# ZigNet
**MCP Server for Zig** — Intelligent code analysis, validation, and documentation powered by a fine-tuned LLM
ZigNet integrates with Claude (and other MCP-compatible LLMs) to provide real-time Zig code analysis without leaving your chat interface.
---
## 🎯 Features
### MCP Tools
<details>
<summary><b>🔍 analyze_zig</b> — Syntax and type checking with official Zig compiler</summary>
Analyze Zig code for syntax errors, type mismatches, and semantic issues using `zig ast-check`.
**Example usage:**
```typescript
User: "Analyze this Zig code"
Claude: [calls analyze_zig tool]
Response: "✅ Syntax: Valid | Type Check: PASS | Warnings: 0"
```
**Capabilities:**
- Lexical analysis (tokenization)
- Syntax parsing (AST generation)
- Type checking and validation
- Semantic error detection
- Line/column error reporting
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>✨ compile_zig</b> — Format and validate Zig code</summary>
Validate and format Zig code using `zig fmt`, generating clean, idiomatic output.
**Example:**
```zig
// Input (messy)
fn add(a:i32,b:i32)i32{return a+b;}
// Output (formatted)
fn add(a: i32, b: i32) i32 {
return a + b;
}
```
**Capabilities:**
- Code formatting (2-space indentation)
- Syntax validation
- Best practices enforcement
- Preserves semantics
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>📖 get_zig_docs</b> — AI-powered documentation lookup (coming soon)</summary>
Retrieve Zig documentation and explanations for language features using a fine-tuned LLM.
**Example:**
```typescript
Query: "comptime"
Response: "comptime enables compile-time evaluation in Zig..."
```
**Powered by:**
- Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-Coder-7B model
- 13,756 examples from Zig 0.13-0.15
- Specialized on advanced Zig idioms (comptime, generics, error handling)
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>🔧 suggest_fix</b> — Intelligent error fix suggestions (coming soon)</summary>
Get intelligent code fix suggestions for Zig errors using AI-powered analysis.
**Example:**
```zig
// Error: "Type mismatch: cannot assign string to i32"
var x: i32 = "hello";
// Suggestions:
// Option 1: var x: []const u8 = "hello"; // If you meant string
// Option 2: var x: i32 = 42; // If you meant integer
```
**Features:**
- Context-aware suggestions
- Multiple fix options
- Explanation of the issue
- Zig idiom recommendations
</details>
---
## 📖 Usage
ZigNet is an **MCP server** — configure it once in your MCP client, then use it naturally in conversation.
<details>
<summary><b>🖥️ Claude Desktop</b></summary>
**Configuration file location:**
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
**Add this:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zignet": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "zignet"]
}
}
}
```
**Then restart Claude Desktop** and start using:
```
You: "Analyze this Zig code for errors"
[paste code]
Claude: [uses analyze_zig tool]
"Found 1 type error: variable 'x' expects i32 but got []const u8"
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>🔧 VS Code (with GitHub Copilot)</b></summary>
**Method 1: VS Code Marketplace (coming soon)**
1. Open VS Code Extensions (`Ctrl+Shift+X` / `Cmd+Shift+X`)
2. Search for `@mcp zignet`
3. Click **Install**
4. Restart VS Code
**Method 2: Manual configuration (available now)**
1. Install GitHub Copilot extension (if not already installed)
2. Open Copilot settings
3. Add to MCP servers config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zignet": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "zignet"]
}
}
}
```
**Then restart VS Code** and Copilot will have access to ZigNet tools.
</details>
### What happens after configuration?
1. **First use**: `npx` downloads and caches ZigNet automatically
2. **Zig compiler**: Downloads on-demand (supports Zig 0.13, 0.14, 0.15)
3. **Tools available**: `analyze_zig`, `compile_zig` (+ `get_zig_docs`, `suggest_fix` coming soon)
4. **Zero maintenance**: Updates automatically via `npx -y zignet`

## ⚙️ Configuration
### GPU Selection (Multi-GPU Systems)
If you have multiple GPUs (e.g., AMD + NVIDIA), you can control which GPU ZigNet uses via environment variables.
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
$env:ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE="0"
npx -y zignet
```
**macOS/Linux:**
```bash
export ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE="0"
npx -y zignet
```
**VS Code MCP Configuration with GPU selection:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zignet": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "zignet"],
"env": {
"ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
**Claude Desktop configuration with GPU selection:**
**macOS/Linux** (`~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zignet": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "zignet"],
"env": {
"ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
**Windows** (`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zignet": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "zignet"],
"env": {
"ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
**GPU Device Values:**
- `"0"` - Use first GPU only (e.g., RTX 4090)
- `"1"` - Use second GPU only
- `"0,1"` - Use both GPUs
- Not set - Use all available GPUs (default)
**Identify your GPUs:**
```bash
# NVIDIA GPUs
nvidia-smi
# Output shows GPU indices:
# GPU 0: NVIDIA RTX 4090
# GPU 1: AMD Radeon 6950XT (won't be used by CUDA anyway)
```
### Advanced Configuration
All configuration options can be set via environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `ZIGNET_GPU_DEVICE` | auto | GPU device selection (CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) |
| `ZIGNET_GPU_LAYERS` | 35 | Number of model layers on GPU (0=CPU only) |
| `ZIGNET_MODEL_PATH` | `~/.zignet/models/...` | Custom model path |
| `ZIGNET_MODEL_AUTO_DOWNLOAD` | true | Auto-download model from HuggingFace |
| `ZIGNET_CONTEXT_SIZE` | 4096 | LLM context window size |
| `ZIGNET_TEMPERATURE` | 0.7 | LLM creativity (0.0-1.0) |
| `ZIGNET_TOP_P` | 0.9 | LLM sampling parameter |
| `ZIG_SUPPORTED` | 0.13.0,0.14.0,0.15.2 | Supported Zig versions |
| `ZIG_DEFAULT` | 0.15.2 | Default Zig version |

```
**Why this architecture?**
- **Official Zig compiler** (100% accurate, always up-to-date) instead of custom parser
- **System integration** (uses existing Zig installation if available)
- **LLM-powered suggestions** (get_zig_docs, suggest_fix) for intelligence
- **No external API calls** (local inference via node-llama-cpp)
- **Fast** (< 100ms for validation, < 2s for LLM suggestions)
**Note:** When Zig releases a new version (e.g., 0.16.0), ZigNet will need to re-train the LLM model on updated documentation and examples.

## 🧪 Testing
### Running Tests
```bash
# Run all tests (unit + E2E)
pnpm test
# Run only E2E tests
pnpm test tests/e2e/mcp-integration.test.ts
# Run deterministic tests only (no LLM required)
SKIP_LLM_TESTS=1 pnpm test tests/e2e
# Watch mode for development
pnpm test:watch
```
### Test Coverage
**E2E Test Suite:** 27 tests covering all MCP tools
| Tool | Tests | Type | Pass Rate |
| ------------ | ----- | ------------- | --------- |
| analyze_zig | 4 | Deterministic | 100% |
| compile_zig | 3 | Deterministic | 100% |
| get_zig_docs | 5 | LLM-powered | 100% |
| suggest_fix | 5 | LLM-powered | 100% |
| Integration | 3 | Mixed | 100% |
| Performance | 3 | Stress tests | 100% |
| Edge Cases | 4 | Error paths | 100% |
**Execution time:** 8.7 seconds (without LLM model, deterministic only)
**With LLM model:** ~60-120 seconds (includes model loading + inference)
### Test Behavior
- **Deterministic tests** (12 tests): Always run, use Zig compiler directly
- **LLM tests** (15 tests): Auto-skip if model not found, graceful degradation
- **CI/CD ready**: Runs on GitHub Actions without GPU requirements
