drupal-scout

The drupal-scout server is a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool designed specifically for Drupal development and site maintenance. With its capabilities, you can discover modules, check for updates, monitor site health, export data, and receive AI-powered recommendations—all directly from your integrated development environment (IDE). This functionality helps streamline your workflow and ensures that your Drupal site remains optimized and up-to-date.

Once connected to the drupal-scout server, you can interact with it by sending various queries related to your Drupal project. You can issue commands to check for module updates, assess site health, or export configuration data. For example, querying for the latest modules or health status can provide you with real-time insights and suggestions tailored to your specific site needs. Ensure that you format your commands according to the server’s expected input for the best results.

To install the drupal-scout server, you should first ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Node.js installed on your machine
• A compatible IDE that supports MCP integration

Option A: Quick start with npx

If you prefer a quick and easy setup, you can use the following command:

npx -y drupal-scout

Option B: Global install alternative

For a global installation, use the following command:

npm install -g drupal-scout

After installation, you can run drupal-scout from your terminal or IDE.

When configuring drupal-scout, make sure to set the appropriate environment variables for your Drupal site such as the database connection and site URL. Common issues include incorrect paths or permissions that may prevent the server from accessing necessary files. Always verify your configuration settings before running commands to avoid interruptions.
