BootUI

BootUI adds an embedded, local-only developer console to your application. It runs on Spring Boot 4 (servlet or
WebFlux) and Quarkus, serving the same Vue UI and REST contract (/bootui and /bootui/api/** by default,
configurable with bootui.path / bootui.api-path) from a shared,
framework-neutral engine — add the matching Spring Boot starter or the Quarkus extension and BootUI activates only in
local development.

Use with AI agents

BootUI exposes a local, opt-in Model Context Protocol server so AI coding agents
(GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, …) can run its advisors and read runtime diagnostics while fixing your code. Install the
agent skill with gh skill install jdubois/boot-ui bootui, or, in Claude Code, add this repository as a plugin
marketplace with /plugin marketplace add jdubois/boot-ui to get the skill and the MCP server in one step. It also pairs
with Coffilot, a GitHub Copilot canvas extension that builds, runs, and scans your
app from the GitHub Copilot App's side panel. See the AI agents guide.

Use from a terminal

The bootui CLI asks a running application one question and prints the answer, with one command per BootUI
diagnostic — the same set the MCP server exposes, projected mechanically from the same registry.

curl -fsSL https://www.julien-dubois.com/boot-ui/install.sh | sh

bootui beans --query dataSource
bootui hibernate scan --json | jq '.findings[]'

It needs no MCP client and no agent, prints exact JSON when piped, and exits 2 when a panel's own policy
declines the call, so CI can branch on it. Windows has a PowerShell installer, and JBang works too — see the
command-line guide.
