indifferentketchup 5692e99a5d v1.14.1-mcp-poc: single-server MCP client against Context7
Validates the MCP-client loop end-to-end against one real MCP server before
the full v1.15 port. New services/mcp-client.ts wraps @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
v1.29.0 with Streamable HTTP transport. On startup (when MCP_CONTEXT7_URL is
set), connects to Context7, discovers tools via tools/list, wraps each as a
ToolDef prefixed context7_<name>, and appends to ALL_TOOLS via appendMcpTools.

Read-only invariant guard rejects any tool with readOnlyHint: false. Tool
dispatch is transparent — executeToolCall routes MCP calls through the ToolDef
execute wrapper, which strips the prefix before calling the MCP server. Result
size capped at 5MB with truncation. Graceful degradation: server down at
startup → zero tools; server down mid-session → error result, model
self-corrects.

Adversarial review caught that a Zod .default() on the URL config made MCP
always-on instead of opt-in — fixed by removing the default. MCP_CONTEXT7_URL
must be explicitly set to enable.

ALL_TOOLS changed from ReadonlyArray to mutable to support late-registration.
appendMcpTools re-sorts and rebuilds TOOLS_BY_NAME after append.

348/348 server tests passing (16 new mcp-client tests). No schema changes,
no frontend changes.

# v1.14.1-mcp-poc tasks
## B1 — Backups
- [ ] `apps/server/src/services/tools.ts`
- [ ] `apps/server/src/config.ts`
- [ ] `apps/server/src/index.ts`
## B2 — Install `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/server add @modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
- [ ] Verify `pnpm -C apps/server build` still works after install
- [ ] Note the installed version
## B3 — Config extension
- [ ] `apps/server/src/config.ts` — add `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` (string, optional, default `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp`)
- [ ] `apps/server/src/config.ts` — add `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY` (string, optional)
- [ ] Both via Zod `.optional()` with `.default()` for the URL
## B4 — MCP client service
- [ ] NEW `apps/server/src/services/mcp-client.ts`
- [ ] Import `Client`, `StreamableHTTPClientTransport` from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client`
- [ ] `initialize(config, log)` — connect to Context7, call `tools/list`, wrap each as ToolDef, apply read-only guard
- [ ] `callTool(name, args)` — call MCP server `tools/call`, extract text content, return as string
- [ ] `getTools()` — return wrapped ToolDef[]
- [ ] `isInitialized()` — boolean
- [ ] Read-only guard: skip tools with `annotations?.readOnly === false`; accept all others
- [ ] Graceful degradation: catch connection errors, log warning, expose zero tools
- [ ] Tool name prefixing: `context7_<original_name>`
- [ ] ToolDef wrapping: map MCP inputSchema (JSONSchema) to ToolJsonSchema `function.parameters`; use `z.any()` for Zod inputSchema (MCP already validated on the server side)
- [ ] Execute wrapper: strip `context7_` prefix before calling MCP, join result content blocks with `\n`
## B5 — Tool registration (lazy-init)
- [ ] `apps/server/src/services/tools.ts` — convert `ALL_TOOLS` from a module-level constant to a lazy-initialized array
- [ ] Add `initializeTools(mcpTools: ToolDef[])` function that builds the final sorted list
- [ ] `TOOLS_BY_NAME`, `READ_ONLY_TOOL_NAMES` derived from the initialized list
- [ ] Ensure all existing callers of `ALL_TOOLS` / `TOOLS_BY_NAME` still work (they import from tools.ts — verify the export shape)
- [ ] OR simpler: keep ALL_TOOLS as-is (native tools), add `appendMcpTools(tools)` that mutates + re-sorts + rebuilds TOOLS_BY_NAME. Less clean but less invasive.
## B6 — Startup wiring
- [ ] `apps/server/src/index.ts` — after `applySchema()`, before route registration:
- If `config.MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` is set: `await mcpClient.initialize(config, app.log)`
- `appendMcpTools(mcpClient.getTools())` (or equivalent)
- Log tool count
- [ ] If URL not set: skip, log "mcp: Context7 not configured, skipping"
## B7 — Verification
- [ ] `npx tsc --noEmit -p apps/server` — 0 errors
- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/server test` — all existing tests pass (MCP client is startup-only; tests don't initialize it)
- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/web build` — green (no web changes)
## B8 — Unit tests
- [ ] NEW `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/mcp-client.test.ts`
- [ ] Test: tool wrapping produces correct ToolDef shape (name, description, jsonSchema, execute fn)
- [ ] Test: read-only guard rejects tools with `readOnly: false`
- [ ] Test: read-only guard accepts tools with `readOnly: true` or no annotations
- [ ] Test: name prefixing — `resolve-library-id``context7_resolve-library-id`
- [ ] Test: result extraction — single text content block → string; multiple → joined with `\n`
- [ ] Test: error result — MCP error → `{error: true, output: ...}` shape
## B9 — Deploy + smoke
- [ ] Add `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL=https://mcp.context7.com/mcp` to docker-compose env (or .env)
- [ ] `docker compose up --build -d`
- [ ] Check logs for MCP initialization message
- [ ] Live-smoke: send a chat asking about AI SDK docs via Context7
- [ ] Verify tool calls + results render normally
## B10 — Docs + tag
- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` entry
- [ ] `boocode_roadmap.md` retrospective bullet
- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` — mention MCP client in the tools/services section
- [ ] Commit, tag `v1.14.1-mcp-poc`, push, rebuild
