fluxloop-mcp 0.1.1

Fluxloop MCP server providing repository analysis and documentation tools.

Fluxloop MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server providing AI-assisted integration guidance for Fluxloop SDK.

This package exposes tools for documentation Q&A, repository analysis, framework detection, and integration planning. It helps developers integrate Fluxloop into their projects by analyzing code structure and recommending appropriate setup steps.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• macOS or Linux (Windows users can use WSL2)
• Git (for local development)

Features

Implemented (M0-M2)

• FAQ Tool: RAG-based documentation search with citations from indexed Fluxloop guides
• Repository Analysis: Scans languages, package managers, entry points, LOC, and risk flags
• Framework Detection: Identifies Express, FastAPI, Next.js, NestJS with confidence scoring
• Integration Steps: Generates framework-specific checklists with package manager awareness
• Edit Plan Proposal: Creates structured edit plans with anchors, payload, post-checks, and rollback
• Plan Validation: Verifies file existence, anchor patterns, and duplicate code detection
• End-to-End Workflow: analyze → detect → steps → plan → validate pipeline in one call
• Multi-Mode Context APIs: fetch_integration_context, fetch_base_input_context, fetch_experiment_context, fetch_insight_context provide mode-specific payloads for the VS Code Flux Agent (Integration, Base Input, Experiment, Insight)

Indexing & Knowledge Base

• Document ingestion from docs/, packages/website/docs-{cli,sdk}, samples/
• Chunk-based storage (JSONL + SQLite metadata)
• BM25 + embedding hybrid retrieval (local FAISS or remote Qdrant)
• Recipe registry for framework-specific integration patterns

MCP Protocol

• stdio-based server with structured type: response/error format
• Handshake capability discovery
• Supports id-based request/response correlation

Installation

From Source (Development)

cd packages/mcp
pip install -e .

From PyPI (Planned)

pip install fluxloop-mcp

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install fluxloop-mcp

2. Build the Knowledge Index

# Default output: ~/.fluxloop/mcp/index/dev
packages/mcp/scripts/rebuild_index.sh

3. Test FAQ Query

python -m fluxloop_mcp.server --once --query "How to integrate FastAPI?"

4. Run as MCP Server (stdio)

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fluxloop": {
      "command": "fluxloop-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "MCP_VECTOR_BACKEND": "faiss",
        "MCP_INDEX_MODE": "bundled"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor/Claude Desktop. The MCP server will be available for queries.

5. Analyze a Repository

from fluxloop_mcp.tools import AnalyzeRepositoryTool, DetectFrameworksTool

profile = AnalyzeRepositoryTool().analyze({"root": "."})
print(profile)

frameworks = DetectFrameworksTool().detect({"repository_profile": profile})
print(frameworks)

6. Run Full Integration Workflow

from fluxloop_mcp.tools import RunIntegrationWorkflowTool

result = RunIntegrationWorkflowTool().run({"root": "."})
print(result.keys())  # profile, detection, integration_steps, edit_plan, validation

7. Local Development Environment

git clone https://github.com/chuckgu/fluxloop.git
cd fluxloop/packages/mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Available Tools

Tool	Description
handshake	Returns server name, version, and capabilities
faq	Searches indexed documentation and returns answer + citations
analyze_repository	Scans project structure, languages, package managers, entry points
detect_frameworks	Identifies frameworks with confidence scores and recommended patterns
generate_integration_steps	Creates framework-specific integration checklist
propose_edit_plan	Generates structured edit plan with anchors and validation
validate_edit_plan	Verifies plan structure and checks file/anchor existence
run_integration_workflow	Executes full pipeline from analysis to validated plan
fetch_integration_context	Returns repo profile + integration workflow payloads for VS Code planner
fetch_base_input_context	Packages base input samples/service settings + RAG topics
fetch_experiment_context	Summarizes past experiments, runner configs, simulation templates
fetch_insight_context	Collects evaluation reports and aggregated metrics for Insight mode

Multi-Mode Planner Support

Flux Agent in VS Code now selects between four modes:

Mode	MCP Tool	Data Provided
Integration	fetch_integration_context	Repository profile, integration workflow, structure context, RAG topics
Base Input	fetch_base_input_context	Existing inputs/ samples, setting.yaml preview, suggested RAG topics
Experiment	fetch_experiment_context	experiments/ summaries, runner configs, simulation templates
Insight	fetch_insight_context	Evaluation reports (summary.json, traces.jsonl) and aggregated success metrics

The VS Code extension uses these APIs alongside the local planner to route LLM prompts per mode. Run the regression suite to ensure MCP changes don’t break planners:

. .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pytest packages/mcp -k multi_mode_regression

Protocol (stdio)

Fluxloop MCP server follows the Model Context Protocol over standard input/output. Each message is a single JSON object terminated by a newline.

Message Envelope

Field	Description
type	"handshake", "request", "response", or "error"
id	Client-supplied identifier used to correlate requests and responses
tool	Name of the tool to invoke (request messages only)
params	JSON payload passed to the tool (request messages only)
result	Successful tool output (response messages only)
error	Error metadata (error messages only)

Handshake

Clients must initiate a handshake before sending tool requests.

{"type":"handshake","id":"1"}

Handshake response exposes server metadata and supported tools.

{
  "type": "response",
  "id": "1",
  "result": {
    "name": "fluxloop-mcp",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "capabilities": {
      "tools": [
        "handshake",
        "faq",
        "analyze_repository",
        "detect_frameworks",
        "generate_integration_steps",
        "propose_edit_plan",
        "validate_edit_plan",
        "run_integration_workflow"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Tool Invocation

Request payloads are validated against the tool schema. Successful responses return structured JSON in the result field.

{"type":"request","id":"42","tool":"faq","params":{"query":"How do I integrate FastAPI?"}}

{
  "type": "response",
  "id": "42",
  "result": {
    "answer": "- Install fluxloop SDK...\n- Configure `simulation.yaml`...",
    "citations": [
      {
        "path": "packages/website/docs-sdk/integration/fastapi.md",
        "section": "Installation"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Error Response

Errors maintain the same id and include a machine-readable code.

{
  "type": "error",
  "id": "42",
  "error": {
    "code": "tool_not_found",
    "message": "Unknown tool: faqz",
    "details": {"availableTools": ["faq","analyze_repository", "..."]}
  }
}

Clients should fall back to the next strategy or surface the error to users.

Configuration

Environment Variables

• MCP_VECTOR_BACKEND: faiss (default) | qdrant | none
• MCP_QDRANT_URL: Qdrant server URL (if using remote backend)
• MCP_QDRANT_API_KEY: Qdrant API key
• MCP_INDEX_MODE: bundled | download | remote
• MCP_INDEX_PATH: Custom index directory (default: ~/.fluxloop/mcp/index/dev)
• MCP_AUTO_UPDATE: true to allow automatic index download when newer releases are detected
