ARC Config MCP Server

# 🚀 Tier 1 to Production: Complete Integration Guide ## Current Status: ✅ TIER 1 COMPLETE You now have a working ARC MCP server with: - ✅ Compiling TypeScript codebase - ✅ Policy engine with 12 rules - ✅ Natural language processing - ✅ Smart service stubs - ✅ **NEW**: Release management workflows - ✅ **NEW**: Docker multi-stage builds - ✅ **NEW**: CI/CD pipeline ## 🎯 What Just Got Added ### 1. GitHub Actions Workflows **`.github/workflows/release.yml`** - Automated releases on git tags - Multi-architecture Docker builds (amd64, arm64) - Publishes to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) - Auto-generates release notes - Validates policy engine and NL parser **`.github/workflows/ci.yml`** - Runs on every push/PR - Lints, builds, validates - Tests policy engine and NL parser - Generates summary reports ### 2. Docker Support **`Dockerfile`** (Production) - Multi-stage build (builder + production) - Alpine-based for small image size - Non-root user for security - Health checks included - Optimized layer caching ### 3. Documentation **`RELEASE_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION.md`** - Complete integration plan - MCP tools for release management - Script execution patterns - Usage examples ## 🚀 Quick Start: First Release ### Option 1: Manual Release (Recommended for testing) ```bash # 1. Ensure everything is committed git status # 2. Create and push a tag git tag v1.4.1 git push origin v1.4.1 # 3. Watch the magic happen! # GitHub Actions will: # - Build and test # - Create Docker images # - Publish to GHCR # - Create GitHub release # 4. Monitor progress open https://github.com/tsviz/arc-config-mcp/actions ``` ### Option 2: Using MCP Tools (Future) ```typescript // Once release tools are registered arc_create_release({ version: 'patch', message: 'feat: add release management', dryRun: false }) ``` ## 📦 Docker Usage ### Pull and Run ```bash # Once first release is published docker pull ghcr.io/tsviz/arc-config-mcp:v1.4.1 # Run the server docker run -i --rm \ -v ~/.kube:/home/mcp/.kube:ro \ -e GITHUB_TOKEN=$GITHUB_TOKEN \ ghcr.io/tsviz/arc-config-mcp:v1.4.1 ``` ### Claude Desktop Integration ```json { "mcpServers": { "arc-mcp": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-v", "${HOME}/.kube:/home/mcp/.kube:ro", "-e", "GITHUB_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/tsviz/arc-config-mcp:latest" ] } } } ``` ## 🔄 Next Enhancement Tiers ### Tier 2: Active Development (Choose what you need) #### Option A: Complete Service Implementations (4-6 hours) - Implement all 13 K8s service methods - Add Helm client integration - Implement network policies - Full CRD support **When to choose:** Need actual cluster operations #### Option B: Release Management Tools (2-3 hours) - Add `arc_create_release` tool - Add `arc_check_release_status` tool - Integrate changelog generation - Add semantic versioning logic **When to choose:** Want automated releases via Copilot #### Option C: Script Integration (2-3 hours) - Bundle install-arc.sh script - Add `arc_run_install_script` tool - Add `arc_validate_config_script` tool - Enable script execution from MCP **When to choose:** Want to leverage existing bash automation ### Tier 3: Production Ready (1-2 weeks) - Complete test suite (unit + integration) - Add monitoring and observability - Implement error handling and retry logic - Add rate limiting and caching - Security hardening - Performance optimization - Comprehensive documentation ## 📊 Current Capabilities Matrix | Feature | Status | Notes | | ------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- | | **Core MCP Server** | ✅ Working | Stdio transport | | **Policy Engine** | ✅ Working | 12 rules, YAML evaluation | | **NL Parser** | ✅ Working | 16 intent patterns | | **GitHub Actions** | ✅ Ready | Push a tag to test | | **Docker Build** | ✅ Ready | Multi-arch support | | **GHCR Publishing** | ✅ Ready | Automatic on release | | **Service Methods** | ⚠️ Stubbed | Works with warnings | | **Release Tools** | 📝 Planned | See RELEASE_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION.md | | **Script Tools** | 📝 Planned | See RELEASE_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION.md | | **Test Suite** | 📝 Planned | Unit tests needed | ## 🎬 Recommended Next Actions ### Immediate (Do Today) 1. **Test the Release Workflow** ```bash # Create a test release git tag v1.4.1 -m "test: first release with CI/CD" git push origin v1.4.1 # Watch the workflow gh workflow view ``` 2. **Build Docker Image Locally** ```bash docker build -t arc-mcp:local . docker run -i --rm arc-mcp:local ``` 3. **Review GitHub Actions** ```bash # Check workflow status gh run list # View latest run gh run view ``` ### This Week 1. **Choose Your Next Tier 2 Option** - Need cluster operations? → Option A (Service implementations) - Want automated releases? → Option B (Release tools) - Prefer bash scripts? → Option C (Script integration) 2. **Set Up GHCR Access** - Ensure GitHub token has `packages:write` permission - Test pulling images after first release 3. **Document Your Setup** - Add your specific use cases - Document environment variables - Create quickstart guide ### This Month 1. **Implement Chosen Tier 2 Features** 2. **Add Integration Tests** 3. **Create Example Workflows** 4. **Share with Team/Community** ## 🐛 Troubleshooting ### Release Workflow Fails ```bash # Check workflow logs gh run view --log # Common issues: # 1. Missing GITHUB_TOKEN - should be automatic # 2. Permission issues - check repo settings # 3. Tag format - must start with 'v' ``` ### Docker Build Fails ```bash # Build with verbose output docker build --progress=plain -t arc-mcp:debug . # Check Node.js version node --version # Should be 18+ # Verify build directory exists ls -la build/ ``` ### GHCR Push Fails ```bash # Check GHCR login echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin # Verify repository permissions # Go to: Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions # Ensure "Read and write permissions" is enabled ``` ## 📈 Success Metrics After first release, you should have: - [ ] Git tag created (e.g., v1.4.1) - [ ] GitHub Actions workflow completed successfully - [ ] Docker image published to GHCR - [ ] GitHub release created with notes - [ ] Image pullable: `docker pull ghcr.io/tsviz/arc-config-mcp:v1.4.1` ## 🎉 You're Ready! You now have: 1. **Working MCP Server** - Tier 1 complete 2. **Release Automation** - CI/CD ready 3. **Docker Support** - Multi-arch builds 4. **Clear Path Forward** - 3 enhancement options Choose your next adventure! 🚀 --- **Questions?** Check: - [ADAPTIVE_STRATEGY.md](./ADAPTIVE_STRATEGY.md) - Overall approach - [RELEASE_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION.md](./RELEASE_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION.md) - Detailed integration - [QUICK_START.md](./QUICK_START.md) - Getting started
