RichCorabbithole MCP Server

Project-aware MCP server for richcorabbithole-api development. Reduces token usage by caching file contents and providing high-level operations.

Installation

npm install

Related MCP server: codeweaver-mcp

Configuration

1. Get Asana Personal Access Token:

   • Go to Asana → Settings → Apps → Personal Access Tokens

   • Create new token

   • Copy it

2. Add to Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "richcorabbithole": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/richardcompton/projects/richcorabbithole/richcorabbithole-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ASANA_TOKEN": "your_asana_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

run_tests

Run npm test and return summary. Set verbose: true for full output.

get_project_status

Get current git status and modified files.

get_pipeline_info

Get pipeline architecture and status flow info.

compare_prompts

Compare prompts across workers to find inconsistencies.

get_file

Get cached file content. Uses cache to reduce file reads. Set refresh: true to force reload.

Parameters:

• path (required): Relative path from API root

• refresh (optional): Force refresh cache

get_asana_tasks

Get tasks from Asana project by GID. Cached 5 minutes. Set refresh: true to force reload.

Parameters:

• project_gid (required): Asana project GID

• refresh (optional): Force refresh cache

Find your project GID: Open project in Asana, check URL: asana.com/0/{project_gid}/...

Site Tools

list_blog_posts

List all blog posts with metadata (title, date, category, depth, draft status).

Parameters:

• drafts (optional): Include draft posts (default: true)

get_blog_post

Get full content of a blog post by slug.

Parameters:

• slug (required): Blog post slug (filename without .md)

run_site_tests

Run site tests (unit and/or e2e).

Parameters:

• type (optional): Type of tests to run: 'unit', 'e2e', or 'all' (default: unit)

• verbose (optional): Show full output (default: false)

get_site_build_status

Check if site builds successfully.

get_site_config

Get Astro site configuration.

validate_blog_frontmatter

Validate frontmatter of blog posts against schema.

Parameters:

• slug (optional): Blog post slug to validate (validates all if not provided)

get_category_schema

Get current hyperfixation categories with colors, Zod enum values, and CSS variables. Use before any category-related work.

Pipeline Overview

Topics flow through five Lambda workers: Research → Write → Edit → SEO → Publish. Each stage is decoupled by SQS. Task state is tracked in DynamoDB.

Every post has two classification axes resolved at research time:

• Hyperfixation category — scored against known categories, can propose new ones

• Article type — knowledge, best-of, how-to, or masterclass. Inferred from the topic if not provided. Shapes both research focus and post structure.

Benefits

• Reduced token usage: Caches files, provides summaries instead of full output

• Project context: Understands pipeline stages, worker relationships

• High-level operations: "run tests" instead of bash → parse → summarize

• Faster iteration: Pre-indexed project knowledge

Technical Notes

Dependencies

• Zod v4.3.6: Used for input schema validation. All tool schemas are defined using Zod's type-safe API.

• MCP SDK v1.26.0: Requires Zod schemas (v3 or v4) for input validation, not plain JSON schemas.

• Axios: For Asana API calls.

Schema Validation

This server uses Zod schemas for all tool input validation. The MCP SDK automatically validates inputs against these schemas before calling tool handlers. Example:

this.server.registerTool('get_file', {
  description: 'Get cached file content',
  inputSchema: z.object({
    path: z.string().describe('Relative path from API root'),
    refresh: z.boolean().optional().describe('Force refresh cache'),
  }),
}, async (args) => await this.getFile(args.path, args?.refresh));
