feat(mcp): initial implementation — MCP server, framework indexer, 10 tools, 8 validation rules (v0.1.0)
Introduces code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/mcp — the Einherjar Model Context Protocol
server. A remote, streamable-HTTP service that teaches AI assistants about every
other module of the framework: which package exposes which type, what each module
guarantees through its compliance tests, the canonical wiring shape for a service,
and whether a Go snippet follows the conventions. Indexes the framework on disk at
build time and ships a self-contained binary via go:embed; imports nothing from
other einherjar/* modules at compile time.
server (cmd/server):
- Streamable-HTTP MCP server built on github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk v1.0.0
- mcp.NewServer + mcp.NewStreamableHTTPHandler, served via net/http on EINHERJAR_MCP_ADDR
(default :8080) and EINHERJAR_MCP_PATH (default /mcp)
- /healthz liveness endpoint; structured JSON logging via log/slog
- Loads the embedded data/index.json once at startup; in-memory for the process lifetime
indexer (cmd/indexer):
- Walks an Einherjar repository checkout (default ../), parses every sibling
module's go.mod, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/adr/ADR-*.md, doc.go package
comments, every exported type/interface/func/method/const/var (via go/doc on
go/parser ASTs), and compliance_test.go
- Captures module dependency edges by regex over each go.mod's require lines
(einherjar/* paths only; self-reference filtered)
- Appends a synthetic "wire" module documenting canonical application wiring
conventions, authored at internal/index/builtins/README.md and embedded via
go:embed; participates in list_modules / get_module / get_example like a real module
internal/index:
- Schema einherjar.mcp/index/v1; types: Index, Module, SubPackage, Symbol, ADR,
Example, Compliance, InterfaceAssert, ComplianceTest
- Build(repoRoot) → *Index walks the repo; BuildBuiltins() returns the synthetic
wire module from the embedded markdown
- Load([]byte) → *Index validates the schema version on read
- FindModule, SearchSymbols helpers used by tools
internal/tools (10 tools):
- list_modules — enumerate every module with purpose + sub-packages
- get_module — package doc, dependencies, sub-packages, key symbols, ADRs,
compliance counts; optional embedded README
- search_symbols — full-text across name, doc, sub-package, module; filterable by
module and kind
- get_symbol — full signature, doc comment, source file:line for one symbol
- list_adrs — list ADRs across the framework or within one module
- get_adr — fetch one ADR's markdown body
- get_example — canonical usage snippets extracted from module READMEs and from
the synthetic wire conventions
- get_compliance — interface assertions (var _ Iface = impl) and structural test
names from a module's compliance_test.go
- get_changelog — full CHANGELOG.md markdown for one module
- validate_snippet — pattern-match a Go snippet against framework conventions
internal/rules (8 rules, registered via init() against a single registered slice):
- launcher.missing-run — launcher constructed but Run() never called
- launcher.no-components — launcher.New() called without any .Append(...)
- launcher.run-error-discarded — lc.Run() invoked as an ExprStmt (return ignored)
- logz.direct-env-read — os.Getenv("EINHERJAR_LOG_*") bypassing logz config
- web.server-not-appended — web/server constructed but not added to the launcher
- wire.hook-bad-signature — with<Feature>(...) first param is not launcher.Launcher
- wire.hook-outside-beforestart — repo/service/handler construction or route
registration at the top level of a hook (outside lc.BeforeStart)
- wire.route-specific-after-param — /users/{id} registered before a sibling
/users/me of the same length and method (chi would shadow the literal route)
Synthetic wire module (internal/index/builtins/README.md):
- Project layout (cmd/<app>/main.go + internal/wire/*.go + per-feature domain dirs)
- Canonical Run() shape: config → logger → infra (db, cache, pool, mc, srv) → cross-
cutting (validator, permission provider) → launcher.New → lc.Append(infra...) →
withMigrations / withSuperAdminSeed / withHealth / withFeature hooks → return lc.Run()
- Canonical with<Feature> hook shape: signature (launcher.Launcher first, server.Server
second, deps last), single lc.BeforeStart closure containing all construction +
route registration
- chi route ordering, srv.With(authz(...)) authorization, middleware helpers
(authz / skipPublicPaths / skipMethodPath), tokenSignerAdapter pattern showing
that the framework exposes Signer.Sign as a primitive and the application owns
the access/refresh response shape
Packaging:
- Multi-stage Dockerfile that builds from the einherjar repository root
(docker build -f mcp/Dockerfile .) so cmd/indexer can walk every sibling module
at image-build time; runtime layer is gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot
- 86-byte placeholder data/index.json committed once with `git add -f`; subsequent
indexer runs overwrite it locally but the file is .gitignored
- .gitea/CODEOWNERS and pull_request_template.md mirror the sibling layout
Design notes:
- mcp depends on nothing in einherjar/* — it reads the framework via the filesystem
at index time. This keeps mcp outside the framework dependency graph and lets it
index any version of einherjar without versioning itself in lock-step.
- All structured-output tool responses initialise empty slices ([]Type{}) rather
than relying on Go's nil-marshals-to-null default, so the SDK's JSON-schema
output validator never rejects a tools/call result.

feat(mcp): index struct fields and interface method sets
Minor release. The indexer named composite types but could not describe
their shape: every declaration was truncated at the first brace, so a
struct symbol carried only its `type X struct` header and an interface
symbol only its `type X interface` header. Field names, field types, and
— most painfully — struct tags such as `env:"EINHERJAR_PG_HOST"` were
dropped, as were the method sets of every port interface. An assistant
could be told that `db-postgres` has a `Config` and a `Provider`, but not
what env vars configure the one or what methods the other requires. This
change captures both.
internal/index (schema):
- Symbol gains two optional fields. `fields` ([]Field) carries a struct's
field set — name, type, raw struct tag (surrounding backticks stripped),
doc comment, and an `embedded` marker. `methods` ([]Method) carries an
interface's method set — name, signature without the leading `func`, and
doc comment, including embedded interfaces. Both are omitempty and absent
for every other kind.
- SchemaVersion is deliberately unchanged. The two additions are additive
and omitempty, so an older consumer parses the new index unchanged; per
the existing rule the constant only bumps on a breaking format change.
internal/index (builder):
- collectSymbols now inspects each type's TypeSpec and, for a *ast.StructType
or *ast.InterfaceType, fills the new Symbol members. A grouped field
declaration (`x, y int`) yields one Field per name; an embedded field or
interface yields an entry with an empty name.
- New helpers: typeSpecType (underlying type expr of a lone type spec),
extractFields, extractIfaceMethods, fieldDoc (doc comment or trailing
line comment), and nodeString — a non-truncating printer used for field
types, tags, and method signatures, distinct from formatNode which keeps
truncating to produce the one-line header.
internal/index (search):
- matches() now also tests the query against struct field names, field
types, and struct tags, and against interface method names and
signatures. A query like an env-var key or a method name now resolves to
the type that declares it.
internal/tools:
- get_symbol and search_symbols descriptions updated to advertise the new
struct-field and interface-method coverage. No input/output schema change
beyond the additive Symbol fields, which get_symbol already returns whole.
internal/index (tests):
- New builder_test.go — the package previously had no tests. Builds a
temporary module fixture and asserts capture of struct fields (with tags
and docs), embedded fields, interface methods (with signatures and docs),
embedded interfaces, and discovery of a struct by one of its struct tags
(the failure mode that motivated the change).
Docs:
- CHANGELOG.md gains an [Unreleased] entry; README.md tool table updated to
state that get_symbol returns struct fields and interface methods and
that search_symbols matches fields, tags, and methods.
No new dependencies. The committed data/index.json placeholder is untouched
— the index is regenerated at image build (Dockerfile runs cmd/indexer),
so a deployment must be rebuilt to serve the richer index; a server still
running the prior image keeps serving the older, member-less one.

Description : "Fetch full signature, doc comment, and source location for one symbol. For a struct type the result includes its fields (name, type, struct tag, doc); for an interface type it includes its method set. Returns every match across sub-packages — use the subPackage filter when ambiguous." ,
