# cobol-mcp-client

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for COBOL development assistance. Provides static analysis with blind-spot detection and hybrid documentation search.

## Quick Start

```bash
pipx run cobol-mcp-client setup YOUR_API_KEY
```

This launches an interactive wizard where you select which IDEs to configure:

```

## What It Does

Three tools exposed via MCP:

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `check(file_path)` | Static analysis of COBOL source files. Runs 30+ rules covering FILE STATUS, uninitialized variables, missing STOP RUN, arithmetic overflow, and IMS DL/I issues. |
| `search(query)` | Hybrid semantic + keyword search across GnuCOBOL, IBM Enterprise COBOL, CICS, and Visual COBOL documentation. |
| `translate_reference(topic)` | COBOL-to-Java translation patterns for data types, control flow, file I/O, CICS, DB2, and more. |

Resources available:
- `cobol://context` — Dialect differences and search tips
- `cobol://rules` — Full rule documentation  
- `cobol://gnucobol` — GnuCOBOL compiler reference
