BoJ Server -- the "Bundle of Joy" Server

One MCP server that gives any AI assistant access to your databases, containers, git repos, secrets, and more -- instead of installing seven separate tools. A genuine 'bundle of joy'.

Quick Start

1. Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/boj-server
cd boj-server
cd ffi/zig && zig build

2. Start the server

cd boj-server && deno run --allow-net --allow-env mcp-bridge/main.js

3. Connect your AI assistant

Add to your Claude Code MCP config (~/.config/claude/mcp_servers.json):

{
  "boj-server": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["/path/to/boj-server/mcp-bridge/main.js"],
    "env": { "BOJ_URL": "http://localhost:7700" }
  }
}

HTTP/SSE remote transport for ChatGPT, Gemini, and other clients is coming soon.

What Can It Do?

BoJ organises capabilities into cartridges (pluggable modules), each covering a domain. Here is what is available today:

Domain

Cartridge

Example

Database

database-mcp

"Query my PostgreSQL database for all users created this week"

Containers

container-mcp

"List running containers and restart the web server"

Git

git-mcp

"Show me the diff between main and this branch across all three forges"

Secrets

secrets-mcp

"Rotate the API key stored in Vault and update the deployment"

Observability

observe-mcp

"Show me error rates from the last hour and correlate with recent deploys"

Cloud

cloud-mcp

"Spin up a staging instance on my cloud provider"

Kubernetes

k8s-mcp

"Scale the worker deployment to 5 replicas"

Queues

queues-mcp

"Check the dead-letter queue depth and replay failed messages"

Infrastructure

iac-mcp

"Plan the Terraform changes for the new VPC"

Static Sites

ssg-mcp

"Build and preview the documentation site"

Proof Assistants

proof-mcp

"Type-check the Idris2 module and show any holes"

Language Servers

lsp-mcp

"Get completions and diagnostics for this file"

Debugging

dap-mcp

"Set a breakpoint at line 42 and inspect the variable"

Build Servers

bsp-mcp

"Run the build and report compile errors"

Bot Fleet

fleet-mcp

"Run the security scan bots across all repositories"

Neurosymbolic

nesy-mcp

"Classify this input using the symbolic reasoning pipeline"

Agents

agent-mcp

"Dispatch an OODA-loop agent to investigate the incident"

Why BoJ Instead of Separate MCP Servers?

One connection, not seventeen. Your AI assistant connects to one server and gets access to all domains through a single menu.

Lower memory footprint. One native process instead of 7+ separate npm exec processes each consuming 200-300 MB of RAM.

Verified state machines. Each cartridge's lifecycle (connect, query, disconnect) is modelled as a state machine with formal proofs that prevent invalid transitions. This means your AI cannot, for example, issue a query on a closed database connection.

Federation-ready. BoJ nodes can form a peer-to-peer network (Umoja federation) for production-scale distributed hosting. Community nodes volunteer compute, with cryptographic hash attestation ensuring integrity.

Current Status

See docs/READINESS.md for the full component-by-component assessment.

Architecture (For Contributors)

BoJ uses Idris2 for interface proofs (zero believe_me), Zig for the C-compatible FFI layer, V-lang for the REST/gRPC/GraphQL adapter, and JavaScript for the MCP bridge. If that sounds like a lot of languages, it is -- each was chosen for a specific guarantee. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the rationale and contributor guide.

Cartridges are loaded as shared libraries (.so files) at runtime, verified by hash before mounting. Community-contributed cartridges go through the same verification pipeline.
