Tauri Documentation MCP sunucusu

tauri-docs-mcp

A read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for resolving and querying a checked-in snapshot of official Tauri 2 documentation.

Requirements

• Node.js 20.19 or newer (supported Node LTS)
• npm 10 or newer

The committed package-lock.json is authoritative. Use npm install for local development and dependency changes; CI and reproducible installs use npm ci. Lockfile changes must be committed with dependency changes.

Install and run

Install the published package:

npm install --global tauri-docs-mcp

Or install it in a project and invoke the binary from node_modules/.bin:

npm install tauri-docs-mcp
npx tauri-docs-mcp

Build from a checkout, then run the compiled stdio server:

npm install
npm run build
node dist/src/index.js

Configure an MCP client to launch the installed binary over stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tauri-docs": {
      "command": "tauri-docs-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Portable configurations for generic MCP clients, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code are in examples/mcp/. They pin the package version and use stdio only. Installable agent guidance is in skills/tauri-docs-mcp/SKILL.md.

The server writes MCP JSON-RPC messages only to stdout. It does not start an HTTP listener. Diagnostics are disabled by default; opt in with TAURI_DOCS_MCP_DIAGNOSTICS=1 and they are written to stderr as event names only (never request arguments, corpus content, secrets, or PII).

Tool contract

The server exposes two stable tools and one backwards-compatible legacy tool.

resolve_tauri_docs

Resolve the default snapshot or an explicit identifier:

{}

{ "identifier": "tauri@2" }

Supported identifiers are tauri, tauri@2, and the immutable snapshot ID tauri-2@58194ceb69424c4332b2780b196ced3a6fffb32b. Resolution is deterministic and returns snapshot, source revision, generated-at, version, and entry-count metadata. Unsupported identifiers return UNSUPPORTED_SNAPSHOT.

query_tauri_docs

Query content from the default or selected snapshot:

{ "query": "capabilities", "snapshot": "tauri@2", "limit": 3 }

query is required and must contain 1–200 non-whitespace characters and at most 16 whitespace-separated terms. snapshot is optional and accepts the resolver identifiers. limit is an optional integer from 1–10 (default 5). Results are bounded, deterministic, and include title, heading, section, canonical URL, content, corpus snapshot, source revision, Tauri version, and versionSensitive. Empty matches return results: [], not an application error. Inputs reject unknown fields.

Both tools are read-only and idempotent. They read only the checked-in corpus; there is no live fetching or arbitrary URL access.

Resource and lifecycle bounds

The shared tool contract enforces a 200-character query, 16 terms, 10 results, 1,200-character snippets, 8 KiB corpus entries, and 32 KiB serialized tool responses. The stdio frame buffer is capped at 64 KiB. EOF, transport errors, SIGINT, and SIGTERM share an idempotent shutdown path with a one-second cleanup bound; in-flight work is allowed to settle or is abandoned at that bound.

search_tauri_docs (compatibility)

Existing clients can continue to call:

{ "query": "capabilities", "limit": 3 }

It remains supported with its existing response shape and limits. New clients should use resolve_tauri_docs followed by query_tauri_docs.

Application errors are returned with stable discriminated codes such as INVALID_INPUT, INVALID_QUERY, INVALID_LIMIT, and UNSUPPORTED_SNAPSHOT; protocol errors remain MCP protocol errors.

Product boundary

This package is intentionally:

• read-only;
• stdio-only;
• limited to its checked-in corpus; and
• constrained to official Tauri 2 sources under https://v2.tauri.app/.

It never fetches user-controlled URLs, writes files, executes arbitrary code, controls a Tauri runtime, provides hosted HTTP, authenticates users, or emits telemetry. See docs/architecture.md for the module seams.

Development commands

npm install          # install from package-lock.json
npm run typecheck    # TypeScript validation
npm run build        # compile runtime files to dist/
npm test             # run the full Vitest suite
npm run lint         # ESLint
npm run format       # format tracked source and documentation
npm run format:check # verify formatting without writing
npm pack --dry-run   # inspect the publish allowlist
npm run package:smoke -- /path/to/tauri-docs-mcp-0.1.0.tgz # test a packed install

The pull-request workflow runs the same commands from a clean checkout. To reproduce its package step locally, create a tarball and pass its path to the smoke test:

mkdir -p .tmp/package
TARBALL=$(npm pack --json --pack-destination .tmp/package | node -e "let s=''; process.stdin.on('data', d => s += d).on('end', () => process.stdout.write(JSON.parse(s)[0].filename))")
npm run package:smoke -- ".tmp/package/$TARBALL"
rm -rf .tmp

See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution rules and SUPPORT.md for supported use cases. Report vulnerabilities privately as described in SECURITY.md.

Releases and registry

The release workflow runs from a version tag and checks package, immutable corpus metadata, registry metadata, and the pack allowlist before publishing. npm publishing uses provenance/trusted publishing where enabled, then runs a fresh published-package smoke gate. Official MCP Registry publication is a separately protected environment chained after the successful npm job. No release is published from pull requests. See CHANGELOG.md for the release and MCP contract-change process.

Corpus maintenance

The runtime reads only the checked-in generated snapshot under corpus/; it never fetches documentation URLs. The approved manifest records canonical URLs, section hierarchy, Tauri version, source revision/freshness metadata, and a SHA-256 hash for each concise excerpt. The source revision is immutable, so a future snapshot must use a new tauri-2@<revision> directory.

After an approved source review, regenerate and validate deterministically:

npm run ingest:docs
npm run validate:corpus

validate:corpus fails if the manifest is unsafe or incomplete, if content hashes drift, or if the generated artifact differs from its manifest. Source and license attribution is preserved in corpus/NOTICES.md.
