🚀 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.

ARC MCP Bridge

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"
      }
    }
  }
}
