Exposes Regle form validation logic as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing LLM clients to invoke validation rules and schema definitions through standardized MCP resource and tool endpoints. The server translates Regle's Vue-based validation framework into language-agnostic MCP protocol messages, enabling AI models to understand and apply form validation constraints without direct Vue dependency.
Unique: Bridges Vue-based form validation (Regle) with MCP protocol, allowing LLMs to natively understand and apply form constraints without reimplementing validation logic. Uses MCP's resource and tool abstractions to expose Regle's declarative validation rules as composable AI capabilities.
vs alternatives: Enables AI agents to validate forms using existing Regle schemas via MCP, avoiding duplication of validation logic compared to manually describing rules to LLMs or building custom validation endpoints.
Registers Regle validation rules as callable MCP tools, allowing LLM clients to invoke specific validators (required, email, minLength, custom rules) with typed parameters. The server introspects Regle schema definitions and generates MCP tool schemas that describe each validator's signature, constraints, and error messages, enabling AI models to understand which validators apply to which form fields.
Unique: Automatically generates MCP tool schemas from Regle validator definitions, allowing LLMs to discover and invoke validators with proper type hints and constraints without manual tool registration. Uses introspection to keep tool definitions in sync with Regle schema changes.
vs alternatives: More maintainable than manually defining validation tools for each field type — schema changes automatically propagate to LLM tool definitions, whereas custom REST endpoints require manual updates.
Publishes Regle form schemas as MCP resources, allowing LLM clients to read and understand the complete form structure, field definitions, validation rules, and metadata through the MCP resource protocol. The server exposes schemas as queryable resources that clients can fetch to build context about form requirements before processing user input.
Unique: Exposes Regle schemas as MCP resources rather than embedding them in tool descriptions, allowing LLMs to fetch schema details on-demand and maintain a persistent understanding of form structure across multiple validation calls. Separates schema knowledge from validator tools.
vs alternatives: More efficient than passing full schema context with every tool call — LLMs can fetch schema once and reuse it, reducing token overhead compared to embedding schema in each validator tool definition.
Executes Regle's validation logic (required, email, minLength, pattern, custom rules) within the MCP server process when invoked by LLM clients, returning structured validation results with error messages and field-level details. The server maintains Regle's validation semantics (async support, custom validators, error formatting) while translating results into MCP-compatible response formats.
Unique: Runs Regle validators server-side via MCP, preserving Regle's validation semantics (async support, custom rules, error formatting) while making them accessible to LLM clients without Vue dependency. Decouples validation logic from UI framework.
vs alternatives: More reliable than asking LLMs to validate forms based on rule descriptions — uses actual Regle validators, ensuring validation behavior matches production Vue forms exactly.
Provides server initialization, configuration, and lifecycle hooks for the MCP server instance, including startup, shutdown, and resource/tool registration. The server handles MCP protocol handshake, capability negotiation, and client connection management, allowing developers to configure which Regle schemas and validators are exposed to connected LLM clients.
Unique: Provides standard MCP server lifecycle management (init, register tools/resources, handle client connections) tailored for Regle schema exposure. Abstracts MCP protocol details from developers configuring form validation services.
vs alternatives: Simpler than building a custom MCP server from scratch — handles protocol boilerplate and resource registration automatically, allowing developers to focus on schema configuration.
Generates code suggestions as developers type by leveraging OpenAI Codex, a large language model trained on public code repositories. The system integrates directly into editor processes (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim) via language server protocol extensions, streaming partial completions to the editor buffer with latency-optimized inference. Suggestions are ranked by relevance scoring and filtered based on cursor context, file syntax, and surrounding code patterns.
Unique: Integrates Codex inference directly into editor processes via LSP extensions with streaming partial completions, rather than polling or batch processing. Ranks suggestions using relevance scoring based on file syntax, surrounding context, and cursor position—not just raw model output.
vs alternatives: Faster suggestion latency than Tabnine or IntelliCode for common patterns because Codex was trained on 54M public GitHub repositories, providing broader coverage than alternatives trained on smaller corpora.
Generates complete functions, classes, and multi-file code structures by analyzing docstrings, type hints, and surrounding code context. The system uses Codex to synthesize implementations that match inferred intent from comments and signatures, with support for generating test cases, boilerplate, and entire modules. Context is gathered from the active file, open tabs, and recent edits to maintain consistency with existing code style and patterns.
Unique: Synthesizes multi-file code structures by analyzing docstrings, type hints, and surrounding context to infer developer intent, then generates implementations that match inferred patterns—not just single-line completions. Uses open editor tabs and recent edits to maintain style consistency across generated code.
vs alternatives: Generates more semantically coherent multi-file structures than Tabnine because Codex was trained on complete GitHub repositories with full context, enabling cross-file pattern matching and dependency inference.
GitHub Copilot scores higher at 28/100 vs @regle/mcp-server at 26/100. @regle/mcp-server leads on ecosystem, while GitHub Copilot is stronger on quality.

Analyzes pull requests and diffs to identify code quality issues, potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and style inconsistencies. The system reviews changed code against project patterns and best practices, providing inline comments and suggestions for improvement. Analysis includes performance implications, maintainability concerns, and architectural alignment with existing codebase.
Unique: Analyzes pull request diffs against project patterns and best practices, providing inline suggestions with architectural and performance implications—not just style checking or syntax validation.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than traditional linters because it understands semantic patterns and architectural concerns, enabling suggestions for design improvements and maintainability enhancements.
Generates comprehensive documentation from source code by analyzing function signatures, docstrings, type hints, and code structure. The system produces documentation in multiple formats (Markdown, HTML, Javadoc, Sphinx) and can generate API documentation, README files, and architecture guides. Documentation is contextualized by language conventions and project structure, with support for customizable templates and styles.
Unique: Generates comprehensive documentation in multiple formats by analyzing code structure, docstrings, and type hints, producing contextualized documentation for different audiences—not just extracting comments.
vs alternatives: More flexible than static documentation generators because it understands code semantics and can generate narrative documentation alongside API references, enabling comprehensive documentation from code alone.
Analyzes selected code blocks and generates natural language explanations, docstrings, and inline comments using Codex. The system reverse-engineers intent from code structure, variable names, and control flow, then produces human-readable descriptions in multiple formats (docstrings, markdown, inline comments).
