The first version should let Lua scripts expose MCP tools and prompts through a native stdio JSON-RPC loop while reusing yaaf's generated MCP schema registry for protocol-version and method support metadata. + +## Problem + +Yaaf can currently consume MCP servers as a native client and expose discovered MCP tools inside the Lua runtime, but it cannot host an MCP server itself. That blocks an important workflow: writing small MCP servers directly in Lua with the same `yaaf run` experience already used for script-based tools and agents. + +The repository already has: +- a native stdio MCP transport on the client side, +- a thin Lua `mcp` bridge, +- a native tool registry, +- generated MCP schema metadata with prompt and tool methods. + +What is missing is the inverse bridge: a native host loop that reads stdio JSON-RPC requests, negotiates protocol version, dispatches supported server methods into Lua, and exposes a script-authored MCP server surface. + +## Goal + +Enable `yaaf run ` to host an MCP stdio server from Lua, with native handling for stdio transport and JSON-RPC framing, Lua authoring for prompts and tool behavior, and generated-schema-backed support for the initial protocol surface. + +## Scope + +- Add a native MCP host implementation for stdio transport only. +- Extend the built-in `mcp` Lua module with server-hosting APIs for script runs. +- Support MCP initialize flow and initialized notification handling for hosted servers. +- Support `tools/list` and `tools/call` backed by yaaf's existing regular tool integration model, including built-in tools and script-registered tools selected through normal `--tool` flows. +- Support `prompts/list` and `prompts/get` backed by Lua prompt registration and handlers. +- Reuse generated schema metadata to select the advertised protocol version and known hosted methods. +- Add focused mock and integration tests for host protocol behavior and `yaaf run` server execution. +- Document the new Lua MCP server authoring flow and implementation support matrix. +- Add at least one runnable Lua example that behaves as an MCP stdio server. + +## Non-Goals + +- HTTP or SSE MCP server hosting. +- MCP resources, roots, sampling, elicitation, task APIs, logging control, cancellation, batching, or OAuth. +- Full generated-schema request or response JSON validation beyond protocol-version and known-method support. +- Auto-generating a standalone server manifest format outside normal Lua scripts. +- Auto-exposing unrelated remote MCP client tools as hosted tools. + +## Assumptions, Dependencies, And Risks + +- `yaaf run ` remains the entry point; no separate CLI subcommand is required for v1. +- The existing built-in `mcp` module is the right user-facing home for both client and server MCP APIs. +- Hosted tool execution should reuse existing normalized tool result shapes where possible. +- Hosted tools should follow yaaf's regular tool integration model so built-in tools and script-registered tools can be selected and exposed consistently, rather than introducing a separate host-only registry concept. +- Prompt support needs both prompt descriptors and a way to produce prompt messages for `prompts/get`. +- Generated schema support today is metadata-oriented; v1 should use it for protocol and method awareness, not promise full schema validation. +- Stdio server mode must be careful about line-delimited framing, error responses, and clean process exit behavior. + +## Acceptance Criteria + +- [ ] A Lua script launched with `yaaf run` can enter MCP stdio server mode and successfully answer `initialize`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`, `prompts/list`, and `prompts/get`. +- [ ] Hosted tool calls can invoke built-in tools and script-authored registered tools through the existing yaaf tool integration model and return normalized MCP-compatible results. +- [ ] Hosted prompt endpoints can advertise prompt descriptors and return prompt message payloads from Lua. +- [ ] The hosted server advertises the latest supported protocol version from the generated schema registry and only claims the hosted prompt and tool method set implemented in yaaf. +- [ ] Focused mock tests cover request dispatch, method gating, protocol negotiation, and error mapping. +- [ ] Integration tests verify a real stdio-hosted Lua script can be consumed through yaaf's native MCP client path. +- [ ] User-facing docs explain how to author and run a Lua-backed MCP stdio server and clearly list the supported hosted MCP surface. + +## Task Legend + +- `[ ]` not started +- `[-]` in progress +- `[x]` completed +- `[!]` blocked or waiting +- `[?]` user decision required + +## Tracker + +| Phase | Status | Notes | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Discovery | [x] | Host API shape and tool exposure model confirmed | +| Implementation | [-] | Native host loop and Lua bridge in progress | +| Validation | [ ] | Mock and integration coverage passed | +| Documentation | [ ] | Lua and MCP docs plus example updated | + +## Phase 1 -

[ ] Adapt yaaf tool specs and execution results into MCP server tool descriptors and call results. + - [ ] Define prompt descriptor fields and message payload mapping for `prompts/get`. + - [ ] Ensure hosted server mode does not accidentally expose client-configured remote MCP tools as hosted tools. + +## Phase 3 - Validation + +- [ ] Add focused native tests for the hosted MCP protocol path. + - [ ] Extend `tests/mock/mcp_protocol_tests.cpp` with host-side negotiation, dispatch, and error-shape coverage. + - [ ] Extend schema-support tests only where hosted method visibility or registry usage changes are observable. + - [ ] Add cases for unsupported methods, malformed params, and prompt or tool result mapping. +- [ ] Add end-to-end stdio runtime coverage for Lua-hosted MCP servers. + - [ ] Add an integration test where a Lua script hosts an MCP stdio server through `yaaf run`. + - [ ] Add a consuming-client integration test that connects to the hosted Lua server and exercises both prompts and tools. + - [ ] Run the smallest relevant test and build loop for touched MCP and script-runtime targets. + +## Phase 4 - Documentation + +- [ ] Document Lua-backed MCP server authoring and hosting. + - [ ] Update `libyaaf/mcp/README.md` to describe both consuming and hosting support plus the new support matrix. + - [ ] Update `docs/modules/mcp.md` and `docs/lua.md` with the hosted API and `yaaf run` workflow. + -

The first version should let Lua scripts expose MCP tools and prompts through a native stdio JSON-RPC loop while reusing yaaf's generated MCP schema registry for protocol-version and method support metadata. - -## Problem - -Yaaf can currently consume MCP servers as a native client and expose discovered MCP tools inside the Lua runtime, but it cannot host an MCP server itself. That blocks an important workflow: writing small MCP servers directly in Lua with the same `yaaf run` experience already used for script-based tools and agents. - -The repository already has: -- a native stdio MCP transport on the client side, -- a thin Lua `mcp` bridge, -- a native tool registry, -- generated MCP schema metadata with prompt and tool methods. - -What is missing is the inverse bridge: a native host loop that reads stdio JSON-RPC requests, negotiates protocol version, dispatches supported server methods into Lua, and exposes a script-authored MCP server surface. - -## Goal - -Enable `yaaf run ` to host an MCP stdio server from Lua, with native handling for stdio transport and JSON-RPC framing, Lua authoring for prompts and tool behavior, and generated-schema-backed support for the initial protocol surface. - -## Scope - -- Add a native MCP host implementation for stdio transport only. -- Extend the built-in `mcp` Lua module with server-hosting APIs for script runs. -- Support MCP initialize flow and initialized notification handling for hosted servers. -- Support `tools/list` and `tools/call` backed by yaaf's existing regular tool integration model, including built-in tools and script-registered tools selected through normal `--tool` flows. -- Support `prompts/list` and `prompts/get` backed by Lua prompt registration and handlers. -- Reuse generated schema metadata to select the advertised protocol version and known hosted methods. -- Add focused mock and integration tests for host protocol behavior and `yaaf run` server execution. -- Document the new Lua MCP server authoring flow and implementation support matrix. -- Add at least one runnable Lua example that behaves as an MCP stdio server. - -## Non-Goals - -- HTTP or SSE MCP server hosting. -- MCP resources, roots, sampling, elicitation, task APIs, logging control, cancellation, batching, or OAuth. -- Full generated-schema request or response JSON validation beyond protocol-version and known-method support. -- Auto-generating a standalone server manifest format outside normal Lua scripts. -- Auto-exposing unrelated remote MCP client tools as hosted tools. - -## Assumptions, Dependencies, And Risks - -- `yaaf run ` remains the entry point; no separate CLI subcommand is required for v1. -- The existing built-in `mcp` module is the right user-facing home for both client and server MCP APIs. -- Hosted tool execution should reuse existing normalized tool result shapes where possible. -- Hosted tools should follow yaaf's regular tool integration model so built-in tools and script-registered tools can be selected and exposed consistently, rather than introducing a separate host-only registry concept. -- Prompt support needs both prompt descriptors and a way to produce prompt messages for `prompts/get`. -- Generated schema support today is metadata-oriented; v1 should use it for protocol and method awareness, not promise full schema validation. -- Stdio server mode must be careful about line-delimited framing, error responses, and clean process exit behavior. - -## Acceptance Criteria - -- [ ] A Lua script launched with `yaaf run` can enter MCP stdio server mode and successfully answer `initialize`, `tools/list`, `tools/call`, `prompts/list`, and `prompts/get`. -- [ ] Hosted tool calls can invoke built-in tools and script-authored registered tools through the existing yaaf tool integration model and return normalized MCP-compatible results. -- [ ] Hosted prompt endpoints can advertise prompt descriptors and return prompt message payloads from Lua. -- [ ] The hosted server advertises the latest supported protocol version from the generated schema registry and only claims the hosted prompt and tool method set implemented in yaaf. -- [ ] Focused mock tests cover request dispatch, method gating, protocol negotiation, and error mapping. -- [ ] Integration tests verify a real stdio-hosted Lua script can be consumed through yaaf's native MCP client path. -- [ ] User-facing docs explain how to author and run a Lua-backed MCP stdio server and clearly list the supported hosted MCP surface. - -## Task Legend - -- `[ ]` not started -- `[-]` in progress -- `[x]` completed -- `[!]` blocked or waiting -- `[?]` user decision required - -## Tracker - -| Phase | Status | Notes | -| --- | --- | --- | -| Discovery | [x] | Host API shape and tool exposure model confirmed | -| Implementation | [x] | Phase 2.1 native host loop done;
