zio-ella
zio-ella is a framework for writing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for modern AI platforms with Scala 3
and ZIO with zio-http
.
⚠️ The project is in its early phase and is bound to rapid change. Please feel free to reach-out with ideas and use-cases.
Example capabilities and tools definition within a service might look like:
import zio.ZIO
import zio.dev.ella.*
object MyService:
val capabilities = Capabilities(
// Tool that only returns current server time
Tool("get-time") -> { _ =>
zio.Clock.instant.map(_.toString)
},
// Exemple tool to get where we accept city as an argument.
Tool("get-weather", ArgDef.string("city")) -> {
_.string("city").flatMap(city => ZIO.succeed(s"Weather in $city is sunny!"))
}
)
def run = MCPServer(capabilities).run
Integration with the ZIO Stack as follows:
object Main extends ZIOAppDefault:
def program = for
_ <- logInfo("Booting...")
_ <- MyService.run
yield ()
def configuredServer: TaskLayer[Server] =
ZLayer
.fromZIO(ZIO.config(Config.int("port")).tap(port => logInfo(s"Starting server on port $port")))
.flatMap(portEnv => Server.defaultWithPort(portEnv.get))
def run = program.provide(configuredServer)
Resources
Recommended Servers
playwright-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server that enables LLMs to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots without requiring vision models or screenshots.
Magic Component Platform (MCP)
An AI-powered tool that generates modern UI components from natural language descriptions, integrating with popular IDEs to streamline UI development workflow.
MCP Package Docs Server
Facilitates LLMs to efficiently access and fetch structured documentation for packages in Go, Python, and NPM, enhancing software development with multi-language support and performance optimization.
Claude Code MCP
An implementation of Claude Code as a Model Context Protocol server that enables using Claude's software engineering capabilities (code generation, editing, reviewing, and file operations) through the standardized MCP interface.
@kazuph/mcp-taskmanager
Model Context Protocol server for Task Management. This allows Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to manage and execute tasks in a queue-based system.
Linear MCP Server
Enables interaction with Linear's API for managing issues, teams, and projects programmatically through the Model Context Protocol.
mermaid-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts Mermaid diagrams to PNG images.
Jira-Context-MCP
MCP server to provide Jira Tickets information to AI coding agents like Cursor

Linear MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server that integrates with Linear's issue tracking system, allowing LLMs to create, update, search, and comment on Linear issues through natural language interactions.

Sequential Thinking MCP Server
This server facilitates structured problem-solving by breaking down complex issues into sequential steps, supporting revisions, and enabling multiple solution paths through full MCP integration.
