Refactored Java plugin to use helper methods for consistent JSON success/error responses. Fixed NullPointerException in listVariables. Updated Python tests (HTTP and MCP) to use helper assertions validating the standard response structure.
Standardizes communication between the Python bridge and Java plugin,
resolves test logic errors, and improves error handling to ensure
MCP bridge tests pass reliably.
Key changes:
- Standardized HTTP methods: Use GET for read operations and POST for all modification operations across the bridge and plugin.
- Fixed JSON parsing in Java plugin using Gson and added missing imports.
- Corrected error handling in Java plugin's `get_function` to return `success: false` when a function is not found.
- Updated Python bridge's `safe_get` to correctly propagate nested failure responses from the plugin.
- Fixed test client logic (`test_mcp_client.py`) to correctly extract function name/address from `list_functions` results.
- Added logging to `test_mcp_client.py` for easier debugging of mutating operations.
- Modified bridge_mcp_hydra.py to auto-discover GhydraMCP plugin instances on ports 8192-8299
- Added periodic background thread to maintain discovered instances list
- Added project and binary file information to instance reporting
- Added JSON-based info endpoint in GhydraMCP plugin
- Added json-simple dependency to support JSON responses
