Code-MCP

# Code-MCP Feature & Tools Gap Analysis ## Executive Summary Code-MCP currently provides **46 robust tools** focused on Cognitive tasks, Memory management, Code/Config generation, and basic System Analysis. The suite is heavily optimized for the **Node.js/TypeScript/React** ecosystem, with strong "Thinking" capabilities via prompts and cognitive tools. The primary gaps lie in **multi-language automation** (deep support for Python/Go/Rust beyond simple scaffolding), **infrastructure-as-code** (Terraform/K8s), and **execution** capabilities (running tests, migrations, or builds). ## 1. Language & Ecosystem Support Current tooling is deeply integrated with the JavaScript ecosystem (`check_dependencies` for npm/yarn, `ts_helper`). Support for other languages is largely superficial (config generation only). | Ecosystem | Current Capabilities | Gap Analysis | Recommendation | Priority | | :----------- | :------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------- | :--------- | | **Node/TS** | ✅ Full (Lint, Dep Check, Scaffolding) | None | n/a | - | | **Python** | ⚠️ Basic (Dockerfile only) | No dependency analysis (`pip`/`poetry`), no linting wrapper (`pylint`/`ruff`), no AST analysis. | Add `analyze_python` & `python_helper` | **High** | | **Go** | ⚠️ Basic (Dockerfile only) | No `go mod` analysis, no `go fmt`/`vet` wrapper. | Add `go_helper` | **High** | | **Rust** | ⚠️ Basic (Dockerfile only) | No `cargo` integration, no borrow checker analysis wrapper. | Add `rust_helper` | **Medium** | | **Java/JVM** | ❌ None | Completely missing. | Add support for Maven/Gradle | Low | ## 2. Infrastructure & Cloud (DevOps) Current DevOps tools focus on the _container_ (Dockerfile) and the _pipeline_ (GitHub Actions). The _platform_ layer is missing. - **Infrastructure as Code (IaC)**: - **Gap**: No tools to generate Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, or CloudFormation templates. - **Action**: Create `generate_terraform_resource` or `scaffold_infrastructure`. - **Orchestration**: - **Gap**: No Kubernetes manifest generation (Deployment, Service, Ingress) or Helm Chart scaffolding. - **Action**: Create `generate_k8s_manifest`. - **Observability**: - **Gap**: No setup for Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry configurations. - **Action**: Add `generate_observability_config`. ## 3. Testing & Quality Assurance Current tools can _write_ tests (`generate_tests`) but cannot _verify_ them. - **Test Execution**: - **Gap**: The agent cannot run tests to verify its own work. It relies on the user to run `npm test`. - **Action**: Create `run_task` or `run_tests` (safely boxed execution). - **Coverage & Analysis**: - **Gap**: No ability to digest coverage reports (lcov, cobertura) to find untested code paths. - **Action**: Create `analyze_test_coverage`. - **Security**: - **Gap**: `check_dependencies` is good, but specialized SAST (Static Application Security Testing) is missing. - **Action**: Integrate or wrap tools like `bandit` (Python), `gosec` (Go), or `npm audit`. ## 4. Database & Data Management Current support is generic (`sql_helper` for raw SQL) or conceptual (`act_as_dba` prompt). - **ORM Integration**: - **Gap**: Modern development relies on ORMs. We lack specific schema generators for Prisma `schema.prisma`, TypeORM entities, or SQLAlchemy models. - **Action**: Enhance `generate_snippet` with specific ORM patterns or create `generate_orm_schema`. - **Migration Management**: - **Gap**: No tool to help apply, rollback, or verify migration status. - **Action**: Create `manage_migrations` (wrapper for common CLI tools). ## 5. Documentation & Knowledge - **API Documentation**: - **Gap**: No automatic generation of OpenAPI/Swagger specs from code. - **Action**: Create `generate_openapi_spec`. - **Architecture Visualization**: - **Gap**: `generate_diagram` exists, but `verify_diagram` (ensuring the diagram matches the code) does not. - **Action**: Create `visualize_codebase` (auto-generate Mermaid from AST). ## 6. Proposed Roadmap ### Phase 1: Polyglot Expansion (Weeks 1-2) Goal: Make Code-MCP useful for Python and Go developers. - [ ] Implement `python_tools` (Linting, pip analysis). - [ ] Implement `go_tools` (Go mod analysis, formatting). ### Phase 2: DevOps & Cloud (Weeks 3-4) Goal: Enable end-to-end infrastructure generation. - [ ] Implement `iac_tools` (Terraform generator). - [ ] Implement `k8s_tools` (Manifest generator). ### Phase 3: "Active" Tools (Weeks 5+) Goal: Allow the agent to _run_ and _verify_ work. - [ ] Implement `test_runner_tools`. - [ ] Implement `migration_tools`. ### Phase 4: Enterprise Integration (Future) - [ ] Jira/Linear integration (`sync_tickets`). - [ ] specialized Security Audits.
