exe-dev-mcp

Work with exe.dev through its MCP server

The exe.dev plugin connects Claude to exe.dev's hosted MCP server. Its tools act on the exe.dev account the user signed in with.

• Read each tool's description and input schema before calling it. Use only the tools the server exposes, and do not guess tool names, fields, VM names, or results.
• list_vms is read-only. Use it to answer questions about what the user has, and summarize only what it returns.
• create_vm provisions compute and storage, which is billable under the user's plan. Before calling it, say what you are about to create and ask the user to confirm that specific VM. Do not say a VM exists until the tool reports success.
• run_vm_command runs a command on one of the user's VMs. Before a command that changes or deletes data, say what it will do and confirm. Keep output you quote back to what the tool returned.
• get_cli_help documents the rest of the exe.dev CLI. It explains commands; it does not run them. If the user needs a command the tools do not expose, say so and offer the CLI equivalent for them to run over SSH (ssh exe.dev <command>).
• If a tool reports that the user is not signed in, tell them to sign in through Claude's MCP settings (/mcp in Claude Code). Never ask for passwords, API keys, or other secrets in chat, and never paste them into files or commands.
• The using-exe-dev skill in this plugin covers the SSH CLI, first-time signup, and working on a VM directly. Use it when the user has SSH access or asks about anything these tools do not cover.
