🏗️ Project Root Resolution Policy

Overview

All tools in the Kotlin MCP Server have been refactored to work exclusively on the user's project workspace, never on the MCP server's current working directory. This ensures safe, predictable tool behavior and prevents accidental modifications outside your project.

Path Resolution Priority

Tools resolve the project root in this order:

1. Explicit Input: project_root or projectRoot parameter

2. Environment Variables: PROJECT_PATH or WORKSPACE_PATH

3. IDE Metadata: Workspace root from MCP client (VS Code, Cursor, etc.)

4. Fail-Safe: Tools will error rather than use server CWD

Input Synonyms

Tools accept both camelCase and snake_case parameter names:

IDE Integration Defaults

When using IDE extensions (VS Code, Cursor), tools automatically detect:

• Workspace Root: Active workspace directory

• Active File: Currently open file for file-based operations

• Selection: Text selection for refactoring operations

Security Safeguards

• Path Traversal Protection: All file paths validated to be under project root

• Server CWD Guard: Runtime checks prevent accidental server directory operations

• Audit Logging: All tool operations logged with project context

Example Tool Calls

With Explicit Project Root:

With Environment Variable:

Error Handling

Tools provide clear errors when project root cannot be resolved:

   code --install-extension ms-python.python

2. Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config_vscode.json with the correct paths. Simply add to VS Code settings.json (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"):

   { "mcp.server.configFiles": [ "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json" ], "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/usr/bin/python3", "python.linting.enabled": true, "python.formatting.provider": "black", "python.sortImports.path": "isort" }

   💡 Pro Tip: The installation script provides the exact path you need to use.

3. Workspace Settings (.vscode/settings.json):

   { "python.pythonPath": "python3", "mcp.server.autoStart": true, "mcp.server.logLevel": "info" }

JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio)

1. Install Required Plugins:

   • Go to File > Settings > Plugins (Windows/Linux) or IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences > Plugins (Mac)

   • Search and install "MCP" plugin from marketplace

   • Install "Python" plugin if not already available

2. Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config.json with proper configuration. In your IDE:

   • Go to File > Settings > Tools > MCP Server

   • Click + to add new server:

     • Name: Your custom server name (as configured during installation)

     • Configuration File: Select the generated mcp_config.json

     • Auto Start: Enable

3. Android Studio Specific:

   <!-- Add to .idea/workspace.xml --> <component name="MCPServerManager"> <option name="servers"> <server name="your-server-name" configFile="mcp_config.json" autoStart="true"/> </option> </component>

   💡 Note: Replace your-server-name with the server name you chose during installation.

Claude Desktop

1. Configuration File Location:

🌉 VS Code Bridge Server

The VS Code Bridge Server provides HTTP API access to MCP tools for VS Code extensions and other applications that can't directly use the MCP protocol.

When to Use the Bridge Server

• VS Code Extensions: When building custom VS Code extensions that need MCP functionality

• HTTP Clients: When integrating with tools that only support HTTP APIs

• Remote Access: When you need to access MCP tools from another machine

• Testing: For easy testing of MCP tools using curl or Postman

• Web Applications: For web-based interfaces to MCP functionality

Bridge Server Features

Workspace Detection

• Automatically detects current VS Code workspace

• Uses VSCODE_WORKSPACE_FOLDER environment variable

• Falls back to current working directory

Available Endpoints

Tool Execution:

Supported Tools via Bridge

• gradle_build - Build Android project

• run_tests - Execute tests

• create_kotlin_file - Create Kotlin source files

• create_layout_file - Create Android layout files

• analyze_project - Project structure analysis

• All other MCP tools (see full list via /health)
