Documentation Overview

m-dev-tools-mcp

MCP server for the m-dev-tools org catalog. Exposes three first-class agent tools:

route_intent(query) — plain-English intent → typed IDs (e.g. "parse JSON in M" → module:m-stdlib#STDJSON)
describe(typed_id) — typed ID → pointer-blob (manifest URL, AGENTS.md URL, verification commands, …)
verify(repo) — list a repo's declared verification commands (does not execute them)

The server reads the catalog at https://github.com/m-dev-tools/.github over the network at call time; it is a thin wrapper, not a cache. See AGENTS.md for the contract and the AI users guide for the full walk-through.

make install        # creates .venv and installs editable + dev deps
make test           # pytest
make check          # lint + mypy + test + check-manifest + check-agents
make build          # → wheel-out/m_dev_tools_mcp-<ver>-py3-none-any.whl
