ModMind MCP Server

This directory is the publishable MCP protocol layer extracted from ModMind. It implements a local stdio server using JSON-RPC MCP methods and forwards tool calls to an already-running ModMind bridge over loopback HTTP.

The initial snapshot tracks the ModMind desktop line at 1.3.4; the package version (0.1.0) is independent and should be bumped when the public bridge contract changes.

The server deliberately contains no Electron code, provider credentials, project data, logs, bundled Minecraft binaries, or third-party runtime dependencies. It is not a standalone Minecraft automation backend: a compatible bridge must implement the action contract in docs/bridge-contract.md.

Run locally

Node.js 18.18 or newer is required.

npm test
$env:MODMIND_BRIDGE_CONFIG = "C:\path\to\project\.modmind\external-agents\bridge.json"
node .\src\mcp-server.mjs

MCP clients start the process and communicate through newline-delimited JSON on stdin/stdout. Do not write logs to stdout; stdout is the protocol channel.

Client configuration

Copy examples/mcp-config.json, replace both paths, and import it into a client that supports local stdio MCP servers. The desktop application normally creates bridge.json and the per-project configuration automatically. MODMIND_BRIDGE_CONFIG is optional when bridge.json is next to mcp-server.mjs.

For the ModMind desktop host startup command, project selection, lifecycle, action mapping, and compatibility requirements, see docs/external-bridge-integration.zh-CN.md.

Security model

The bridge binds to 127.0.0.1 and requires a random per-session token in the x-modmind-token header. Treat bridge.json as a secret, remove it when the session ends, and never expose the bridge port outside the local machine. The MCP server does not decide whether a write/build action is allowed; that policy belongs to the host application and its review adapter.

Current status

The source mirrors the current ModMind tool names and action mapping. The public action contract is intentionally versioned separately from the desktop app. Before publishing a release, run the preparation checklist in docs/open-source-preparation.zh-CN.md.
