Setup

git clone https://github.com/openhoat/aik-mcp.git
cd aik-mcp
npm ci

Development

# Run all checks (lint, typecheck, build, test)
npm run validate

# Auto-fix linting and formatting
npm run qa:fix

# Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:watch

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage

Project structure

src/              # MCP server source code
scripts/          # Build and maintenance scripts
docs/             # VitePress documentation site
rag/agents/       # Scraped agent documentation for RAG

Code conventions

• TypeScript with strict mode
• Arrow functions over function declarations
• No any type — use unknown or specific types
• No as type assertions without a justifying comment
• Structured logging with pino (no console.log in production)
• Custom error classes with code and cause

Commit conventions

Follow Conventional Commits:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style, revert

Pull request workflow

1. Create a branch from main (feat/, fix/, chore/, etc.)
2. Make your changes in a git worktree
3. Run npm run validate before committing
4. Open a PR with a clear description
5. Squash-merge or rebase-merge into main

Release

npm version patch  # or minor, major

This runs validation, generates the changelog, creates a git tag, and pushes automatically. The CI pipeline publishes to npm and creates a GitHub release.

Agent Documentation RAG

Scraped agent documentation for local RAG indexing. The scraper fetches pages from the official documentation sites of opencode, Claude Code, and Cline, converts them to Markdown, and stores them in rag/agents/.

Scrape Documentation

npm run scrape:agent-docs

This fetches ~10 pages per agent and writes them to rag/agents/<agent>/<page>.md with YAML frontmatter (title, source, scraped_at).

Configure local-rag MCP Server

Point mcp-local-rag at the rag/agents directory to make the documentation queryable by AI agents:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-rag": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-local-rag"],
      "enabled": true,
      "timeout": 120000,
      "environment": {
        "BASE_DIR": "./rag"
      }
    }
  }
}

Querying Agent Docs

Once configured, agents can query the RAG index to understand native formats. For example:

"Search the RAG for opencode rules format" "Search the RAG for claude-code memory configuration" "Search the RAG for cline plugin setup"

Each file includes frontmatter with the original source URL and scrape timestamp, making it easy to refresh individual pages when docs change.
