Spotlight MCP
A Model Context Protocol server that exposes
Spotlight to any AI client — so an agent can lint
your API artifacts and work with rulesets conversationally. It runs the same
@spotlight-rules/* engine as spotlight-cli,
over stdio.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
lint_artifact |
Lint an artifact (content, optional format, optional ruleset) → findings (code, message, severity, path) + counts |
list_rulesets |
The built-in rulesets (spotlight:oas, :asyncapi, :arazzo) and their rules |
list_formats |
The artifact formats Spotlight can lint |
validate_ruleset |
Structurally validate a ruleset (alias, object, or YAML/JSON string) |
Use it
npm install
npm start # speaks MCP over stdio
Claude Desktop / any MCP client
Add to your client's MCP server config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"spotlight": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@spotlight-rules/spotlight-mcp"]
}
}
}
Then ask: "Lint this OpenAPI with Spotlight and tell me what to fix."
Part of the Spotlight suite
One engine (the CLI), one vocabulary (the spec + its rule tags): spec · cli · api (HTTP) · mcp (AI, this repo) · vscode · validator. Where spotlight-api is the HTTP surface, this is the AI surface.
