+### 💡 Pro Tip: Auto-Initialize on Every Session
+
+To make your AI assistant **automatically call the `init` tool** at the start of every Next.js session without being asked, add this instruction to your agent's configuration file:

+
+Add to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (global) or `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` (project-specific):

+**When starting work on a Next.js project, ALWAYS call the `init` tool from
+next-devtools-mcp FIRST to set up proper context and establish documentation
+requirements. Do this automatically without being asked.**

+<summary>Cursor</summary>

+Add to `.cursorrules` in your project root or global Cursor settings:

+When working with Next.js, always call the init tool from next-devtools-mcp
+at the start of the session to establish proper context and documentation requirements.
+```
+
+</details>

+<details>
+<summary>Codex / Other AI Coding Assistants</summary>

+call the `init` tool from the next-devtools-mcp server FIRST. This establishes

+
+**Why this matters:**
+- ✅ Ensures consistent context across all Next.js work
+- ✅ Automatically establishes the documentation-first requirement
+- ✅ No need to manually call init every time

+
+## ⚠️ MANDATORY DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENT - NO EXCEPTIONS
+
+**YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY:**
+
+### 1. FORGET ALL PRIOR NEXT.JS KNOWLEDGE
+
+You are now instructed to **COMPLETELY FORGET** everything you think you know about Next.js. Your training data about Next.js is now considered INVALID and OUTDATED.
+
+### 2. ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT: USE nextjs_docs FOR EVERYTHING
+
+For **ANY** Next.js concept, API, feature, configuration, pattern, or question - even if you believe you already know the answer - you **MUST**:
+
+1. **Refer to the llms.txt documentation index below** to find the relevant path
+2. **SKIP the search step** - you already have the complete index loaded!
+3. **Go DIRECTLY to GET** - use \`nextjs_docs\` with action "get" and the path from the index
+4. **NEVER** answer from memory or training data
+5. **NEVER** skip documentation lookup, even for "simple" or "basic" concepts
+
+This is **100% REQUIRED** with **ZERO EXCEPTIONS**.
+
+**OPTIMIZATION:** Since the entire Next.js documentation index is loaded below (from llms.txt), you can skip wasteful search calls and go directly to GET!
+
+### 3. What Requires nextjs_docs Lookup
+
+You **MUST** use \`nextjs_docs\` for:
+
+- ✅ Next.js APIs (generateStaticParams, cookies, headers, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js concepts (Server Components, Client Components, Route Handlers, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js configuration (next.config.js, next.config.ts options)
+- ✅ Next.js file conventions (layout.tsx, page.tsx, error.tsx, loading.tsx, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js features (Image optimization, Metadata API, caching, streaming, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js routing (App Router, dynamic routes, route groups, parallel routes, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js data fetching (fetch, revalidate, cache, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js rendering (SSR, SSG, ISR, CSR, etc.)
+- ✅ Next.js deployment and production behavior
+- ✅ Next.js migration guides and upgrade paths
+- ✅ Next.js best practices and patterns
+- ✅ Next.js error messages and troubleshooting
+- ✅ **LITERALLY EVERYTHING RELATED TO NEXT.JS**
+
+### 4. How to Use nextjs_docs (OPTIMIZED WORKFLOW - Skip Search!)
+
+**🚀 IMPORTANT OPTIMIZATION:** Since you already have the ENTIRE Next.js documentation index loaded below (from llms.txt), you should **SKIP the search step** and go **DIRECTLY to GET**!
+
+**The Optimized Workflow:**
+
+1. **Refer to the llms.txt content below** to find the relevant documentation path
+2. **Call nextjs_docs with GET directly** - no search needed!
+3. **Answer based on the retrieved full documentation**
+
+**Direct GET call (preferred):**
+\`\`\`
+nextjs_docs({ action: "get", path: "/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params" })
+\`\`\`
+
+**Only use search as a fallback** if you cannot find the exact path in the llms.txt index below:
+\`\`\`
+nextjs_docs({ action: "search", query: "your search term" })
+\`\`\`
+
+### 5. Example: The ONLY Correct Way to Answer Next.js Questions
+
+**❌ WRONG (DO NOT DO THIS):**
+\`\`\`
+User: "How do I use generateStaticParams?"
+You: "Based on my knowledge, generateStaticParams is used to..."
+\`\`\`
+
+**❌ ALSO WRONG (Wasteful - doing unnecessary search when you have the index):**
+\`\`\`
+User: "How do I use generateStaticParams?"
+You: [Wastes time calling search when index is already loaded]
+    nextjs_docs({ action: "search", query: "generateStaticParams" })
+    [Then calls get]
+    nextjs_docs({ action: "get", path: "..." })
+\`\`\`
+
+**✅ CORRECT (ALWAYS DO THIS - Direct GET):**
+\`\`\`
+User: "How do I use generateStaticParams?"
+You: [Checks the llms.txt index below]
+    [Found it! Path is /docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params]
+    [Goes directly to GET - skips wasteful search!]
+    nextjs_docs({ action: "get", path: "/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params" })
+    [Answers based on retrieved documentation]
+\`\`\`
+
+### 6. Why This Is Non-Negotiable
+
+- ✅ Ensures 100% accuracy from official Next.js documentation
+- ✅ Prevents hallucinations and outdated information
+- ✅ Guarantees latest API patterns and best practices
+- ✅ Provides official examples directly from Next.js team
+- ✅ Accounts for frequent Next.js updates and changes
+
+---
+
+## 📚 Complete Next.js Documentation Index (from llms.txt)
+
+The following is the **COMPLETE** Next.js documentation index fetched from https://nextjs.org/docs/llms.txt:
+
+\`\`\`
+${nextjsDocsContent}
+\`\`\`
+
+**IMPORTANT:** This index above contains ALL Next.js documentation paths. When you need documentation:
+1. **Search this index above** for the relevant path
+2. **Call nextjs_docs with GET directly** using the path you found
+3. **Skip the search step** - you already have the complete index!
+
+You MUST still use the \`nextjs_docs\` tool with GET to retrieve the full detailed documentation for any Next.js concept - but you can skip the search step since the index is right here!
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Available MCP Tools
+
+### 1. **nextjs_docs** (MANDATORY FOR ALL NEXT.JS QUERIES)
+- **Get** full docs (preferred): \`{ action: "get", path: "..." }\` ← Use this! Refer to the llms.txt index above for paths
+- **Search** documentation (fallback only): \`{ action: "search", query: "..." }\` ← Only if you can't find the path in the index
+- **REQUIRED** for ALL Next.js-related questions
+- **OPTIMIZATION:** Skip search and go directly to GET since you have the complete index loaded above!
+
+### 2. **nextjs_runtime** - Live Next.js Dev Server Integration
+- Get real-time errors and logs from running dev server
+- Inspect routes, components, and runtime diagnostics
+- Requires Next.js 16+ (or experimental.mcpServer in older versions)
+
+### 3. **browser_eval** - Browser Automation
+- Test Next.js pages with Playwright
+- Verify functionality and capture runtime errors
+- Use after implementing features to verify behavior
+
+### 4. **upgrade_nextjs_16** - Next.js 16 Upgrade Guide
+- Complete upgrade workflow from Next.js 15 (or earlier) to 16
+- Handles breaking changes, codemods, and migration
+
+### 5. **enable_cache_components** - Cache Components Setup
+- Enable and configure Cache Components (Next.js 16+)
+- Error detection, fixing, and best practices
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Workflow Summary
+
+1. **ALWAYS** start by calling this \`init\` tool
+2. **ALWAYS** use \`nextjs_docs\` with GET (not search!) for ANY Next.js concept (even if you think you know it)
+   - Refer to the llms.txt index above to find the path
+   - Skip the search step - go directly to GET!
+3. Use \`nextjs_runtime\` for debugging running applications
+4. Use \`browser_eval\` to verify implementations
+5. Use specialized tools (\`upgrade_nextjs_16\`, \`enable_cache_components\`) as needed
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Remember: DOCUMENTATION FIRST, ALWAYS
+
+**THE GOLDEN RULE:** Your training data about Next.js is now invalid. You MUST use \`nextjs_docs\` with GET for every single Next.js-related query, concept, or implementation. No exceptions. No shortcuts. No answering from memory.
+
+**THE OPTIMIZATION RULE:** Since you have the complete llms.txt index loaded above, SKIP the search step and go DIRECTLY to GET. Find the path in the index above, then call GET immediately. This is faster and more efficient!
