🚀 ARC Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: AI-Powered Development

Bridging AI Models with ARC's Enterprise Application Framework

🌟 Overview

The ARC Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server revolutionizes how developers interact with the ARC framework by creating a seamless bridge between powerful AI models (like Claude, GPT, and others) and ARC's robust ecosystem for building cloud-native enterprise applications.

This innovative implementation follows the Model Context Protocol specification, enabling AI assistants to directly leverage ARC's capabilities, accelerating development cycles and enhancing productivity across your organization.

🛠️ Tool Suite

The ARC MCP Server exposes a comprehensive set of tools that empower AI models to assist with every aspect of the application development lifecycle:

📚 Documentation Assistant

Tool: arc.docs.search

Transform how your team accesses and utilizes ARC documentation:

• ✅ Contextual Knowledge: Get precise explanations of ARC concepts tailored to your specific use case
• ✅ Code Examples: Receive relevant code snippets that solve your exact problem
• ✅ Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose issues with documentation-backed solutions
• ✅ Best Practices: Learn recommended approaches directly from official guidelines

// Example: AI assistant helping with authentication concepts
{
  "toolId": "arc.docs.search",
  "parameters": {
    "query": "authentication service configuration",
    "category": "api",
    "maxResults": 3
  }
}

🔐 API Microservices Integration

Tools: arc.api.authentication, arc.api.notification, and more

Interact directly with ARC microservices through natural language:

• ✅ Authentication Operations: Test login flows, verify tokens, and manage sessions
• ✅ Notification Management: Configure and trigger notifications across channels
• ✅ Data Operations: Query and manipulate data through repository services
• ✅ Workflow Execution: Trigger and monitor business processes

// Example: AI assistant helping test authentication
{
  "toolId": "arc.api.authentication",
  "parameters": {
    "action": "verifyToken",
    "token": "your-jwt-token"
  }
}

🏗️ Project Generation & Scaffolding

Tool: arc.generator.microservice

Accelerate development with AI-powered code generation:

• ✅ Microservice Scaffolding: Generate complete microservice structures from descriptions
• ✅ Model Creation: Define data models through conversation
• ✅ API Design: Create controllers and endpoints based on requirements
• ✅ Business Logic: Implement common patterns and workflows automatically

// Example: AI assistant generating a payment service
{
  "toolId": "arc.generator.microservice",
  "parameters": {
    "name": "payment-service",
    "features": ["database", "authentication", "api"],
    "models": [
      {
        "name": "Payment",
        "properties": {
          "id": "string",
          "amount": "number",
          "status": "string"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

☁️ Deployment Assistance

Tool: arc.deployment.infrastructure

Streamline your path to production:

• ✅ Infrastructure as Code: Generate deployment templates for AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.
• ✅ CI/CD Configuration: Set up automated pipelines with best practices
• ✅ Environment Setup: Configure development, staging, and production environments
• ✅ Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve deployment issues

// Example: AI assistant helping with AWS deployment
{
  "toolId": "arc.deployment.infrastructure",
  "parameters": {
    "projectPath": "./my-arc-project",
    "platform": "aws",
    "options": {
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "resources": {
        "cpu": "1",
        "memory": "2GB"
      }
    }
  }
}
