Package search now prioritizes results in this order: 1. Exact pname match 2. Exact attr_path match 3. pname starts with query 4. attr_path starts with query 5. FTS ranking (bm25 for SQLite, ts_rank for PostgreSQL) This ensures searching for "git" returns the "git" package first, rather than packages that merely mention "git" in their description. Also update CLAUDE.md to clarify using `nix run` instead of `go build -o` for testing binaries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# CLAUDE.md - Project Context
|
|
|
|
This file provides context for Claude when working on this project.
|
|
|
|
## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
**LabMCP** is a collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers written in Go, designed to extend Claude's capabilities with custom tools. The repository is structured to be generic and extensible, allowing multiple MCP servers to be added over time.
|
|
|
|
## MCP Servers
|
|
|
|
### Nixpkgs Search (`nixpkgs-search`) - **Primary**
|
|
Combined search for NixOS options and Nix packages from nixpkgs. Provides two separate MCP servers:
|
|
- **Options server**: Search NixOS configuration options (`nixpkgs-search options serve`)
|
|
- **Packages server**: Search Nix packages (`nixpkgs-search packages serve`)
|
|
|
|
### NixOS Options (`nixos-options`) - Legacy
|
|
Search and query NixOS configuration options. Uses nixpkgs as source.
|
|
*Note: Prefer using `nixpkgs-search options` instead.*
|
|
|
|
### Home Manager Options (`hm-options`)
|
|
Search and query Home Manager configuration options. Uses home-manager repository as source.
|
|
|
|
All servers share the same architecture:
|
|
- Full-text search across option/package names and descriptions
|
|
- Query specific options/packages with full metadata
|
|
- Index multiple revisions (by git hash or channel name)
|
|
- Fetch module source files
|
|
- PostgreSQL and SQLite backends
|
|
|
|
## Technology Stack
|
|
|
|
- **Language**: Go 1.24+
|
|
- **Build System**: Nix flakes
|
|
- **Databases**: PostgreSQL and SQLite (both fully supported)
|
|
- **Protocol**: MCP (Model Context Protocol) - JSON-RPC over STDIO or HTTP/SSE
|
|
- **Module Path**: `git.t-juice.club/torjus/labmcp`
|
|
|
|
## Project Status
|
|
|
|
**Complete and maintained** - All core features implemented:
|
|
- Full MCP servers with 6 tools each
|
|
- PostgreSQL and SQLite backends with FTS
|
|
- NixOS modules for deployment
|
|
- CLI for manual operations
|
|
- Comprehensive test suite
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Key Implementation Details
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
- Schema versioning with automatic recreation on version mismatch
|
|
- Full-text search: SQLite FTS5, PostgreSQL tsvector/GIN
|
|
- Path-based queries use LIKE for exact prefix matching
|
|
- Batch operations for efficient indexing
|
|
|
|
### Indexing
|
|
- Uses `nix-build` to evaluate options from any revision
|
|
- File indexing downloads tarball and stores allowed extensions (.nix, .json, .md, etc.)
|
|
- File indexing enabled by default (use `--no-files` to skip)
|
|
- Skips already-indexed revisions (use `--force` to re-index)
|
|
|
|
### Transports
|
|
- **STDIO**: Default transport, line-delimited JSON-RPC (for CLI/desktop MCP clients)
|
|
- **HTTP**: Streamable HTTP transport with SSE (for web-based MCP clients)
|
|
- Session management with cryptographically secure IDs
|
|
- Configurable CORS (localhost-only by default)
|
|
- Optional TLS support
|
|
- SSE keepalive messages (15s default)
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- Revision parameter validated against strict regex to prevent Nix injection
|
|
- Path traversal protection using `filepath.Clean()` and `filepath.IsAbs()`
|
|
- NixOS module supports `connectionStringFile` for PostgreSQL secrets
|
|
- Systemd service runs with extensive hardening options
|
|
- HTTP transport hardening:
|
|
- Request body size limit (1MB default)
|
|
- Server timeouts (read: 30s, write: 30s, idle: 120s, header: 10s)
|
|
- Maximum session limit (10,000 default)
|
|
- Origin validation for CORS
|
|
|
|

## Notes for Claude
|
|
|
|
### Development Workflow
|
|
- **Always run `go fmt ./...` before committing Go code**
|
|
- **Run Go commands using `nix develop -c`** (e.g., `nix develop -c go test ./...`)
|
|
- **Use `nix run` to run/test binaries** (e.g., `nix run .#nixpkgs-search -- options serve`)
|
|
- Do NOT use `go build -o /tmp/...` to test binaries - always use `nix run`
|
|
- Remember: modified files must be tracked by git for `nix run` to see them
|
|
- File paths in responses should use format `path/to/file.go:123`
|
|
|
|
### Linting
|
|
**Before completing work on a feature**, run all linting tools to ensure code quality:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run all linters (should report 0 issues)
|
|
nix develop -c golangci-lint run ./...
|
|
|
|
# Check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies
|
|
nix develop -c govulncheck ./...
|
|
|
|
# Run go vet for additional static analysis
|
|
nix develop -c go vet ./...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All three tools should pass with no issues before merging a feature branch.
|
|
|
|
### Nix Build Requirement
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: When running `nix build`, `nix run`, or similar commands, new files must be tracked by git first. Nix flakes only see git-tracked files. If you create new files, run `git add <file>` before attempting nix operations.
|
|
|
|
### Version Bumping
|
|
Version bumps should be done once per feature branch, not per commit. Rules:
|
|
- **Patch bump** (0.1.0 → 0.1.1): Changes to Go code within `internal/` that affect a program
|
|
- **Minor bump** (0.1.0 → 0.2.0): Changes to Go code outside `internal/` (e.g., `cmd/`)
|
|
- **Major bump** (0.1.0 → 1.0.0): Breaking changes to CLI usage or MCP protocol
|
|
|
|
Version is defined in multiple places that must stay in sync:
|
|
- `cmd/nixpkgs-search/main.go`
|
|
- `cmd/nixos-options/main.go`
|
|
- `cmd/hm-options/main.go`
|
|
- `internal/mcp/server.go` (in `DefaultNixOSConfig`, `DefaultHomeManagerConfig`, `DefaultNixpkgsPackagesConfig`)
|
|
- `nix/package.nix`
|
|
|
|
### User Preferences
|
|
- User prefers PostgreSQL over SQLite (has homelab infrastructure)
|
|
- User values good test coverage and benchmarking
|
|
- Project should remain generic to support future MCP servers
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run all tests
|
|
nix develop -c go test ./... -short
|
|
|
|
# Run with verbose output
|
|
nix develop -c go test ./... -v
|
|
|
|
# Run benchmarks (requires nix-build)
|
|
nix develop -c go test -bench=. -benchtime=1x -timeout=30m ./internal/nixos/...
|
|
nix develop -c go test -bench=. -benchtime=1x -timeout=30m ./internal/homemanager/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build with nix
|
|
nix build .#nixpkgs-search
|
|
nix build .#nixos-options
|
|
nix build .#hm-options
|
|
|
|
# Run directly
|
|
nix run .#nixpkgs-search -- options serve
|
|
nix run .#nixpkgs-search -- packages serve
|
|
nix run .#nixpkgs-search -- index nixos-unstable
|
|
nix run .#hm-options -- serve
|
|
nix run .#hm-options -- index hm-unstable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Indexing Performance
|
|
Indexing operations are slow due to Nix evaluation and file downloads. When running index commands, use appropriate timeouts:
|
|
- **nixpkgs-search (full)**: ~15-20 minutes for `nixos-unstable` (options + packages + files)
|
|
- **nixpkgs-search (options only)**: ~5-6 minutes with `--no-packages`
|
|
- **nixpkgs-search (packages only)**: ~10-15 minutes with `--no-options`
|
|
- **hm-options**: ~1-2 minutes for `master` (with files)
|
|
|
|
Use `--no-files` flag to skip file indexing for faster results.
|
|
Use `--no-packages` to index only options (matches legacy behavior).
