Devloop Overview

vincentvella/devloop MCP server connects AI agents to a dev server plus a browser or Expo/React Native target, correlating console, network, native, and server output on one timestamped timeline. It exposes browser actions, project and process controls, log and network access, repro workflows, and native-device operations through MCP. Use it when a frontend failure must be compared with backend output from the same moment, or when an agent needs to reproduce a web or native-app issue. It runs over stdio for per-session use, or through an HTTP/SSE daemon or Electron cockpit for shared sessions.

Primary Use Cases for Devloop:
  • Correlate a browser console error with the matching backend stack trace
  • Replay browser or native-app actions while collecting logs
  • Inspect web and React Native network activity on one timeline
  • Drive an Expo project on an iOS simulator or Android emulator
