FeathersJSMCPServer

an mcp server for the feathersjs framework. it gives AI coding assistants four tools over stdio — semantic search over a bundled knowledge base, and github pr integration for docs. no http port, no database, nothing to run in the background.

what it does

four tools, one knowledge base

all four tools use the same bundled feathersjs index. search works offline. the three pr tools need github — they only run when you pass them a token.

search_docs

offline

searches the bundled feathersjs knowledge base fully offline. the index ships with the package, so there's no network call.

submit_documentation

needs network

opens a github pr to add a new doc entry to the knowledge base. needs a github token and network access.

update_documentation

needs network

opens a github pr to update an existing entry when docs go stale or the api changes.

remove_documentation

needs network

opens a github pr to remove an entry from the index. keeps things clean without manual file editing.

compatibility

works where you already code

all over stdio — no daemon to manage, no port to forward.

my role

project manager

i came in as pm. that meant scoping the work, writing the task breakdown, running the weekly syncs, and staying the main contact between the team and the client.

the job was to scope it, keep it moving, and get it to a publishable state. we broke the work into pieces, ran weekly syncs, and made sure nobody was waiting on anything.

i wasn't just writing the code... i was making sure the people who were had what they needed.
