feat(service): add MCP STDIO transport for AI assistant integration#599
Conversation
Implement McpTransport that exposes NeoHaskell service commands as MCP tools and queries as MCP resources over JSON-RPC 2.0 on stdin/stdout. AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) can discover and invoke any NeoHaskell service with zero changes to existing definitions. - ADR-0052 documents the architecture and protocol mapping - Commands map to MCP tools, queries map to MCP resources - CQRS-aware responses guide AI to query for state after commands - Two-tier error model: business errors in CallToolResult, protocol errors as JSON-RPC errors - Anonymous auth (local subprocess, no JWT needed) - Pre-cached tools/list and resources/list responses - 74 new tests across 4 spec modules Closes #598

In @.gitignore:
- Line 64: The .gitignore currently blanket-ignores the docs/architecture/
directory which will hide architecture docs and ADRs; remove the
docs/architecture/ rule or replace it with a narrower pattern that only ignores
generated artifacts (e.g., target/generated files) so hand-written architecture
files remain tracked; update the gitignore entry referencing
"docs/architecture/" to either delete it or change it to a scoped pattern like
only matching known generated filenames or subdirectories.
In @.hlint.yaml:
- Line 73: Update the brace spacing in .hlint.yaml for the ignore entry so it
conforms to the brace-spacing rule: locate the ignore: { name: Redundant id }
entry and remove the spaces inside the braces (change to ignore: {name:
Redundant id}) so YAMLlint stops reporting the brace-spacing violation.
In `@core/service/Service/Transport/Mcp.hs`:
- Around line 66-70: The current assembleTransport implementation is a no-op
(returns Task.yield unit) and drops all Endpoints, so implement a real MCP
transport: replace the Task.yield unit in assembleTransport with code that wires
the provided Endpoints McpTransport into an event loop which reads JSON-RPC
messages from stdin, parses requests, routes them to the appropriate handler in
the Endpoints value (by method name), executes the handler, and writes JSON-RPC
responses to stdout; ensure errors are caught and logged, requests without
handlers return proper error responses, and the loop runs continuously (use
Task.forever or similar) so MCP can read, route, and write responses instead of
returning immediately.
In `@core/service/Service/Transport/Mcp/JsonRpc.hs`:
- Around line 174-179: The response encoder currently omits
JsonRpcError.errorData when serializing response.error (see the code path
building the "error" object), so update the encoder for the error branch (where
response.error is Just err) to include the structured errorData (err.errorData)
as a "data" field in the emitted JSON alongside "code" and "message"; ensure the
encoder handles Nothing vs Just for errorData (omit the "data" property when
absent or serialize its value when present) so the JsonRpcError contract is
preserved.
- Around line 67-73: Aeson.decodeStrict' rawBytes currently treats any
non-Nothing decode as an object; change the match so that Just (Aeson.Object
obj) continues to check AesonKeyMap.lookup (AesonKey.fromText "jsonrpc") on obj,
but any other Just _ (e.g., array, number, string) returns Err (errorResponse
Nothing (invalidRequest "Non-object JSON-RPC request")), while Nothing still
returns Err (errorResponse Nothing (parseError "Malformed JSON")). Keep usages
of Aeson.decodeStrict', Aeson.Object pattern, AesonKeyMap.lookup,
AesonKey.fromText, errorResponse, parseError and invalidRequest to locate and
update the logic.
In `@core/service/Service/Transport/Mcp/Protocol.hs`:
- Around line 205-215: stripPrefix leaves the query string ("?…") attached to
queryName so the Map lookup on state.queryEndpoints fails; before using
queryName to lookup the endpoint and before taking the filter-extraction path,
split or parse queryName (from GhcText.stripPrefix) into a baseName and
queryParams (e.g. split on '?' or use an existing query parser), use baseName
for Map.get on state.queryEndpoints, then parse queryParams into the filter
structure and pass those parsed filters into the queryHandler invocation (adjust
the call site where queryHandler is invoked to accept the parsed filters instead
of Nothing).
- Around line 165-175: Wrap the Auth.anonymousContext call and the handler/query
invocation in error-catching Tasks and, instead of letting the Task fail, return
Task.succeed (JsonRpc.errorResponse requestId JsonRpc.internalError);
specifically, handle failures from Auth.anonymousContext, from calling handler
(the lambda passed that uses ConcurrentVar.set/get), and from the query handler
path by mapping any error branch to Task.succeed (JsonRpc.errorResponse
requestId JsonRpc.internalError) while leaving the success path to produce
JsonRpc.successResponse requestId ...; apply the same pattern to the other block
referenced (the query handler in the 214–216 area) so all failure paths produce
JsonRpc.errorResponse requestId JsonRpc.internalError.
In `@core/test/Service/Transport/Mcp/JsonRpcSpec.hs`:
- Around line 88-92: The test fixture builds JSON with an incorrect UTF-8 escape
sequence; replace the "\xC3\xA9" byte-sequence with the actual "é" character or
the correct Haskell escape "\xE9" in the input string so parseRequest sees
U+00E9; update the input literal used in the spec (the input variable) and keep
the assertion on req.method (the Text.contains check) expecting "é" (U+00E9) so
the test validates the single character rather than two separate code points.
In `@docs/decisions/0052-mcp-stdio-transport.md`:
- Line 53: Replace the role-specific phrase "Jess must provide both `serverName`
and `serverVersion` explicitly" with a role-neutral actor such as "the
developer" or "the application author" so the sentence reads e.g. "The developer

explicitly — these identify the service to AI clients and should always match
the application's actual name and version." Ensure the identifiers `serverName`

Parse resource query parameters before endpoint lookup.
stripPrefix leaves ?… attached to the query name, so URIs like neohaskell://queries/cart-summary?id=... miss queryEndpoints. This also skips the intended filter extraction path.

Use role-neutral language in the ADR.
“Jess must provide …” should be replaced with a generic actor (“the developer/application author”) to keep the decision record durable and unambiguous.

- Implement real STDIO event loop in assembleTransport (was no-op) - Enforce MCP handshake order: notifications/initialized requires prior initialize request via initReceived tracking - Distinguish non-object valid JSON (-32600) from malformed JSON (-32700) in parseRequest - Include errorData field in JSON-RPC error serialization - Wrap handler Task failures in tools/call and resources/read as JSON-RPC internal errors instead of crashing - Strip query parameters from resource URIs before endpoint lookup - Fix unicode test to use correct Haskell codepoint (\x00E9)
