Darwin Standards MCP Server

MCP server providing standards documentation and validation tools for the Darwin platform.

Overview

The Standards MCP Server is designed to:

1. Expose standards as MCP resources - Agents can read platform standards via standard URIs
2. Provide validation tools - Validate naming conventions, tool definitions, and agent cards
3. Enable standards search - Find relevant standards documentation quickly

Note: This is an MCP Server, not a true Agent. It provides tools and resources but does not contain an LLM and does not make autonomous decisions.

Quick Start

Option 1: Docker (Recommended for local development)

# Build and run
make build
make run

# Or with docker directly
docker build -t standards-mcp-server .
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/standards:/app/standards:ro \
  -e MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
  standards-mcp-server

Option 2: Local Installation

# Create virtual environment and install
make install

# Run locally (stdio mode)
make run-local

# Run locally (HTTP mode)
make run-http

Option 3: Claude Code Integration

# Using Python module directly
claude mcp add --transport stdio \
  --env STANDARDS_PATH=/path/to/docs/standards \
  standards -- python -m standards_mcp_server.server

# Using container
claude mcp add --transport stdio standards -- \
  docker run --rm -i \
  -v /path/to/docs/standards:/app/standards:ro \
  -e MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio \

Deployment

Deploy to AKS

# Using make
make deploy

# Using script
./scripts/deploy-to-aks.sh

Manual Deployment

# Get AKS credentials
az aks get-credentials --resource-group rg-fgsan-shared-dev-eus --name fgsan-shared-aks-dev-eus

# Apply manifests
kubectl apply -k .k8s/overlays/dev

# Verify
kubectl get pods -n darwin-mcp -l app=standards-mcp-server

See DEPLOYMENT.md for detailed deployment instructions.

CI/CD

The repository includes GitHub Actions workflows for:

• lint-and-test.yml - Runs on PRs: linting, testing, type checking
• build-and-push.yml - Runs on push to main: builds and pushes Docker image to ACR
• deploy-to-aks.yml - Runs after build: deploys to AKS
• release.yml - Runs on version tags: creates GitHub releases
