returns registry identity + screening (Sugra Entity).
resolve_entity
Free text (ticker, company, indicator, coin, currency pair) to a canonical market or macro entity. Ambiguous matches return ranked candidates, never a silent pick.
get_snapshot
Entity plus a named recipe to one composed current view with freshness, provenance, coverage, and billing blocks. Composed calls charge a fixed recipe cost (1-2 requests) from the daily quota.
get_timeseries
Entity plus metric (`price`, `macro_series`, `etf_flows`, `etf_monthly_flows`) to a bounded series with an explicit downsampling flag. `etf_flows` estimates at filing cadence; `etf_monthly_flows` is the fund's own NPORT-P monthly creations and redemptions.
Next Devtools MCP Tools (4)
nextjs_index
Discover running Next.js dev servers and list each one's runtime MCP tools.
nextjs_call
Call a runtime tool on a discovered server (errors, routes, logs, Server Actions).
nextjs_docs
Gateway.** Point the agent at version-accurate docs in `node_modules/next/dist/docs/`.
browser_eval
Gateway.** Point the agent at the [`agent-browser`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) CLI for browser automation.
