| 1 | +//! Cookbook of common patterns for building ACP components. |
| 2 | +//! |
| 3 | +//! This module contains documented examples of patterns that come up |
| 4 | +//! frequently when building agents, proxies, and other ACP components. |
| 5 | +//! |
| 6 | +//! # Roles and Endpoints |
| 7 | +//! |
| 8 | +//! ACP connections are typed by their *role*, which captures both "who I am" |
| 9 | +//! and "who I'm talking to". Roles implement [`JrRole`] and determine what |
| 10 | +//! operations are valid on a connection. |
| 11 | +//! |
| 12 | +//! ## Endpoints |
| 13 | +//! |
| 14 | +//! *Endpoints* ([`JrEndpoint`]) are logical destinations for messages: |
| 15 | +//! |
| 16 | +//! - [`Client`] - The client endpoint (IDE, CLI, etc.) |
| 17 | +//! - [`Agent`] - The agent endpoint (AI-powered component) |
| 18 | +//! - [`Conductor`] - The conductor endpoint (orchestrates proxy chains) |
| 19 | +//! |
| 20 | +//! Most roles have a single implicit endpoint, but proxies can send to |
| 21 | +//! multiple endpoints. Use [`send_request_to`] and [`send_notification_to`] |
| 22 | +//! to specify the destination explicitly. |
| 23 | +//! |
| 24 | +//! ## Role Types |
| 25 | +//! |
| 26 | +//! The built-in role types are: |
| 27 | +//! |
| 28 | +//! | Role | Description | Can send to | |
| 29 | +//! |------|-------------|-------------| |
| 30 | +//! | [`ClientToAgent`] | Client's connection to an agent | `Agent` | |
| 31 | +//! | [`AgentToClient`] | Agent's connection to a client | `Client` | |
| 32 | +//! | [`ProxyToConductor`] | Proxy's connection to the conductor | `Client`, `Agent` | |
| 33 | +//! | [`ConductorToClient`] | Conductor's connection to a client | `Client`, `Agent` | |
| 34 | +//! | [`ConductorToProxy`] | Conductor's connection to a proxy | `Agent` | |
| 35 | +//! | [`ConductorToAgent`] | Conductor's connection to the final agent | `Agent` | |
| 36 | +//! | [`UntypedRole`] | Generic role for testing/dynamic scenarios | any | |
| 37 | +//! |
| 38 | +//! ## Proxies and Multiple Endpoints |
| 39 | +//! |
| 40 | +//! A proxy sits between client and agent, so it needs to send messages in |
| 41 | +//! both directions. [`ProxyToConductor`] implements `HasEndpoint<Client>` and |
| 42 | +//! `HasEndpoint<Agent>`, allowing it to forward messages appropriately: |
| 43 | +//! |
| 44 | +//! ```ignore |
| 45 | +//! // Forward a request toward the agent |
| 46 | +//! cx.send_request_to(Agent, request).forward_to_request_cx(request_cx)?; |
| 47 | +//! |
| 48 | +//! // Send a notification toward the client |
| 49 | +//! cx.send_notification_to(Client, notification)?; |
| 50 | +//! ``` |
| 51 | +//! |
| 52 | +//! When sending to `Agent` from a proxy, messages are automatically wrapped |
| 53 | +//! in [`SuccessorMessage`] envelopes. When receiving from `Agent`, they're |
| 54 | +//! automatically unwrapped. |
| 55 | +//! |

| 89 | + //! Pattern: Defining reusable components. |
| 90 | + //! |
| 91 | + //! When building agents or proxies, define a struct that implements [`Component`]. |
| 92 | + //! Internally, use the role's `builder()` method to set up handlers. |
| 93 | + //! |
| 94 | + //! # Example |
| 95 | + //! |
| 96 | + //! ```ignore |
| 97 | + //! use sacp::{Component, AgentToClient}; |
| 98 | + //! use sacp::schema::{PromptRequest, PromptResponse}; |
| 99 | + //! |
| 100 | + //! struct MyAgent { |
| 101 | + //! config: AgentConfig, |
| 102 | + //! } |
| 103 | + //! |
| 104 | + //! impl Component for MyAgent { |
| 105 | + //! async fn serve(self, client: impl Component) -> Result<(), sacp::Error> { |
| 106 | + //! AgentToClient::builder() |
| 107 | + //! .name("my-agent") |
| 108 | + //! .on_receive_request(async move |req: PromptRequest, request_cx, cx| { |
| 109 | + //! let response = self.process_prompt(&req).await?; |
| 110 | + //! request_cx.respond(response) |
| 111 | + //! }, sacp::on_receive_request!()) |
| 112 | + //! .serve(client) |
| 113 | + //! .await |
| 114 | + //! } |
| 115 | + //! } |
| 116 | + //! ``` |
| 117 | + //! |
| 118 | + //! # Important: Don't block the event loop |
| 119 | + //! |
| 120 | + //! Message handlers run on the event loop. Blocking in a handler prevents the |
| 121 | + //! connection from processing new messages. For expensive work: |
| 122 | + //! |
| 123 | + //! - Use [`JrConnectionCx::spawn`] to offload work to a background task |
| 124 | + //! - Use [`on_receiving_result`] to schedule work when a response arrives |
| 125 | + //! |
| 126 | + //! [`Component`]: crate::Component |

| 132 | + //! Pattern: Custom message handlers. |
| 133 | + //! |
| 134 | + //! For reusable message handling logic, implement [`JrMessageHandler`] and use |
| 135 | + //! [`MatchMessage`] or [`MatchMessageFrom`] for type-safe dispatching. |
| 136 | + //! |
| 137 | + //! # Example |
| 138 | + //! |
| 139 | + //! ```ignore |
| 140 | + //! use std::sync::Arc; |
| 141 | + //! use tokio::sync::Mutex; |

| 154 | + //! message: MessageCx, |
| 155 | + //! cx: JrConnectionCx<Self::Role>, |

| 157 | + //! MatchMessage::new(message) |
| 158 | + //! .if_request(async |req: MyRequest, request_cx| { |
| 159 | + //! let mut state = self.state.lock().await; |
| 160 | + //! state.count += 1; |
| 161 | + //! request_cx.respond(MyResponse { count: state.count }) |
| 162 | + //! }, sacp::if_request!()) |

| 168 | + //! "MyHandler" |
| 169 | + //! } |
| 170 | + //! } |
| 171 | + //! ``` |
| 172 | + //! |
| 173 | + //! # When to use `MatchMessage` vs `MatchMessageFrom` |
| 174 | + //! |
| 175 | + //! - [`MatchMessage`] - Use when you don't need endpoint-aware handling |
| 176 | + //! - [`MatchMessageFrom`] - Use in proxies where messages come from different |
| 177 | + //! endpoints (`Client` vs `Agent`) and may need different handling |

| 185 | + //! Pattern: Connecting as a client. |
| 186 | + //! |
| 187 | + //! To connect to a JSON-RPC server and send requests, use [`with_client`]. |
| 188 | + //! This gives you a connection context for sending requests while the |
| 189 | + //! connection handles incoming messages in the background. |
| 190 | + //! |
| 191 | + //! # Example |
| 192 | + //! |
| 193 | + //! ```ignore |
| 194 | + //! use sacp::ClientToAgent; |
| 195 | + //! use sacp::schema::{InitializeRequest, NewSessionRequest}; |

| 200 | + //! // Handle notifications from the agent |
| 201 | + //! println!("Session updated: {:?}", notif); |
| 202 | + //! Ok(()) |

| 224 | + //! |
| 225 | + //! # Note on `block_task` |
| 226 | + //! |
| 227 | + //! Using [`block_task`] is safe inside `with_client` because the closure runs |
| 228 | + //! as a spawned task, not on the event loop. The event loop continues processing |
| 229 | + //! messages (including the response you're waiting for) while your task blocks. |

| 235 | +pub mod global_mcp_server { |
| 236 | + //! Pattern: Global MCP server in handler chain. |
| 237 | + //! |
| 238 | + //! Use this pattern when you want a single MCP server that handles tool calls |
| 239 | + //! for all sessions. The server is added to the connection's handler chain and |
| 240 | + //! automatically injects itself into every `NewSessionRequest` that passes through. |
| 241 | + //! |
| 242 | + //! # When to use |
| 243 | + //! |
| 244 | + //! - The MCP server provides stateless tools (no per-session state needed) |
| 245 | + //! - You want the simplest setup with minimal boilerplate |
| 246 | + //! - Tools don't need access to session-specific context |
| 247 | + //! |
| 248 | + //! # Example |
| 249 | + //! |
| 250 | + //! ```ignore |
| 251 | + //! use sacp::mcp_server::McpServer; |
| 252 | + //! use sacp::ProxyToConductor; |

| 266 | + //! # How it works |
| 267 | + //! |
| 268 | + //! When you call [`with_mcp_server`], the MCP server is added as a message |
| 269 | + //! handler. It: |
| 270 | + //! |
| 271 | + //! 1. Intercepts `NewSessionRequest` messages and adds its `acp:UUID` URL to the |
| 272 | + //! request's `mcp_servers` list |
| 273 | + //! 2. Passes the modified request through to the next handler |
| 274 | + //! 3. Handles incoming MCP protocol messages (tool calls, etc.) for its URL |

| 280 | + //! Pattern: Per-session MCP server. |
| 281 | + //! |
| 282 | + //! Use this pattern when each session needs its own MCP server instance, |
| 283 | + //! typically because tools need access to session-specific state or context. |
| 284 | + //! |
| 285 | + //! # When to use |
| 286 | + //! |
| 287 | + //! - Tools need access to the session ID or session-specific state |
| 288 | + //! - You want to customize the MCP server based on session parameters |
| 289 | + //! - Tools need to send notifications back to a specific session |
| 290 | + //! |
| 291 | + //! # Example |
| 292 | + //! |
| 293 | + //! ```ignore |
| 294 | + //! use sacp::mcp_server::McpServer; |
| 295 | + //! use sacp::schema::NewSessionRequest; |
| 296 | + //! use sacp::{Agent, Client, ProxyToConductor}; |
| 297 | + //! |
| 298 | + //! ProxyToConductor::builder() |
| 299 | + //! .on_receive_request_from(Client, async |request: NewSessionRequest, request_cx, cx| { |
