This checklist outlines the steps to build and deploy Lucidity MCP using Python and the FastMCP SDK.
- Create GitHub repository (
lucidity-mcp
) - Set up Python development environment
- Install core dependencies:
- FastMCP SDK
- Testing frameworks (pytest)
- Documentation tools
- Set up project structure following Python best practices
- Create initial README with project description and setup instructions
- Set up GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- Define server configuration and metadata
- Server name, version, description
- Capability declarations
- Implement the core MCP server using FastMCP
- Setup basic server skeleton
- Configure stdio transport
- Implement initialization logic
- Define the comprehensive catalog of code quality issues:
- Unnecessary complexity
- Poor abstractions
- Unintended code deletion
- Hallucinated components
- Style inconsistencies
- Security vulnerabilities
- Performance issues
- Code duplication
- Incomplete error handling
- Test coverage gaps
- For each issue type, define:
- Clear name and description
- Detailed checkpoints for analysis
- Severity classification guidelines
- Implement prompt generation logic
- Base prompt template with instructions and response format
- Language-specific adaptations
- Original vs. new code comparison handling
- Issue-specific prompt sections
- Implement the
analyze_changes
tool- Define input schema (code, original code, language, focus areas)
