Engineering Intelligence MCP

A production-oriented Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Express.js applications that enables AI clients to inspect backend systems through structured engineering tools instead of direct file system access.

The server exposes backend engineering context including Git history, Winston logs, OpenAPI/Swagger contracts, and sandboxed source code through MCP tools. The implementation has been validated using both the official MCP Inspector and Claude Desktop.

Built on top of https://github.com/sanchit0496/vectordb-rag

Installation

git clone <repository>

npm install

npm run dev

Configure Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engineering-intelligence": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/mcp/server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.

Available MCP Tools

Working Example

Related MCP server: agent-debugger

Prompt

Compare the implementation of POST /orders with its OpenAPI contract.

Tool Execution

Result

The server successfully detected a contract mismatch between the documented API and the controller implementation.

Example:

• Swagger contract expects customerId

• Controller consumes userId

This demonstrates how multiple MCP tools can be orchestrated by an AI client to investigate backend implementation issues.

Testing

The implementation was validated using two independent MCP clients.

MCP Inspector

• Tool discovery

• Tool execution

• Protocol validation

• Response verification

Claude Desktop

Successfully connected without code changes.

Validated:

• Git history inspection

• Winston log retrieval

• Swagger analysis

• Source code inspection

This confirms interoperability with real MCP clients.
