🏗️ Project Root Resolution Policy

Overview

All tools in the Kotlin MCP Server have been refactored to work exclusively on the user's project workspace, never on the MCP server's current working directory. This ensures safe, predictable tool behavior and prevents accidental modifications outside your project.

Path Resolution Priority

Tools resolve the project root in this order:

Explicit Input: project_root or projectRoot parameter
Environment Variables: PROJECT_PATH or WORKSPACE_PATH
IDE Metadata: Workspace root from MCP client (VS Code, Cursor, etc.)
Fail-Safe: Tools will error rather than use server CWD

Input Synonyms

Tools accept both camelCase and snake_case parameter names:

// Both formats work identically
{
  "project_root": "/path/to/project",
  "file_path": "src/main.kt",
  "build_tool": "gradle",
  "skip_tests": false
}

{
  "projectRoot": "/path/to/project", 
  "filePath": "src/main.kt",
  "buildTool": "gradle",
  "skipTests": false
}

IDE Integration Defaults

When using IDE extensions (VS Code, Cursor), tools automatically detect:

Workspace Root: Active workspace directory
Active File: Currently open file for file-based operations
Selection: Text selection for refactoring operations

Security Safeguards

Path Traversal Protection: All file paths validated to be under project root
Server CWD Guard: Runtime checks prevent accidental server directory operations
Audit Logging: All tool operations logged with project context

Example Tool Calls

With Explicit Project Root:

{
  "tool": "buildAndTest",
  "input": {
    "project_root": "/Users/dev/MyAndroidApp",
    "buildTool": "gradle",
    "skipTests": false
  }
}

With Environment Variable:

export PROJECT_PATH=/Users/dev/MyAndroidApp
# Tool calls without project_root will use environment

IDE Auto-Detection:

{
  "tool": "analyzeCodeQuality",
  "input": {
    "scope": "project",
    "ruleset": "all"
  }
}
// Uses active workspace automatically

Error Handling

Tools provide clear errors when project root cannot be resolved:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "ProjectRootRequired: pass `project_root` or set env PROJECT_PATH",
  "error_type": "ProjectRootRequired"
}

🛠️ Tool Usage Best Practices

File Path Conventions

Always use relative paths from your project root:

# ✅ Correct
"file_path": "src/main/kotlin/com/example/User.kt"

# ❌ Incorrect  
"file_path": "/absolute/path/to/User.kt"

Package Naming

Follow Android package naming conventions:

# ✅ Correct
"package_name": "com.company.app.feature.user"

# ❌ Incorrect
"package_name": "User.Package"

Security Best Practices

Always use encryption for sensitive data
Implement proper compliance features from the start
Use secure storage for API keys and secrets
Enable audit logging for compliance requirements

Performance Optimization

Use parallel: true for Gradle builds when possible
Generate tests incrementally rather than all at once
Use local LLM providers for privacy-sensitive code analysis
Enable caching for API setups

Error Handling

All tools provide comprehensive error information:

{
  "success": false,

code --install-extension ms-python.python

Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config_vscode.json with the correct paths. Simply add to VS Code settings.json (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"):

{
  "mcp.server.configFiles": [
    "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json"
  ],
  "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/usr/bin/python3",
  "python.linting.enabled": true,
  "python.formatting.provider": "black",
  "python.sortImports.path": "isort"
}

💡 Pro Tip: The installation script provides the exact path you need to use.

Workspace Settings (.vscode/settings.json):

{
  "python.pythonPath": "python3",
  "mcp.server.autoStart": true,
  "mcp.server.logLevel": "info"
}

JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio)

Install Required Plugins:
- Go to File > Settings > Plugins (Windows/Linux) or IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences > Plugins (Mac)
- Search and install "MCP" plugin from marketplace
- Install "Python" plugin if not already available
Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config.json with proper configuration. In your IDE:
- Go to File > Settings > Tools > MCP Server
- Click + to add new server:
  - Name: Your custom server name (as configured during installation)
  - Configuration File: Select the generated mcp_config.json
  - Auto Start: Enable

Android Studio Specific:

<!-- Add to .idea/workspace.xml -->
<component name="MCPServerManager">
  <option name="servers">
    <server name="your-server-name" configFile="mcp_config.json" autoStart="true"/>
  </option>
</component>

💡 Note: Replace your-server-name with the server name you chose during installation.

Claude Desktop

Configuration File Location:
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Configuration Content: Simply copy the content from the generated mcp_config_claude.json file to your Claude Desktop configuration file. The installation script has already configured all paths and settings correctly.

Example of generated configuration:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-name": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["kotlin_mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/kotlin-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_PATH": "${workspaceRoot}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
✅ Ready to Use: No manual path updates needed - everything is pre-configured!

Cursor IDE

Install Extensions:
- Same extensions as VS Code (Cursor is VS Code-based)
- Python, Pylint, Black Formatter, isort

Configuration: Use the same mcp_config_vscode.json configuration as VS Code. Add to Cursor's settings.json:

{
  "mcp.server.configFiles": [
    "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json"
  ]
}

VS Code Bridge Server (Alternative Integration)

For VS Code extensions that need HTTP API access to MCP tools, the project includes a bridge server.

1. Start the Bridge Server:

# Default port (8080)
python3 vscode_bridge.py

# Custom port
python3 vscode_bridge.py 8081

# With environment configuration
MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080 python3 vscode_bridge.py

2. Health Check:

# Test server is running
curl http://localhost:8080/health

# Expected response:
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "current_workspace": "/path/to/current/workspace",
  "available_tools": [
    "gradle_build",
    "run_tests", 
    "create_kotlin_file",
    "create_layout_file",
    "analyze_project"
  ]
}

3. Using the Bridge API:

# Call MCP tools via HTTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tool": "create_kotlin_file",
    "arguments": {
      "file_path": "src/main/MyClass.kt",
      "content": "class MyClass { }"
    }
  }'

4. VS Code Extension Integration:

// In your VS Code extension
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tool: 'analyze_project',
    arguments: { analysis_type: 'architecture' }
  })
});

const result = await response.json();

5. Configuration:

# Environment variables for bridge server
MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=localhost     # Server host
MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080          # Server port
VSCODE_WORKSPACE_FOLDER=/path # Override workspace detection

Other IDEs

For IDEs with MCP support:

Vim/Neovim: Use coc-mcp or similar MCP plugins
Emacs: Install mcp-mode package
Sublime Text: Install MCP package via Package Control

🏗️ Project Root Resolution Policy

Overview

Path Resolution Priority

Tools resolve the project root in this order:

Explicit Input: project_root or projectRoot parameter
Environment Variables: PROJECT_PATH or WORKSPACE_PATH
IDE Metadata: Workspace root from MCP client (VS Code, Cursor, etc.)
Fail-Safe: Tools will error rather than use server CWD

Input Synonyms

Tools accept both camelCase and snake_case parameter names:

// Both formats work identically
{
  "project_root": "/path/to/project",
  "file_path": "src/main.kt",
  "build_tool": "gradle",
  "skip_tests": false
}

{
  "projectRoot": "/path/to/project", 
  "filePath": "src/main.kt",
  "buildTool": "gradle",
  "skipTests": false
}

IDE Integration Defaults

When using IDE extensions (VS Code, Cursor), tools automatically detect:

Workspace Root: Active workspace directory
Active File: Currently open file for file-based operations
Selection: Text selection for refactoring operations

Security Safeguards

Path Traversal Protection: All file paths validated to be under project root
Server CWD Guard: Runtime checks prevent accidental server directory operations
Audit Logging: All tool operations logged with project context

Example Tool Calls

With Explicit Project Root:

{
  "tool": "buildAndTest",
  "input": {
    "project_root": "/Users/dev/MyAndroidApp",
    "buildTool": "gradle",
    "skipTests": false
  }
}

With Environment Variable:

export PROJECT_PATH=/Users/dev/MyAndroidApp
# Tool calls without project_root will use environment

IDE Auto-Detection:

{
  "tool": "analyzeCodeQuality",
  "input": {
    "scope": "project",
    "ruleset": "all"
  }
}
// Uses active workspace automatically

Error Handling

Tools provide clear errors when project root cannot be resolved:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "ProjectRootRequired: pass `project_root` or set env PROJECT_PATH",
  "error_type": "ProjectRootRequired"
}

🛠️ Tool Usage Best Practices

File Path Conventions

Always use relative paths from your project root:

# ✅ Correct
"file_path": "src/main/kotlin/com/example/User.kt"

# ❌ Incorrect  
"file_path": "/absolute/path/to/User.kt"

Package Naming

Follow Android package naming conventions:

# ✅ Correct
"package_name": "com.company.app.feature.user"

# ❌ Incorrect
"package_name": "User.Package"

Security Best Practices

Always use encryption for sensitive data
Implement proper compliance features from the start
Use secure storage for API keys and secrets
Enable audit logging for compliance requirements

Performance Optimization

Use parallel: true for Gradle builds when possible
Generate tests incrementally rather than all at once
Use local LLM providers for privacy-sensitive code analysis
Enable caching for API setups

Error Handling

All tools provide comprehensive error information:

{
  "success": false,

}

💡 Pro Tip: The installation script provides the exact path you need to use.

Workspace Settings (.vscode/settings.json):

{
  "python.pythonPath": "python3",
  "mcp.server.autoStart": true,
  "mcp.server.logLevel": "info"
}

JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio)

Install Required Plugins:
- Go to File > Settings > Plugins (Windows/Linux) or IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences > Plugins (Mac)
- Search and install "MCP" plugin from marketplace
- Install "Python" plugin if not already available
Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config.json with proper configuration. In your IDE:
- Go to File > Settings > Tools > MCP Server
- Click + to add new server:
  - Name: Your custom server name (as configured during installation)
  - Configuration File: Select the generated mcp_config.json
  - Auto Start: Enable

Android Studio Specific:

<!-- Add to .idea/workspace.xml -->
<component name="MCPServerManager">
  <option name="servers">
    <server name="your-server-name" configFile="mcp_config.json" autoStart="true"/>
  </option>
</component>

💡 Note: Replace your-server-name with the server name you chose during installation.

Claude Desktop

Configuration File Location:
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Configuration Content: Simply copy the content from the generated mcp_config_claude.json file to your Claude Desktop configuration file. The installation script has already configured all paths and settings correctly.

Example of generated configuration:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-name": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["kotlin_mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/kotlin-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_PATH": "${workspaceRoot}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
✅ Ready to Use: No manual path updates needed - everything is pre-configured!

Cursor IDE

Install Extensions:
- Same extensions as VS Code (Cursor is VS Code-based)
- Python, Pylint, Black Formatter, isort

Configuration: Use the same mcp_config_vscode.json configuration as VS Code. Add to Cursor's settings.json:

{
  "mcp.server.configFiles": [
    "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json"
  ]
}

VS Code Bridge Server (Alternative Integration)

For VS Code extensions that need HTTP API access to MCP tools, the project includes a bridge server.

1. Start the Bridge Server:

# Default port (8080)
python3 vscode_bridge.py

# Custom port
python3 vscode_bridge.py 8081

# With environment configuration
MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080 python3 vscode_bridge.py

2. Health Check:

# Test server is running
curl http://localhost:8080/health

# Expected response:
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "current_workspace": "/path/to/current/workspace",
  "available_tools": [
    "gradle_build",
    "run_tests", 
    "create_kotlin_file",
    "create_layout_file",
    "analyze_project"
  ]
}

3. Using the Bridge API:

# Call MCP tools via HTTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tool": "create_kotlin_file",
    "arguments": {
      "file_path": "src/main/MyClass.kt",
      "content": "class MyClass { }"
    }
  }'

4. VS Code Extension Integration:

// In your VS Code extension
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tool: 'analyze_project',
    arguments: { analysis_type: 'architecture' }
  })
});

const result = await response.json();

5. Configuration:

# Environment variables for bridge server
MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=localhost     # Server host
MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080          # Server port
VSCODE_WORKSPACE_FOLDER=/path # Override workspace detection

Other IDEs

For IDEs with MCP support:

Vim/Neovim: Use coc-mcp or similar MCP plugins
Emacs: Install mcp-mode package
Sublime Text: Install MCP package via Package Control

Configuration Issues

Using the New Installer (Recommended)

Most configuration issues are now resolved automatically:

# Regenerate configuration with the enhanced installer
python3 install.py

# For specific setup types:
python3 install.py 1 /your/android/project my-server false
python3 install.py --help  # See all options

Legacy Manual Configuration Issues

If you're still using manual configuration from older versions:

# 1. Update to the new installer (recommended)
python3 install.py

# 2. Or manually find your actual paths (legacy method)
cd /path/to/kotlin-mcp-server && pwd
cd /path/to/android/project && pwd

# 3. Update config files - replace ${MCP_SERVER_DIR} with actual path
# Example: Change this
"cwd": "${MCP_SERVER_DIR}"
# To this (your actual path)  
"cwd": "~/Documents/kotlin-mcp-server"

💡 Pro Tip: The new installer eliminates these manual steps entirely!
