This server enables COBOL legacy modernization by providing tools to analyze, understand, and plan the migration of COBOL codebases to modern technology stacks.

• Parse COBOL Programs — Analyze COBOL source code to extract divisions, paragraphs, file I/O operations, SQL/CICS statements, copybook references, and cyclomatic complexity metrics.

• Identify Business Rules — Automatically extract business logic encoded in IF and EVALUATE statements from the COBOL PROCEDURE DIVISION, with configurable limits on the number of rules returned.

• Estimate Migration Complexity — Assess the effort required to migrate COBOL code to a target stack (Python, Java, Go, Rust, or .NET), helping teams understand scope before committing to a migration.

• Plan Migration Phases — Generate a structured 4-phase migration roadmap based on lines of code (LOC) and complexity scores, providing a step-by-step modernization strategy.

• Generate Test Harnesses — Create skeleton test harness code for parallel-run equivalence testing, enabling teams to validate that the modernized system produces the same results as the original COBOL system.

The server is also built with EU AI Act compliance in mind, covering risk management, transparency, bias detection, FRIA support, and AI content watermarking.

1. Click on "Install Server".

2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.

3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@COBOL Bridge MCP plan migration of my COBOL inventory system to Java"

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
