# 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

# Provider Responsibilities
| Provider | Responsibility |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| Git Provider | Reads Git commit history for project files |
| Swagger Provider | Reads dynamically generated OpenAPI contracts |
| Log Provider | Retrieves Winston application logs |
| Source Provider | Lists directories and securely reads project source code |
| Tool Registry | Registers and dispatches MCP tool requests |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Tech Stack
| Category | Technology |
|-------------------|------------------------|
| Runtime | Node.js |
| Framework | Express.js |
| Protocol | Model Context Protocol |
| Logging | Winston |
| API Documentation | Swagger JSDoc |
| Database | MySQL + Sequelize |
| Version Control | Git |
| AI Client | Claude Desktop |
| Testing | MCP Inspector |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Installation
``` bash
git clone <repository>
npm install
npm run dev
```
Configure Claude Desktop:
``` json
{
"mcpServers": {
"engineering-intelligence": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/mcp/server.js"
]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop.

# Available MCP Tools
| Tool | Description |
|----------------------|----------------------------------------|
| check_file_history | Returns recent Git history for a file |
| read_winston_logs | Reads recent Winston logs |
| analyze_api_contract | Reads OpenAPI contract for an endpoint |
| list_directory | Lists project directories |
| read_source_code | Reads project source files securely |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Working Example
## Prompt
> Compare the implementation of **POST /orders** with its OpenAPI
> contract.
### Tool Execution
| Phase | Tool |
|-------------------------|----------------------|
| API Contract Inspection | analyze_api_contract |
| Source Inspection | read_source_code |
| Analysis | Claude Desktop |
### 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.

- 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.
