The minimum a JavaScript-shop coding agent needs to ship: GitHub for source, Upstash's Context7 with current docs for over 4,000 libraries, and Vercel Labs' agent-browser CLI (32,056 stars) so the agent can verify its UI work in a real Chrome.
Five tools purpose-built for Next.js development: GitHub for source, Vercel for deploys, the Next.js DevTools MCP for live dev server introspection, Context7 for current docs, and agent-browser to verify UI changes in a real Chrome.
Seven MCPs plus Vercel's agent-browser CLI for the everyday work of running a Next.js SaaS — source, database, payments, deploys, product analytics, live dev server introspection, current docs, and a real browser for verification.
Four MCPs for the "what just broke in production" loop: Sentry for stack traces and release metadata, PostHog for session replays and error tracking, GitHub for the offending commit, and Vercel for the failing build and runtime logs. Goes from alert to root cause without dashboard hopping.
