tip

After downloading your configuration files, replace the placeholder values with your actual secret keys to enable access to your tools.

What are their tasks?

Each task represents a core activity developers perform, grouped into categories:

Code development & refactoring: creating, editing, and restructuring code.
Version control & issue management: managing repositories, branches, issues, and pull requests.
Browser automation & UI testing: testing web applications and automating browser actions.
Database & file operations: running queries, handling schema changes, and managing files.
Observability & debugging: monitoring performance, analyzing logs, and fixing issues.

Each of these tasks maps to specific MCP servers and tools. By using tool groups, developers can load only the tools they need for the task at hand, improving efficiency and reducing noise.
