# Agent Protocol

**Server:** nws-weather-mcp-server
**Version:** 0.9.5
**Framework:** [@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core) `^0.13.6`
**Engines:** Bun ≥1.4.0, Node ≥24.0.0
**MCP SDK:** `@modelcontextprotocol/server` ^2.0.0

> **Read the framework docs first:** `node_modules/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/CLAUDE.md` contains the full API reference — builders, Context, error codes, exports, patterns. This file covers server-specific conventions only.

---

## Domain

Full design in `docs/design.md`. Key constraints:

- **API base:** `https://api.weather.gov` — no auth, but requires a `User-Agent` header (403 without it).
- **Coordinate-centric:** Most workflows start with `GET /points/{lat},{lon}`, which returns a grid cell with URLs for forecast, hourly forecast, observation stations, and zones. This is the routing layer — follow the returned URLs rather than constructing grid endpoints manually.
- **Grid caching:** `/points` responses are highly cacheable (grid cells don't change). Cached in-process via a `Map` with 1h TTL — grid cells are geography, not tenant data.
- **Units are metric:** Temperature in Celsius, wind in km/h, pressure in Pa. Convert to readable format in `format()` (show both F/C, mph, inHg/hPa).
- **No geocoding:** API is coordinates-only. Tools accept lat/lon directly.
- **Alert quirks:** `/alerts/active` has no `limit` param (returns 400) and no upstream cursor. Filter by area/severity, then window the fetched array locally.
- **Transient 500s:** Grid forecast endpoints occasionally fail. Retry with backoff.
- **Hourly = 156 periods:** Handler windows returned periods to 48 so `structuredContent` and `content[]` share the same bounded set; pre-page total + truncation notice surfaced via enrichment.
- **Paging is local windowing, never upstream.** `nws_get_forecast`, `nws_find_stations`, and `nws_search_alerts` each fetch their whole collection, then window it with `paginateArray` from `@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/utils` (the generic pagination utility — not the tenant-scoped, signed `encodeCursor`/`decodeCursor` pair in the storage layer). Each takes an opaque `cursor` input and surfaces `nextCursor` as enrichment, **omitted** on the last page per the MCP spec, so the Zod field is `.optional()` and never `.nullable()`. A bad cursor surfaces as `-32602 InvalidParams` from `decodeCursor` — leave it; do not convert it to a declared `errors[]` reason. Nothing caches the fetched collection (only `/points` grid resolution, 1h), so pages are contiguous within one response and **not** across separate calls: never document or promise a cross-call no-gap/no-overlap guarantee, least of all for alerts.

### Tools (7)

| Tool | Purpose |
|:-----|:--------|
| `nws_get_forecast` | 7-day or hourly forecast for coordinates (resolves grid internally) |
| `nws_search_alerts` | Active weather alerts filtered by area, point, zone, event, severity |
| `nws_get_observations` | Current conditions from nearest station (by coordinates or station ID) |
| `nws_find_stations` | Discover nearby observation stations sorted by proximity |
| `nws_list_alert_types` | List all valid alert event type names (for `event` filter discovery) |
| `nws_get_office_discussion` | Latest narrative product (AFD/HWO/ZFP/SPS) from a Weather Forecast Office |
| `nws_get_zone_forecast` | Text forecast periods for a public NWS forecast zone |

### Resources (1)

| Resource | Purpose |
|:---------|:--------|
| `nws://alert-types` | Static list of alert event type names (convenience for resource-capable clients) |

## What's Next?

When the user asks what to do next, what's left, or needs direction, suggest relevant options based on the current project state:

1. **Re-run the `setup` skill** — ensures CLAUDE.md, skills, structure, and metadata are populated and up to date with the current codebase
2. **Run the `design-mcp-server` skill** — if the tool/resource surface hasn't been mapped yet, work through domain design
3. **Add tools/resources/prompts** — scaffold new definitions using the `add-tool`, `add-app-tool`, `add-resource`, and `add-prompt` skills
4. **Add services** — scaffold domain service integrations using the `add-service` skill
5. **Add tests** — scaffold tests for existing definitions using the `add-test` skill
6. **Field-test definitions** — exercise tools/resources/prompts with real inputs using the `field-test` skill, get a report of issues and pain points
7. **Run `devcheck`** — lint, format, typecheck, and security audit
8. **Run the `security-pass` skill** — audit handlers for MCP-specific security gaps: output injection, scope blast radius, input sinks, tenant isolation
9. **Run the `polish-docs-meta` skill** — finalize README, CHANGELOG, metadata, and agent protocol for shipping
10. **Run the `maintenance` skill** — investigate changelogs, adopt upstream changes, and sync skills after `bun update --latest`

Tailor suggestions to what's actually missing or stale — don't recite the full list every time.

## Core Rules

- **Logic throws, framework catches.** Tool/resource handlers are pure — throw on failure, no `try/catch`. Plain `Error` is fine; the framework catches, classifies, and formats. Use error factories (`notFound()`, `validationError()`, etc.) when the error code matters.
- **Use `ctx.log`** for request-scoped logging. No `console` calls.
- **Use `ctx.state`** for tenant-scoped storage. Never access persistence directly.
- **Need input the caller didn't supply?** `return ctx.requestInput(...)` and read `ctx.inputs` when the handler is re-entered. Never `await` for user input mid-handler.
- **Secrets in env vars only** — never hardcoded.
- **Cut noise.** Add only what earns its place: no speculative generality, no guards for states the framework already prevents, no abstraction until a third caller proves it, no option nothing sets.
- **Close the loop on issues.** When implementing work tracked by a GitHub issue, comment on the issue with what landed and close it. Do both — a comment without a close leaves stale issues open; a close without a comment leaves no record of what shipped. The comment is for future readers — state the concrete changes, not the conversation that produced them.

## Patterns

### Tool

```ts
import { tool, z } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core';
import { paginateArray } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/utils';
import { getNwsService } from '@/services/nws/nws-service.js';

export const findStationsTool = tool('nws_find_stations', {
  description: 'Find weather observation stations near a location.',
  annotations: { readOnlyHint: true },
  input: z.object({
    latitude: z.number().min(-90).max(90).describe('Center latitude for proximity search.'),
    longitude: z.number().min(-180).max(180).describe('Center longitude for proximity search.'),
    limit: z.number().int().min(1).max(50).default(10).describe('Stations per page (1-50).'),
    cursor: z.string().optional().describe("Continuation token from a previous response's nextCursor."),
  }),
  output: z.object({
    stations: z.array(z.object({
      stationId: z.string().describe('Station identifier (e.g., "KSEA")'),
      name: z.string().describe('Station name'),
      distance: z.number().describe('Distance from query point in km'),
      bearing: z.string().describe('Compass bearing from query point'),
    })).describe('Nearby stations sorted by distance'),
  }),

  async handler(input, ctx) {
    // The service returns every nearby station; the tool windows it.
    const result = await getNwsService().findStations(input.latitude, input.longitude, ctx);
    const page = paginateArray([...result.stations], input.cursor, input.limit, 50, ctx);
    return { stations: page.items.map((s) => ({ /* ... */ })) };
  },

  // format() populates content[] — the markdown twin of structuredContent.
  // Different clients read different surfaces (Claude Code → structuredContent,
  // Claude Desktop → content[]); both must carry the same data.
  // Enforced at lint time: every field in `output` must appear in the rendered text.
  format: (result) => {
    const lines = [`## ${result.stations.length} Nearby Stations\n`];
    lines.push('| Station | Name | Distance | Bearing |');
    lines.push('|:--------|:-----|:---------|:--------|');
    for (const s of result.stations) {
      lines.push(`| ${s.stationId} | ${s.name} | ${s.distance} km | ${s.bearing} |`);
    }
    return [{ type: 'text', text: lines.join('\n') }];
  },
});
```

### Resource

```ts
import { resource, z } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core';
import { getNwsService } from '@/services/nws/nws-service.js';

export const alertTypesResource = resource('nws://alert-types', {
  name: 'NWS Alert Event Types',
  description: 'Static list of all valid NWS alert event type names.',
  mimeType: 'application/json',
  params: z.object({}),

  async handler(_params, ctx) {
    const types = await getNwsService().listAlertTypes(ctx);
    return { count: types.length, eventTypes: [...types].sort() };
  },

  list: async () => ({
    resources: [{
      uri: 'nws://alert-types',
      name: 'NWS Alert Event Types',
      description: 'All valid alert event type names for filtering.',
      mimeType: 'application/json',
    }],
  }),
});
```

### Server config

```ts
// src/config/server-config.ts — lazy-parsed, separate from framework config
import { parseEnvConfig } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/config';

const ServerConfigSchema = z.object({
  userAgent: z
    .string()
    .default('(nws-weather-mcp-server, github.com/cyanheads/nws-weather-mcp-server)')
    .describe('User-Agent header for NWS API requests. Required by the API — 403 without it.'),
});
let _config: z.infer<typeof ServerConfigSchema> | undefined;
export function getServerConfig() {
  _config ??= parseEnvConfig(ServerConfigSchema, {
    userAgent: 'NWS_USER_AGENT',
  });
  return _config;
}
```

### Session posture and shutdown

```ts
await createApp({
  sessionMode: 'stateless',
  setup() { initNwsService(); },
});
```

`sessionMode` declares the HTTP session posture in `src/` rather than leaving it to a deployment's `MCP_SESSION_MODE`, which still wins whenever it carries a meaningful value (an empty string and an unsubstituted `${…}` placeholder read as unset and fall through to the option). `stateless` is correct here because no tool asks the caller for input mid-handler — add `require: 'stateful'` only if one ever gains a `ctx.requestInput`, so startup fails with a `ConfigurationError` instead of serving a mode a 2025-era client can never answer. Keep `.env.example`, the `Dockerfile`, and the README environment table on the same value.

`teardown(core)` is the `setup()` counterpart — release a watcher, socket, or non-`unref()`'d timer there, after the transport stops and before the logger closes. Unused here: the NWS service holds only an in-process `Map` of cached `/points` metadata, which needs no release.

---

## Context

Handlers receive a unified `ctx` object. Key properties:

| Property | Description |
|:---------|:------------|
| `ctx.log` | Request-scoped logger — `.debug()`, `.info()`, `.notice()`, `.warning()`, `.error()`. Auto-correlates requestId, traceId, tenantId. Dual-sink: Pino **and** `notifications/message` to the client, so treat it as client-visible. |
| `ctx.state` | Tenant-scoped KV — `.get(key)`, `.set(key, value, { ttl? })`, `.delete(key)`, `.list(prefix, { cursor, limit })`. Used for grid cell caching. |
| `ctx.signal` | `AbortSignal` for cancellation. |
| `ctx.requestId` | Unique request ID. |
| `ctx.tenantId` | Tenant ID from JWT or `'default'` for stdio. |
| `ctx.enrich` | Success-path enrichment — accumulates notices, query echo, totals onto the request; reaches both `structuredContent` and `content[]`. Kind-tagged helpers: `.notice()`, `.total()`, `.echo()`, `.delta()`. |

---

## Errors

Handlers throw — the framework catches, classifies, and formats.

**Recommended: typed error contract.** Tools that surface domain-specific failures declare `errors: [{ reason, code, when, recovery, retryable? }]`. The handler then receives `ctx.fail(reason, msg?, data?)` typed against the reason union (`ctx.fail('typo')` is a TS error). Spread `ctx.recoveryFor('reason')` to copy the contract's recovery hint onto the wire — the framework mirrors `data.recovery.hint` into `content[]` text. Baseline codes (`InternalError`, `ServiceUnavailable`, `Timeout`, `ValidationError`, `SerializationError`, `RequestCancelled`) bubble freely without declaration.

```ts
errors: [
  { reason: 'out_of_scope', code: JsonRpcErrorCode.ValidationError,
    when: 'Coordinates fall outside US National Weather Service coverage',
    recovery: 'Provide coordinates within US states or territories.' },
],
async handler(input, ctx) {
  if (badCoords(input)) throw ctx.fail('out_of_scope', undefined, { ...ctx.recoveryFor('out_of_scope') });
  // ...
}
```

In services that throw on behalf of contract-bearing tools, pass `data: { reason: 'X', ...ctx.recoveryFor('X') }` to error factories. The conformance lint scans handler source only — services are wire-correct via `data.reason` but not lint-enforced.

**Fallback (no contract entry fits):** factories or plain `Error`.

```ts
// Error factories — explicit code, concise
import { notFound, validationError, serviceUnavailable } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/errors';
throw notFound('Item not found', { itemId });
throw serviceUnavailable('API unavailable', { url }, { cause: err });

// Plain Error — framework auto-classifies from message patterns
throw new Error('Item not found');           // → NotFound
throw new Error('Invalid query format');     // → ValidationError

// McpError — when no factory exists for the code
import { McpError, JsonRpcErrorCode } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/errors';
throw new McpError(JsonRpcErrorCode.DatabaseError, 'Connection failed', { pool: 'primary' });
```

Use `validationError` for semantic post-shape validation (the wrong-field-shape kind is rare post-Zod); `invalidParams` is for malformed JSON-RPC params. See framework CLAUDE.md for the full auto-classification table, all available factories, and the contract reference.

## Skills

Skills are modular instructions in `framework-skills/` at the project root. Read them directly when a task matches — e.g., `framework-skills/add-tool/SKILL.md` when adding a tool. `bun run list-skills` prints the registry. Keep development skills out of root `skills/`, which plugin hosts automatically load for installing agents.

**Agent skill directory:** Copy skills into the directory your agent discovers (Claude Code: `.claude/skills/`, others: equivalent). Skills then load as context without referencing `framework-skills/` paths. After framework updates, run the `maintenance` skill — Phase B re-syncs the agent directory.

Available skills:

| Skill | Purpose |
|:------|:--------|
| `setup` | Post-init project orientation |
| `design-mcp-server` | Design tool surface, resources, and services for a new server |
| `add-tool` | Scaffold a new tool definition |
| `add-app-tool` | Scaffold an MCP App tool + paired UI resource |
| `add-resource` | Scaffold a new resource definition |
| `add-prompt` | Scaffold a new prompt definition |
| `add-service` | Scaffold a new service integration |
| `add-test` | Scaffold test file for a tool, resource, or service |
| `field-test` | Exercise tools/resources/prompts with real inputs, verify behavior, report issues |
| `security-pass` | Audit server for MCP-flavored security gaps: output injection, scope blast radius, input sinks, tenant isolation |
| `polish-docs-meta` | Finalize docs, README, metadata, and agent protocol for shipping |
| `maintenance` | Investigate changelogs, adopt upstream changes, sync skills to agent dirs |
| `orchestrations` | Chain task skills into a gated multi-phase pipeline — build-out, QA-fix, update-ship — when you can spawn sub-agents |
| `report-issue-framework` | File a bug or feature request against `@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core` via `gh` CLI |
| `report-issue-local` | File a bug or feature request against this server's own repo via `gh` CLI |
| `tool-defs-analysis` | Read-only audit of MCP definition language across the surface — voice, leaks, defaults, recovery hints, output descriptions |
| `techniques` | Catalog of response/data-shaping techniques — overflow handling, payload shaping, retrieval patterns |
| `code-simplifier` | Post-session cleanup against `git diff` — modernize syntax, consolidate duplication, align with the codebase |
| `git-wrapup` | Land working-tree changes as a commit stack — version bump, changelog, verify, commit by concern, release commit on top. No tag, no push to main; opens the release PR when the project declares release PR mode |
| `release-pr-review` | Review pass on an open release PR — simplifier + correctness review, fixes as ordinary commits on top of the stack, PR body kept in sync. Release PR mode only |
| `release-and-publish` | Fast-forward merge (release PR mode) + tag + push + npm + MCP Registry + GH Release + Docker. Picks up from `git-wrapup` |
| `api-auth` | Auth modes, scopes, JWT/OAuth |
| `api-canvas` | DataCanvas: register tabular data, run SQL, export, plus the `spillover()` helper for big result sets — Tier 3 opt-in |
| `api-config` | AppConfig, parseConfig, env vars |
| `api-context` | Context interface, RequestContext, logger, state, multi-round-trip input |
| `api-errors` | McpError, JsonRpcErrorCode, error patterns |
| `api-linter` | Definition linter rule catalog — invoked by `bun run lint:mcp` and `devcheck` |
| `api-mirror` | MirrorService: persistent self-refreshing local mirror (embedded SQLite + FTS5) of a bulk upstream dataset — Tier 3 opt-in |
| `api-services` | LLM, Speech, Graph services |
| `api-telemetry` | OTel catalog: spans, metrics, completion logs, env config, cardinality rules |
| `api-testing` | createMockContext, test patterns |
| `api-utils` | Formatting, parsing, security, pagination, scheduling, telemetry helpers |
| `api-workers` | Cloudflare Workers runtime |

**Chaining skills into pipelines.** When the user wants a multi-phase effort — build this server out, QA-and-fix the surface, update-and-ship — *and you can spawn sub-agents*, `framework-skills/orchestrations/SKILL.md` sequences the task skills above into a gated pipeline with verification at each step. Read it to drive the run. Optional: skip it if you can't orchestrate sub-agents, and ignore it entirely if you were *spawned* as one — you've already been scoped to a single phase.

When you complete a skill's checklist, check the boxes and add a completion timestamp at the end (e.g., `Completed: 2026-03-11`).

| `bun run start:http` | Production mode (HTTP) |

---

## Bundling

`bun run bundle` builds, packs to `.mcpb`, then runs `scripts/clean-mcpb.ts` to strip dev-dir agent files from the bundle. MCPB is stdio-only — HTTP deployments are unaffected.

**Adding an env var requires both files:** `server.json` (registry discovery, `environmentVariables[]`) and `manifest.json` (bundle install UX, `mcp_config.env` + `user_config`). `lint:packaging` (run by `devcheck`) verifies the env var names match and every `user_config` option is wired as `${user_config.<option>}`. Optional string options use `default: ""`; `parseEnvConfig` treats empty and whole-value `${…}` placeholders as unset.

**README install badges.** Drop these into the project README to give users one-click install paths. Fill in `<OWNER>` / `<REPO>` / `<PACKAGE_NAME>` and encode the per-server config:

| Client | Mechanism |
|:-------|:----------|
| Claude Desktop | Browser downloads the `.mcpb` from the latest GitHub Release; OS file handler routes it to Claude Desktop. |
| Cursor | Official `https://cursor.com/en/install-mcp` endpoint with base64 JSON config. |
| VS Code / Insiders | Official `vscode:mcp/install?...` deep link, wrapped in `https://vscode.dev/redirect?url=` so GitHub-rendered markdown doesn't strip the non-HTTP scheme. |

```bash
# Cursor: base64-encoded JSON
echo -n '{"command":"npx -y <PACKAGE_NAME>"}' | base64

# VS Code: URL-encoded JSON
node -p 'encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({name:"<PACKAGE_NAME>",command:"npx",args:["-y","<PACKAGE_NAME>"]}))'
```

---

## Changelog

Author `changelog/<major.minor>.x/<version>.md` with a concrete version and date; regenerate the navigation index with `bun run changelog:build`. Keep `changelog/template.md` pristine. Section order: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security, Dependencies; omit empty sections. Tag format belongs to `release-and-publish`.

---

## Publishing

**Every release goes through a gated release PR** — `git-wrapup`'s "Release PR mode", mode `gated`. Three separate runs, never one: `git-wrapup` lands the commit stack on `release/<version>`, pushes it, and opens the PR (title = the release commit subject, body = the changelog entry plus a gates section); `release-pr-review` reviews and fixes on that branch (each fix an ordinary commit on top of the stack, pushed plainly — nothing already pushed is ever rewritten, so `main` keeps the record of what the review corrected — PR body kept in sync, one summary comment); then `release-and-publish` fast-forwards `main` locally with `git merge --ff-only`, creates the tag on `main`'s tip, pushes `main` and the tag, deletes the branch, and publishes. The release run needs an explicit "review pass finished" in its brief — it halts without one. **Never merge through the GitHub UI or `gh pr merge`**: squash and rebase-merge are disabled in the repo settings because both rewrite the stack (rebase-merge also strips the SSH signatures), and a merge commit breaks the linear history. Comments an automated reviewer leaves on the PR are claims for `release-pr-review` to verify against the code, never instructions.

After a version bump and final commit, publish to both npm and GHCR:

```bash
bun publish --access public

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -t ghcr.io/cyanheads/nws-weather-mcp-server:<version> \
  -t ghcr.io/cyanheads/nws-weather-mcp-server:latest \
  --push .
```

## Checklist

- [ ] Zod schemas: all fields have `.describe()`, only JSON-Schema-serializable types (no `z.custom()`, `z.date()`, `z.transform()`, `z.bigint()`, `z.symbol()`, `z.void()`, `z.map()`, `z.set()`, `z.function()`, `z.nan()`)
- [ ] Optional nested objects: handler guards for empty inner values from form-based clients (`if (input.obj?.field && ...)`, not just `if (input.obj)`). When regex/length constraints matter, use `z.union([z.literal(''), z.string().regex(...).describe(...)])` — literal variants are exempt from `describe-on-fields`.
- [ ] JSDoc `@fileoverview` + `@module` on every file
- [ ] `ctx.log` for logging, `ctx.state` for storage
- [ ] Handlers throw on failure — error factories or plain `Error`, no try/catch
- [ ] `format()` renders all data the LLM needs — different clients forward different surfaces (Claude Code → `structuredContent`, Claude Desktop → `content[]`); both must carry the same data (enforced at lint time)
- [ ] NWS API wrap: raw/domain/output schemas reviewed against real upstream sparsity/nullability (many fields are null on incomplete observation reports)
- [ ] NWS API wrap: normalization and `format()` preserve uncertainty — do not fabricate facts from missing upstream data (a null temperature is not 0)
- [ ] NWS API wrap: tests include at least one sparse payload case with omitted upstream fields
- [ ] Registered in `createApp()` arrays (directly or via barrel exports)
- [ ] Tests use `createMockContext()` from `@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/testing`
- [ ] `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` populated — `name`, `version`, `description`, `repository`, `license` from `package.json`; `interface.displayName` = the unscoped repo name; `interface.shortDescription` from `package.json` description
- [ ] `.codex-plugin/mcp.json` updated — server name key is the unscoped repo name; user-supplied variables are listed in `env_vars`, never assigned empty `env` values
- [ ] `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` populated — `name`, `version`, `description`, `repository`, `license` from `package.json`; inline `mcpServers` entry keyed by the unscoped repo name; user-supplied variables declared in `userConfig` and referenced as `${user_config.<option>}`
- [ ] `bun run devcheck` passes
