MCP Toolkit for Flutter #

This package is a core component of the mcp_flutter project. It acts as the "client-side" library within your Flutter application, enabling the Model Context Protocol (MCP) MCP Server to perform Flutter-specific operations like retrieving application errors, capturing screenshots, and getting view details.

Data Transparency #

This package is designed to be transparent and easy to understand. It is built on top of the Dart VM Service Protocol, which is a public protocol for interacting with the Dart VM. You can override any method to protect sensitive data by writing your own implementation of the MCPToolkitListeners class.

That way, you need to pass your implementation of the MCPToolkitListeners class to the MCPToolkitBinding.instance.initialize() method:

MCPToolkitBinding.instance.initialize(
  listeners: MyMCPToolkitListeners(),
);

Features #

• VM Service Extensions: Registers a set of custom VM service extensions (e.g., ext.mcp.toolkit.app_errors, ext.mcp.toolkit.view_screenshots, ext.mcp.toolkit.view_details).
• Error Reporting: Captures and makes available runtime errors from the Flutter application.
• Screenshot Capability: Allows external tools to request screenshots of the application's views.
• Application Details: Provides a mechanism to fetch basic details about the application's views.

Integration #

1. Add as a Dependency: Add mcp_toolkit to your Flutter project's pubspec.yaml file.

   If you have the mcp_flutter repository cloned locally, you can use a path dependency:

   dev_dependencies:
     # ... other dev_dependencies
     mcp_toolkit: ^0.1.0
   

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

2. 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) {
         // Optionally, you can also use the bridge's error handling for zone errors
         MCPToolkitBinding.instance.handleZoneError(error, stack);
       },
     );
   }
   
   // ... rest of your app code
