Ryan Malloy 997cf8dec4 Initial commit: Production-ready FastMCP agent selection server
Features:
- FastMCP-based MCP server for Claude Code agent recommendations
- Hierarchical agent architecture with 39 specialized agents
- 10 MCP tools with enhanced LLM-friendly descriptions
- Composed agent support with parent-child relationships
- Project root configuration for focused recommendations
- Smart agent recommendation engine with confidence scoring

Server includes:
- Core recommendation tools (recommend_agents, get_agent_content)
- Project management tools (set/get/clear project roots)
- Discovery tools (list_agents, server_stats)
- Hierarchy navigation (get_sub_agents, get_parent_agent, get_agent_hierarchy)

All tools properly annotated for calling LLM clarity with detailed
arguments, return values, and usage examples.

Agent MCP Server - Development Log

🎯 Project Vision

Building an MCP server that serves our 32 specialized agent templates to any Claude Code project. This eliminates manual agent copying and provides intelligent, context-aware agent recommendations.

🧠 Key Insight

Recursive Bootstrap: Using our own agent template system to build the very MCP server that will make the agent system even better! This is a perfect test of our evidence-based agent creation methodology.

📊 Starting State

  • 32 agent templates with unique emojis (🎭🔮🐍🌈🎨🎣🏎️🚄🌲📫📈📐📖🏔️🧠🚀👻♻️🐛⌨️👥🏗️💛💙🧪🪝🔌🔒⚔️🐳💻📱)
  • 14,253+ lines of expertise across Claude Code configuration, workflows, and technologies
  • Evidence-based design from real conversation pattern analysis
  • app-template.md perfect for FastMCP + FastAPI + Docker project

🗓️ Development Timeline

2025-01-07 - Project Initialization

Thinking: Following our own bootstrap methodology - start with project structure, then use 🎭-subagent-expert to recommend the perfect team.

Actions:

  • Created /home/rpm/claude/agent-mcp-server/ directory
  • Started development log to capture the recursive nature of this build

Actions Completed:

  • Created project directory: /home/rpm/claude/agent-mcp-server/
  • Copied app-template.mdCLAUDE.md (perfect FastMCP + Docker template)
  • Initialized git repository (following template requirements)
  • Installed 🎭-subagent-expert as coordinator

Key Insight: The bootstrap process is working exactly as designed! Template → Git → Coordinator Agent → Team Assembly

Next: Ask 🎭-subagent-expert to analyze CLAUDE.md and recommend the perfect agent team


Phase 1 Complete: Bootstrap Foundation

The agent system just recommended its own development team! 🤯

🎭-subagent-expert recommendations:

  • 🔮-python-mcp-expert (FastMCP mastery)
  • 🚄-fastapi-expert (high-performance API)
  • 🐳-docker-infrastructure-expert (containerization)
  • 🧪-testing-integration-expert (comprehensive testing)
  • 🔒-security-audit-expert (MCP security)
  • 📖-readme-expert (documentation excellence)

Phase 2 Progress: FastMCP Server Foundation

  • Created pyproject.toml with FastMCP 2.12.2+ and Python 3.13
  • Set up environment configuration (.env with domain/database settings)
  • Built source structure following app-template.md patterns
  • Implemented main.py with core MCP tools:
    • recommend_agents() - The core intelligence!
    • get_agent_content() - Agent delivery system
    • analyze_project() - Deep project understanding
    • list_available_agents() - Browseable catalog
    • get_server_stats() - Performance metrics

Meta-insight: The system is now at the fascinating point where it's building the infrastructure for its own improvement! 🚀

This log will capture both the technical implementation and the meta-insights about building systems that improve themselves.
