+title: "Tooling"
+---
+
+Apache Camel ships with a rich set of built-in developer tools and is supported by a growing ecosystem of third-party tooling. Whether you prefer the command line, an IDE, a visual editor, or AI-assisted development — there is tooling to help you build, test, debug, and manage your Camel integrations.
+
+## Camel CLI
+
+The Camel CLI, powered by [JBang](https://www.jbang.dev/), lets you get started with Camel instantly — no project setup, no build tool configuration. Install it once, then use the `camel` command to develop, run, test, and export your integrations.
+
+{{< table >}}
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+|`camel run`|Run Camel routes from source files (Java, YAML, XML, etc.) with automatic classpath management|
+|`camel dev`|Run in developer mode with hot-reload — changes are picked up automatically without restarting|
+|`camel trace`|Live message tracing, step by step through your routes to see how messages are processed|
+|`camel send`|Send test messages to running Camel routes for quick testing and debugging|
+|`camel test`|Run tests for your Camel routes|
+|`camel export`|Export your Camel project to Spring Boot, Quarkus, or standalone Java for production deployment|
+{{< /table >}}
+
+See the [Camel CLI documentation](/manual/camel-jbang.html) for installation instructions and detailed usage.
+
+### Camel TUI
+
+The `camel tui` command launches a full terminal-based UI that provides fast, real-time feedback during development — a natural fit for CLI-first and AI-assisted workflows. It gives you route status, message flow, and tracing all in a single terminal view, so you can stay in the flow without switching tools. Ideal for low-code and AI-assisted development where quick iteration matters.
+
+## Camel MCP Server
+
+The [Camel MCP Server](https://github.com/apache/camel-mcp-server) connects Apache Camel to AI coding assistants through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). It gives AI tools access to Camel's component catalog, DSL documentation, and integration patterns — so they can help you write, debug, and optimize Camel routes with full context.
+
+Supported AI tools include Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible assistant.
+
+## AI-Assisted Development
+
+{{< table >}}
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+|[Camel Kit](https://github.com/luigidemasi/camel-kit)|A set of structured slash commands for AI coding assistants that guide you through the complete integration lifecycle — from design and planning to implementation and verification. Supports Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and more.|

Goals: `camel:run` (run routes), `camel:dev` (developer mode with hot-reload), `camel:debug` (debug mode for textual route debugging), `camel:prepare-fatjar` (prepare for fat-jar packaging).|
+|[Camel Report Maven Plugin](/manual/camel-report-maven-plugin.html)|Validates source code for invalid Camel endpoint URIs, Simple expressions, duplicate route IDs, and generates route coverage reports after unit testing.|
+|[Camel YAML DSL Validator Maven Plugin](/manual/camel-yaml-dsl-validator-maven-plugin.html)|Validates YAML DSL route files for syntax errors according to the spec, without needing to run Camel.|
+|[Camel Component Maven Plugin](/manual/camel-component-maven-plugin.html)|Assists third-party component developers in generating all necessary metadata and configuration Java classes for custom Camel components.|
+|[Camel REST DSL OpenAPI Plugin](/manual/rest-dsl-openapi.html)|Generates REST DSL routes and DTOs from OpenAPI v3 specification files for a contract-first approach.|
