MCP Toolkit Server (Dart)

Migrating from v2.x

Tool names on MCP are prefixed with fmt_, binaries and mcpServers keys were renamed — see Migrating from v2.x to v3.0.

Architecture

This project now uses a shared core execution layer:

  1. flutter-mcp-toolkit is the canonical command surface (connect, inspect, execute, diagnostics). fmtk is the short alias for the same CLI entrypoint.
  2. flutter-mcp-toolkit-server is a thin MCP protocol adapter that maps MCP tool/resource calls to the same core executor.
  3. MCP tools/list names use the fmt_ capability prefix; CLI exec --name uses command catalog names or aliases outside the MCP tools/call namespace. Resource URIs are unchanged.

The shared core module is available as flutter_mcp_core inside this package.

Golden Path

Use this sequence first on macOS:

  1. Add mcp_toolkit to the app and call MCPToolkitBinding.instance.bootstrapFlutter(...).
  2. Launch the app in debug mode.
  3. Run fmtk validate-runtime (or the canonical long form flutter-mcp-toolkit validate-runtime).
  4. Query dynamic entries in this order: fmt_list_client_tools_and_resources, fmt_client_tool, fmt_client_resource.

Treat exec as expert mode. validate-runtime is the default first-pass proof command.

CLI v3 Surface (Hard Cut)

The CLI is now agent-first and exposes a canonical interface:

  • exec --name <command> --args <json>
  • schema [--name <command>]
  • capabilities
  • serve (JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio)
  • snapshot create --name <id> [--args <json>]
  • snapshot diff --from <id> --to <id>
  • bundle create --from-snapshot <id> [--output <dir>]
  • doctor [--json] [--target <path>] [--timeout-ms <n>]
  • permissions status|request|open-settings [--kind visual_capture]

Safe-write flags for write-producing commands:

  • snapshot create: --check --diff --backup --no-overwrite
  • bundle create: --check --diff --backup --no-overwrite

exec targets commands in the shared CommandCatalog (CLI command names may be bare because they appear only after --name; the CLI is not the MCP tools/call namespace): connect, session_start, session_exec, session_end, diagnose, watch, explain_errors, status, discover_debug_apps, get_vm, get_extension_rpcs, hot_reload_flutter, hot_restart_flutter, get_active_ports, get_app_errors, get_screenshots, focus_window, get_view_details, inspect_widget_at_point, capture_ui_snapshot, debug_dump_layer_tree, debug_dump_semantics_tree, debug_dump_render_tree, debug_dump_focus_tree, fmt_list_client_tools_and_resources, fmt_client_tool, fmt_client_resource, dynamicRegistryStats, semantic_snapshot, tap_widget, long_press, enter_text, reveal_search, scroll, swipe, drag, hot_reload_and_capture, evaluate_dart_expression, get_recent_logs.

MCP names. When invoked via MCP tools/call, exposed tools use the fmt_ capability prefix (e.g. fmt_tap_widget, fmt_hot_reload_and_capture). The dynamic-registry host trio is exposed as fmt_list_client_tools_and_resources, fmt_client_tool, and fmt_client_resource where enabled. dynamicRegistryStats remains available from the CLI catalog for low-level diagnostics and is not part of the default MCP tool surface.

Interaction tools (catalog names: semantic_snapshot → tap_widget / enter_text / reveal_search / scroll / swipe / long_press / drag) follow a Playwright-style ref model: take a snapshot, then pass ref: "s_N" (and optional snapshotId for staleness detection) into the interaction tool. reveal_search is the bounded helper for off-screen semantic targets: it snapshots, matches one narrow selector, scrolls up to maxAttempts, and returns a fresh ref/snapshotId plus trace. hot_reload_and_capture fuses reload + screenshot + fresh snapshot + errors. evaluate_dart_expression runs an ad-hoc Dart expression against the app's root library. See docs/start_here/cli_quick_recipes.mdx and docs/guides/interaction_cookbook.mdx for the full surface and golden paths.

Packaged installs include both flutter-mcp-toolkit and fmtk; examples below use dart run for source-tree development. Prefer fmtk for compact local loops and keep flutter-mcp-toolkit in onboarding, install, PATH, and MCP config docs where the searchable canonical name helps.

CLI runs the same shared command catalog/executor as MCP. Preferred debugging path: discover_debug_apps -> capture_ui_snapshot -> inspect_widget_at_point. get_active_ports and dynamicRegistryStats remain available in CLI for low-level diagnostics, but are intentionally not MCP-exposed by default.

CLI runtime gate for app inspection:

  • Require ext.mcp.toolkit.app_errors, ext.mcp.toolkit.view_details, ext.mcp.toolkit.view_screenshots, and ext.mcp.toolkit.inspect_widget_at_point from get_extension_rpcs.
  • If missing, app-level screenshot/layout/error inspection is blocked until mcp_toolkit is installed, initialized, and the app is hot restarted or rerun.
  • If screenshots show a black rectangle where a map/camera/web view should be, check captureHints on get_view_details or screenshot payloads (platformViewsDetected or weakSignalsDetected). Use mode: desktop_window (or keep auto, which upgrades on macOS host when strong signals are present) instead of flutter_layer.
  • Host capture runs one automatic focus+capture recovery cycle on retryable failures (desktopCaptureRetried in the payload). You can also call focus_window then retry get_screenshots with desktop_window.
  • If first explicit-URI connect times out, retry once and validate with doctor --json --target <ws_uri> --timeout-ms 10000.
  • When --output-dir is set, validate-runtime mirrors its JSON envelope to <output-dir>/validate-runtime.json and screenshot files are written under <output-dir>/.mcp_screenshots/.
  • validate-runtime tries host desktop_window first when auto selects it. Executor recovery retries focus+capture once (desktopCaptureRetried). If desktop_window still fails, validate-runtime retries once with flutter_layer (including when platform views are detected, e.g. the showcase AppKitView). Check data.summary.capturePlatformViewsDetected, captureFocusAttempted, and captureFallbackUsed. Web headful capture options: ADR 0007.

Visual Capture Permissions

  • doctor stays read-only. It now reports visual_capture_backend, visual_capture_permission, visual_capture_truth_mode, and app_permission_bridge.
  • Interactive CLI capture flows default to auto_request_once for exec get_screenshots, exec capture_ui_snapshot, and validate-runtime. Raw command schemas still default to check_only.
  • macOS truthful capture is desktop_window (including iOS Simulator and Chrome / web on a Mac host). Screen Recording permission belongs to the host process running flutter-mcp-toolkit, not the Flutter app. Use permissions request for the native prompt and permissions open-settings after a denial.
  • get_view_details and view_screenshots include captureHints when native platform views are detected (AndroidView, UiKitView, AppKitView, HtmlElementView, PlatformViewLink). Texture sets weakSignalsDetected with a soft warning (no auto upgrade). Hybrid engines without platform views can use MCPToolkitBinding.captureHintsContributor in the app.
  • Image-only get_screenshots MCP responses include routing metadata in meta and a leading JSON text block when captureHints / warnings are present.
  • Showcase Capture section: AppKitView on macOS (make showcase), HtmlElementView on web (flutter run -d chrome). Use make showcase-stop before a new macOS run.
  • Web (chrome / web / web-server): desktop_window uses macOS ScreenCaptureKit → Chrome CDP (Page.captureScreenshot) → flutter_layer. Global flags: --web-browser-debugging-port, --web-port. Opt-in live test: RUN_WEB_CDP_INTEGRATION=1 dart test test/web_cdp_integration_test.dart. See ADR 0007.
  • App-owned capture targets such as iOS/Android/Linux must have a reachable VM target selected before permissions or doctor can verify bridge-backed permission tools/resources. Use --target <ws_uri> or the global --vm-service-uri <ws_uri> when probing those platforms.
  • desktop_window never silently falls back. auto may fall back to flutter_layer, but responses always report requestedMode, actualMode, permissionStatus, and fallbackReason.

Troubleshooting:

  • If macOS capture is denied, rerun flutter-mcp-toolkit permissions status first. If status is still denied, open System Settings from the CLI and grant Screen Recording to the terminal or client process you are using.
  • If doctor --json shows visual_capture_truth_mode=flutter_layer on macOS, you are not getting native window pixels yet.
  • If web desktop_window fails, use flutter_layer or pass --web-browser-debugging-port from Chrome’s --remote-debugging-port. For web targets, pass --flutter-device chrome on validate-runtime. validate-runtime still retries flutter_layer after a failed desktop_window even when platform views are detected.
  • If post-reload capture fails once on macOS desktop-window mode, that is usually a host capture race rather than an app failure. validate-runtime retries those failures before returning red, and may also retry with flutter_layer after a failed desktop_window screenshot.

Failure matrix:

  • missing_mcp_toolkit_wiring: app did not expose the required toolkit extensions. Fix app bootstrap and hot restart.
  • bad_target_uri_or_unreachable_vm_service: explicit target URI is wrong or the VM service is not reachable.
  • permission_denied: host capture backend lacks permission.
  • host_capture_backend_instability: native capture backend flaked during desktop-window capture, usually around reload.

Migration (v2.x -> v3.0.0)

  • Error metadata moved under error.descriptor; do not parse legacy top-level fields.
  • Typed arguments are strict. String-encoded booleans/objects/lists/integers now fail validation.
  • For write-producing automation, run with --check --diff before actual writes.
  • Handle write_blocked explicitly when using --no-overwrite.
  • Add flutter-mcp-toolkit doctor --json as preflight before VM-dependent execution.

Machine Envelope

One-shot commands return one JSON envelope with stable fields:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {},
  "error": null,
  "meta": {
    "schemaVersion": "core-envelope/v1",
    "command": "status",
    "timestamp": "2026-03-03T00:00:00.000Z",
    "durationMs": 2
  }
}

Failures use one strict envelope in error: code, message, details, descriptor (category, retryable, exitCode, httpLikeStatus), recovery.

The full contract table is documented in docs/ai_agents/troubleshooting.mdx.

Daemon Protocol

serve runs JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio. Key methods:

  • requests: initialize, capabilities/get, schema/get, command/execute, watch/start, watch/stop, snapshot/create, snapshot/diff, bundle/create, session/start, session/end
  • notifications: watch/event, session/changed

Watch notifications are NDJSON JSON-RPC notifications with monotonic seq per watch.

Targeting contracts:

  • command/execute: optional params.args.connection
  • watch/start: optional params.args.connection (applied once before watch loop starts)
  • snapshot/create: per-step optional args.commands[i].args.connection

State + Locking

  • State root defaults to .flutter_mcp/
  • state file: .flutter_mcp/state.json
  • lock file: .flutter_mcp/state.lock
  • snapshots: .flutter_mcp/snapshots/
  • bundles: .flutter_mcp/bundles/

State operations use a lock with stale-lock TTL recovery to support concurrent agents safely.

Connection Resolution UX

The server keeps startup non-blocking and defers target lock until a VM-dependent call is executed.

Resolution policy for VM-dependent commands/resources:

  1. Reuse active connection if still healthy.
  2. Else reuse sticky target if it exists in current discovery results.
  3. Else auto-attach if exactly one target is discovered.
  4. Else fail with connection_selection_required when multiple targets exist and no explicit target is provided.

Selection-required errors are returned as structured JSON so agents can retry immediately:

{
  "code": "connection_selection_required",
  "message": "Multiple debug targets detected. Retry with URI connection.targetId.",
  "descriptor": {
    "category": "validation",
    "retryable": true,
    "exitCode": 64,
    "httpLikeStatus": 409
  },
  "details": {
    "reason": "multiple_targets",
    "availableTargets": [
      {
        "targetId": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws",
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 8181,
        "endpoint": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws",
        "isSticky": false,
        "isCurrent": false
      }
    ],
    "suggestedAction": "retry_with_connection_target",
    "example": {
      "connection": { "targetId": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws" }
    },
    "howToRetry": {
      "connection": { "targetId": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws" }
    }
  },
  "recovery": {
    "summary": "Select an explicit VM target and retry the command.",
    "fix_command": "flutter-mcp-toolkit exec --name discover_debug_apps --args '{}'"
  }
}

CLI one-shot and daemon calls use the same handshake semantics. For ambiguous multi-target sessions, retry with an explicit selector:

{
  "connection": { "targetId": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws" }
}

All VM-dependent MCP tools now accept optional arguments.connection:

{
  "connection": {
    "targetId": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws",
    "mode": "auto",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 8181,
    "uri": "ws://127.0.0.1:8181/<token>/ws",
    "forceReconnect": false
  }
}

Notes:

  • targetId is the preferred selector and must be full VM websocket URI.
  • Legacy host:port target IDs are rejected; use URI target IDs or connection.uri.
  • Safest selector is connection.uri with exact Flutter machine app.debugPort.wsUri.
  • If targetId lookup misses but URI is a full tokenized VM path (/<token>/ws), server attempts direct connect fallback.
  • CLI exec --args and daemon command/execute / watch/start accept the same optional nested connection object.
  • connect_debug_app accepts the same connection shape.
  • Dynamic registry tools (fmt_list_client_tools_and_resources, fmt_client_tool, fmt_client_resource) accept the same optional connection.
  • Resource reads also support query targeting: targetId, mode, host, port, uri, forceReconnect.
  • Flat top-level connection aliases like host/port/uri in tool arguments are intentionally rejected by strict schemas.
  • For connect and session_start, native selector args (mode, targetId, host, port, uri, force) cannot be mixed with nested connection.

Zero-mistake recipe:

  1. Read machine app.debugPort.wsUri.
  2. Use {"connection":{"uri":"<that exact wsUri>"}}.
  3. If using targetId, copy exactly from availableTargets / discover_debug_apps.

Flutter Web Discovery

Discovery order is:

  1. Flutter machine discovery (flutter attach --machine)
  2. Port-scan fallback

Both CLI and MCP server accept:

  • --flutter-project-dir
  • --flutter-device (for example chrome)
  • --flutter-discovery-timeout-ms
  • --scan-ports (for example 8765-8767,9100)
  • --prefer-target-label (for example staging)

The port scan recognizes dart/flutter processes. A desktop app hosts its VM service inside its own native process and an app started with --no-dds has no Dart process, so neither is found by name. Start such an app on a fixed VM service port (flutter run -d macos --device-vmservice-port=8765) and pass that port to the scanner with --scan-ports=8765.

When several debug apps run at once, let each name itself with MCPToolkitBinding.instance.setAppIdentity(label: 'my_app · staging'): discovery reports the label on every target, and --prefer-target-label lets auto-attach pick one without the caller naming an endpoint. The label narrows the candidates only at the auto-attach step, so an active connection and a target connected to explicitly still win; a value that matches no running app is ignored, so discovery keeps behaving as it would without it.

Manual fallback remains available:

  • CLI: --vm-service-uri ws://127.0.0.1:59490/<token>/ws
  • MCP tool/resource calls: arguments.connection.uri

Quick Start

For developers who want to contribute to the project or run the latest version directly from source, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter
    cd mcp_flutter
    
  2. Install and build dependencies:

    make install
    

    This command installs all necessary dependencies listed in pubspec.yaml and then builds the MCP server.

  3. Add mcp_toolkit Package to Your Flutter App:

    The mcp_toolkit package provides the necessary service extensions within your Flutter application. You need to add it to your app's pubspec.yaml.

    Run this command in your Flutter app's directory to add the mcp_toolkit package:

    flutter pub add mcp_toolkit
    

    or add it to your pubspec.yaml manually:

    dependencies:
      flutter:
        sdk: flutter
      # ... other dependencies
      mcp_toolkit: ^3.0.0
    

    Then run flutter pub get in your Flutter app's directory.

  4. Initialize in Your App: In your Flutter application's main.dart file (or equivalent entry point), initialize the bridge binding:

    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
    import 'package:mcp_toolkit/mcp_toolkit.dart'; // Import the package
    import 'dart:async';
    
    Future<void> main() async {
      runZonedGuarded(
        () async {
          WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
          MCPToolkitBinding.instance
             ..initialize() // Initializes the Toolkit
             ..initializeFlutterToolkit(); // Adds Flutter related methods to the MCP server
          runApp(const MyApp());
        },
        (error, stack) {
          // You can place it in your error handling tool, or directly in the zone. The most important thing is to have it - otherwise the errors will not be captured and MCP server will not return error results.
          MCPToolkitBinding.instance.handleZoneError(error, stack);
        },
      );
    }
    
    // ... rest of your app code
    
  5. Start your Flutter app in debug mode

    flutter run --debug --machine --host-vmservice-port=8181 -d macos
    

    Adjust -d for your device. Prefer the exact app.debugPort.wsUri from machine output in arguments.connection.uri or connection.targetId.

  6. 🛠️ Add Flutter MCP Toolkit to your AI client

    Recommended (skills + MCP config):

    flutter-mcp-toolkit init claude-code   # or: cursor | codex | cline | agents-skills
    

    Skills only via the open Agent Skills ecosystem:

    npx skills add Arenukvern/mcp_flutter -a cursor -y
    

    See docs/ai_agents/overview.mdx for install paths, lockfiles, and skills.sh.

    Manual mcpServers JSON (advanced — use if init is not an option):

    Use registry key flutter-mcp-toolkit under mcpServers (canonical). The key flutter-inspector is legacy but still accepted if your config predates the rename. That string is only a mcpServers id — it is not the Claude Code subagent name. The bundled runtime subagent is flutter-mcp-toolkit-runtime (plugin/agents/flutter-mcp-toolkit-runtime.md).

    Recommended server args: --resources, --images, --dynamics (defaults are on for resources/images; --dynamics enables the dynamic registry).

    Note for Local Development (GitHub Install):

    If you installed from GitHub and built locally, point command at mcp_server_dart/build/flutter-mcp-toolkit-server. See Installation from GitHub above.

    Cline Setup
    1. Add to your .cline/config.json:
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "flutter-mcp-toolkit": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/cloned/mcp_flutter/mcp_server_dart/build/flutter-mcp-toolkit-server",
            "args": [
              "--dart-vm-host=localhost",
              "--dart-vm-port=8181",
              "--resources",
              "--images",
              "--dynamics"
            ],
            "env": {},
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
          }
        }
      }
      
    2. Restart Cline
    3. The Flutter MCP toolkit tools will be available in your conversations
    4. Try: "Please get a screenshot of my app" (MCP tools use the fmt_ prefix, e.g. fmt_get_screenshots)
    Cursor Setup
    Badge

    Install the server (edit the path in Cursor after clicking):

    Install MCP Server

    Note: fix command path after installation.

    Manual Setup
    1. Open Cursor's settings

    2. Go to the Features tab

    3. Under "Model Context Protocol", add the server:

      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "flutter-mcp-toolkit": {
            "command": "/path/to/your/cloned/mcp_flutter/mcp_server_dart/build/flutter-mcp-toolkit-server",
            "args": [
              "--dart-vm-host=localhost",
              "--dart-vm-port=8181",
              "--resources",
              "--images",
              "--dynamics"
            ],
            "env": {},
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
          }
        }
      }
      
    4. Restart Cursor

    5. Open Agent Panel (cmd + L on macOS)

    6. Tool calls use fmt_* names on the MCP wire (e.g. fmt_capture_ui_snapshot).

Image File Saving Mode

When --save-images is enabled, the server will:

  • Save all captured screenshots as PNG files in a .mcp_screenshots folder in the current working directory
  • Return file URLs (file://) instead of base64 encoded image data
  • Automatically clean up screenshots older than 24 hours
  • Use timestamped filenames like screenshot-2025-01-27T10-30-15.123Z.png

This mode is useful when:

  • Working with AI tools that prefer file references over base64 data
  • Needing to persist screenshots for later analysis
  • Reducing memory usage by avoiding large base64 strings in responses

Basic Usage

  1. Start your Flutter app in debug mode:

    flutter run --debug --dart-vm-host=localhost --dart-vm-port=8181
    
  2. Run the MCP server:

    ./build/flutter-mcp-toolkit-server
