Pro
The free tier makes Strapi magic strings understandable. Pro lets DevKit change them for you — safely, across your whole project, in your editor and through your AI agent.
What’s in Pro
Section titled “What’s in Pro”- Propagated rename — rename an entity or a method and DevKit updates every
call-site and route handler, renames the file/folder, and repoints relation
targets. No grep-and-pray. - Move / extract-to-plugin (via your AI agent) — relocate an artifact or a whole content-type resource across namespaces; scaffold a new local plugin and extract into it in one reviewable plan.
- Schema edits (via your AI agent) — retarget a relation, rename an attribute
(and rewrite its
populate/filtersusages). - Safe apply — every change is a contractual plan, applied by an executor that is root-confined (symlink-resolved), refuses silent overwrites, verifies content fingerprints before writing (anti-TOCTOU), is best-effort transactional, and self-verifies for broken references afterward.
Pricing & licence
Section titled “Pricing & licence”€39.99 one-time — a perpetual licence plus one year of updates, per developer. One key unlocks both the editor (rename) and the MCP refactor tools.
Secure checkout via Polar · your licence key arrives by email · also on the pricing section of the landing page.
The licence is verified online, then cached so it keeps working offline — it re-checks periodically (about weekly when online) and tolerates being offline for up to ~30 days. No telemetry, no code leaving your machine.
Not for you? 14-day money-back, no questions asked — just email pro@paulrichez.fr.
Activating your licence
Section titled “Activating your licence”One key unlocks both surfaces — your editor and your AI agent.
In your editor (VS Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Antigravity)
Section titled “In your editor (VS Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Antigravity)”- Open the Command Palette —
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P. - Run DevKit for Strapi: Enter License Key.
- Paste the key from your Polar receipt email.
To remove or replace a key later, run DevKit for Strapi: Clear License Key.
The key is stored in your editor’s secret storage (the OS keychain) — never in
settings.json, so it can’t leak into Git or Settings Sync. This unlocks the editor
refactors and the bundled MCP server’s Pro tools at once: the extension forwards
the key to the MCP server it spawns.
For your AI agent (standalone MCP)
Section titled “For your AI agent (standalone MCP)”If you run the devkit-for-strapi-mcp server yourself (an agent outside the
extension), set the DEVKIT_LICENSE_KEY environment variable in its env block:
{ "mcpServers": { "devkit-for-strapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "devkit-for-strapi-mcp", "/absolute/path/to/your/strapi-project"], "env": { "DEVKIT_LICENSE_KEY": "polar_xxx" } } }}Keep this file out of Git — the key is a secret.
Without a licence — nothing breaks
Section titled “Without a licence — nothing breaks”Every free tool keeps working. The Pro tools stay visible to your agent, but
calling one (a plan_* refactor or apply_*) returns a short “Pro required”
result — the feature, where to buy a licence, and how to activate it — so your agent
can relay it to you instead of failing silently. Both the refactor plan and its
apply are Pro, so an agent can’t sidestep the licence by applying a free plan with
its own tools.
