Optivise

This Package is Under Development. Please allow me some more days. Will bring something awesome soon.

Optivise is an intelligent MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool that enhances AI-assisted Optimizely development. It analyzes developer prompts for Optimizely relevance and provides curated, contextual information to LLMs.

Features (Current)

  • 5 Specialized MCP Tools:

    • optidev_context_analyzer: Enhanced context analysis with product detection

    • optidev_implementation_guide: Jira ticket analysis and implementation planning

    • optidev_debug_helper: Intelligent bug analysis and resolution

    • optidev_code_analyzer: Real-time code analysis and optimization

    • optidev_project_helper: Project setup, migration, and configuration assistance

  • AI-Powered Capabilities (Optional):

    • OpenAI integration for embeddings and semantic search (optional)

    • ChromaDB vector database for documentation search (optional)

    • Deterministic relevance scoring with evidence and rules

    • Graceful fallbacks when AI features unavailable

  • Observability & Safety:

    • Structured JSON logs on stderr with correlation IDs; MCP stdout clean

    • Log redaction, block sanitization (scripts/iframes/JS/data URIs), content size ceilings

    • Diagnostics with per-stage timings and relevance breakdown

Installation

# Install Optivise globally
npm install -g optivise

# Verify installation
optivise version

IDE Configuration

For Cursor IDE:

Create or update .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "optivise": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["optivise-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

For VS Code:

Add to your VS Code settings:

{
  "mcp.servers": [
    {
      "name": "optivise",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["optivise-mcp"]
    }
  ]
}

Usage

@optidev_context_analyzer "How do I implement a custom handler chain in Optimizely Commerce?"

AI Enhancement (Optional)

To enable AI-powered features:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "optivise": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["optivise-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI Utilities

# Propose a consolidated .cursorrules from discovered rules (prints JSON with diff)
optivise-rules propose /path/to/project

# Write the proposed .cursorrules to the project root
optivise-rules propose /path/to/project --write

# Print version and service diagnostics (AI/Chroma/doc-sync availability)
optivise-diag

# Query local HTTP server health or readiness
optivise-health                   # defaults to http://localhost:3007/health
optivise-health --ready           # queries http://localhost:3007/ready
optivise-health --url=http://host:port/ready

Environment Variables

  • LOG_LEVEL: error|warn|info|debug (default: info)

  • OPTIVISE_MODE: mcp|server (default: mcp)

  • MAX_BLOCK_CHARS: max characters per context block (default: 5000)

  • MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS: hard safety ceiling for context tokens (default: 4000)

  • OPENAI_API_KEY: optional, enables AI-powered features

  • CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS: comma-separated allowed origins for HTTP server (default: *)

  • REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS: per-request timeout for /analyze (default: 15000)

  • AUDIT_API_KEY: enables protected GET /audit endpoint when OPTIVISE_AUDIT=true

  • OPTIVISE_AUDIT: set to 'true' to enable in-memory audit trail (requires AUDIT_API_KEY for access)

Troubleshooting

MCP Server Not Connecting

  • Verify Node.js version: Ensure Node.js >= 18.0.0

  • Restart IDE after configuration changes

  • Check logs: Set LOG_LEVEL=debug for detailed logs

Tools Not Available

  • Verify configuration: Ensure optivise-mcp is correctly referenced

  • Test connection: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx optivise-mcp

Windows Path Issues

Use forward slashes or double backslashes in JSON:

"args": ["optivise-mcp"]

Render Deployment (Example)

See render.yaml for a minimal configuration:

services:
  - type: web
    name: optivise
    env: node
    plan: free
    buildCommand: npm install && npm run build
    startCommand: npm start
    envVars:
      - key: NODE_ENV
        value: production
      - key: OPTIVISE_MODE
        value: server
      - key: OPTIDEV_DEBUG
        value: false
      - key: CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS
        value: https://yourdomain.com
    healthCheckPath: /health

After deployment:

  • GET /health for liveness

  • GET /ready for feature matrix + circuit states (OpenAI/Chroma)

  • Use optivise-health locally to check http://localhost:3007/health

Audit Trail (Opt-in)

  • Enable: set OPTIVISE_AUDIT=true and set a strong AUDIT_API_KEY.

  • Fetch recent events:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUDIT_API_KEY" http://localhost:3007/audit | jq

Security & Privacy (Current)

  • Log redaction (API keys/tokens/passwords), correlation IDs, MCP stdout kept clean

  • Output sanitization and size bounds in formatter; relevance-aware truncation

  • Opt-in in-memory audit trail for tool invocations (protected endpoint)

  • Circuit breakers and backoff for AI/Chroma integrations; CI npm audit + CycloneDX SBOM

Planned (not yet implemented): stronger PII detection, allow-listed HTML sanitization, signed releases, and comprehensive policy scans (e.g., OSV).

Use Cases & Examples

    TDQS

    B3/5.0

    Scored across 5 tools

    Disambiguation3/5

    Several tools have overlapping purposes: implementation_guide and project_helper both provide development guidance, while code_analyzer and debug_helper both analyze code for issues. Descriptions clarify some boundaries but ambiguity remains, especially for agents relying on tool names alone.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent optidev_<topic>_<role> pattern (analyzer, guide, helper) and use snake_case throughout. The convention is uniform and predictable, even though it uses nouns rather than verbs.

    Tool Count5/5

    With exactly 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for a development assistance purpose. Each tool covers a distinct area without unnecessary duplication, making the set manageable and purposeful.

    Completeness4/5

    The toolset covers key development assistance needs: context analysis, implementation guidance, debugging, code analysis, and project setup. Minor gaps exist (e.g., testing or deployment guidance), but core workflows are well represented.
