Usage

MCP Tools

Search Rust Packages

// Search for popular Rust packages await tools.search_rust_packages({ query: "web framework", limit: 10 });

Search Slint Components

// Find Slint UI components await tools.search_slint_components({ query: "button", category: "ui", limit: 10 });

Get Latest News

// Get latest Rust news await tools.get_rust_news({ limit: 10 }); // Get latest Slint news await tools.get_slint_news({ limit: 10 });

Data Management

// Check data freshness await tools.get_data_status(); // Refresh specific data type await tools.refresh_data({ type: "rust_packages" }); // Refresh all data await tools.refresh_data({ type: "all" });

Database Structure

The server uses SQLite with the following tables:

rust_packages: Popular Rust crates and packages
slint_components: Slint UI components and examples
rust_news: Latest Rust releases and announcements
slint_news: Recent Slint project updates
data_cached_at: Cache timestamp tracking for data freshness

Architecture

Data Flow

Startup: Server checks data freshness on initialization
Cache Validation: Compares cache timestamps against 24-hour threshold
GitHub API: Fetches fresh data from official repositories
Database Update: Stores new data in SQLite database
Tool Execution: Serves cached data through MCP tools

Technology Stack

Runtime: Node.js with TypeScript
MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
Database: SQLite with better-sqlite3
HTTP Client: Axios for GitHub API calls
Data Sources: GitHub REST API v3
