# AI development tools for Inngest

Use Inngest with AI coding agents, local MCP tools, CLI workflows, and LLM-ready documentation. These resources help agents write current Inngest code, connect to your running Dev Server, trigger test events, inspect runs, and debug durable functions in one loop.

**"Dev Server MCP"**: [Connect Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to your local Inngest Dev Server to list functions, send events, and inspect runs.]("/docs-markdown/ai-dev-tools/mcp?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools")

**"Agent Plugins and Skills"**: [Install Inngest plugins and portable skills so coding agents have current guidance for setup, durable functions, steps, flow control, realtime, and migrations.]("/docs/ai-dev-tools/agent-skills?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools")

**"CLI for Coding Agents"**: [Use the Inngest CLI from an agent session to start the Dev Server, trigger events, inspect runs, and keep local debugging grounded in real execution.]("/docs/ai-patterns/cli-for-coding-agents?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools")

**"LLM Docs"**: [Give AI tools compact or full-text documentation context with llms.txt and llms-full.txt.]("#llm-docs")

## How the tools fit together

- **Agent skills and plugins** teach your coding agent how to build with Inngest APIs and current patterns.
- **Dev Server MCP** lets your agent interact with your running local app by sending events, invoking functions, and inspecting run status.
- **The CLI** gives both you and your agent a terminal-first way to start local services and debug function runs.
- **LLM docs** provide crawlable markdown context for AI tools that need a compact table of contents or the full docs corpus.

For the best feedback loop, install the agent plugin or skills for your coding tool, start the Inngest Dev Server, and connect the tool to the [Dev Server MCP endpoint](/docs/ai-dev-tools/mcp?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools).

## LLM Docs

An LLM-friendly version of the Inngest docs is available in two formats:

- [inngest.com/llms.txt](https://www.inngest.com/llms.txt) - a table of contents for smaller context windows or tools that can crawl selected docs.
- [inngest.com/llms-full.txt](https://www.inngest.com/llms-full.txt) - the full docs in markdown format.

## Next steps

**"Local development"**: [Start the Dev Server and run Inngest functions locally with production-like execution semantics.]("/docs-markdown/local-development?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools")

**"TypeScript SDK v4"**: [Build with the latest TypeScript SDK, including checkpointing, realtime, middleware, and updated step APIs.]("/docs/reference/typescript/v4/intro?ref=docs-ai-dev-tools")
