Pb — Model Context Protocol server

README

Rust License: MIT CI MCP

Profile-based IDE agent MCP server for Zed/Cursor with multi-agent bus, code intelligence, and execution tools.

Table of Contents

Overview

pb-mcp-server is a Rust-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed for IDE agents in Zed, Cursor, and similar editors. It exposes 500+ tools across six profiles and is built as a Cargo workspace with 5 members covering the MCP core, HTTP gateway, LSP bridge, P2P networking, and an admin dashboard. It provides:

  • Profile-based tool exposure - Different tool sets for different workflows
  • Multi-agent coordination - Durable append-only message bus for agent communication
  • Code intelligence - Symbol indexing, search, and analysis tools
  • Safe execution - Sandboxed terminal operations with allowlists
  • Review tools - PR review, architecture analysis, risk assessment
  • App/workflow equivalents - Local deterministic helpers inspired by n8n, MCP builders, skills/plugins/commands, Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, bash, PowerShell, batch/cmd, and macOS Terminal workflows

Features

🎯 Core Capabilities

Feature Description
File Operations Read, list, search, tree, grep with project sandboxing
Git Integration Status, diff, log, blame, branches, and more
Code Indexing Symbol extraction, path indexing, dependency analysis
Text Processing Compression, summarization, format conversion
Agent Bus Multi-agent messaging, handoffs, consensus
Execution Terminal commands, test runners, OCR (gated)
App / Workflow Tools n8n-style workflow validation/templates, MCP manifest/spec helpers, skills/plugins/commands, shell command helpers, agent prompt/session/patch/context/task planning

🛡️ Security Features

  • #![deny(unsafe_code)] - Unsafe code forbidden at compile time (one gated exception for perf-mmap)
  • Path sandboxing - All file operations confined to project root, symlink depth-limited
  • Command allowlists - Only approved executables can run; shell metacharacters blocked
  • HMAC-SHA256 message signing - All inter-node messages are signed; covers id, from, to, kind, nonce, ts, body
  • Replay protection - Per-message nonces prevent exact-replay attacks
  • Constant-time auth - Token and signature comparisons use constant-time routines
  • Rate limiting - Bus operations are rate-limited per agent
  • Profile gating - Dangerous tools require explicit feature flags and env vars
  • Input validation - All inputs validated with length limits at entry points

📊 Profile System

Tools are organized into profiles for better discoverability and security:

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Rust 1.75+ (use rustup for installation)
  • A project directory to work with

Build

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PanosBiazis/pb-mcp-server.git
cd pb-mcp-server

# Build release binary
cargo build --release

# The binary will be at:
# ./target/release/pb-mcp-server

# Linux full release binary
cargo build --release -p pb-mcp-server --all-features --bin pb-mcp-server

# Smart release matrix for available Linux/Windows/macOS targets
make release-matrix

# Windows x64 exact all-features release binary from Linux
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
cargo build --release -p pb-mcp-server --all-features --bin pb-mcp-server --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

# The Windows binary will be at:
# ./target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/pb-mcp-server.exe

Run in Zed

  1. Copy the example configuration into your Zed MCP settings:

    # Zed stores MCP server configs in its settings.json
# Copy and fill in your paths
cp setup.example.json setup.json
# Edit setup.json: replace /path/to/pb-mcp-server and /path/to/your/project

  2. In Zed, open Settings → MCP Servers and add the entry from setup.json, or merge it into ~/.config/zed/settings.json under the "context_servers" key.

  3. Restart Zed — the MCP server will connect automatically and expose all tools.

Verify Installation

# Quick sanity check — the binary should print its version and exit
PB_PROJECT_ROOT=$(pwd) ./target/release/pb-mcp-server 2>&1 | head -5

# If you also start the gateway binary:
curl http://localhost:8080/health

Path Validation

All file operations use PathGuard which:

  1. Canonicalizes paths - Resolves . and .. components
  2. Resolves symlinks - With depth limit (max 8)
  3. Verifies containment - Ensures path stays under root
  4. Blocks escapes - Prevents traversal attacks
  5. Checks extensions - Blocks dangerous file types
  6. Enforces limits - File size and path length
// Example: Path validation in action
let guard = PathGuard::new("/project/root")?;

// Valid: stays within root
guard.validate_for_read("src/main.rs")?; // ✓

// Blocked: path traversal attempt
guard.validate_for_read("../../../etc/passwd")?; // ✗ Error

// Blocked: symlink escape
guard.validate_for_read("symlink_to_outside")?; // ✗ Error

Command Policy

Terminal execution uses CommandPolicy which:

  1. Allowlists programs - Only approved executables
  2. Validates arguments - Length, content, patterns
  3. Restricts subcommands - Per-program policies
  4. Blocks patterns - Shell metacharacters, injection attempts
  5. Enforces limits - Execution time, output size
// Example: Command validation

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file or export variables before running the server:

# Required: Project root (all file operations are sandboxed here)
export PB_PROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/your/project

# Profile selection (optional, default: core-code)
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=core-code

# Network profile (optional, default: local)
export PB_NETWORK_PROFILE=local

# Enable terminal execution (optional, off by default)
export PB_TERMINAL_ENABLE=1
export PB_TERMINAL_ALLOW=git,cargo,npm,python

# Enable git remote operations (optional)
export PB_GIT_PUSH_ENABLE=1
export PB_GIT_REMOTE_ENABLE=1

# Rate limiting (optional)
export PB_BUS_MAX_SENDS_PER_WINDOW=100
export PB_BUS_WINDOW_SECS=60

# Logging
export RUST_LOG=info

Tip: Copy setup.example.json to setup.json and set values there — Zed reads environment variables directly from the MCP config.

Profile Selection

Select profile via PB_MCP_PROFILE environment variable:

# Default read-only coding profile
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=core-code

# PR review and architecture analysis
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=review-refactor

# Multi-agent coordination
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=agent-orchestration

# Full local execution (requires TERMINAL_ENABLE and NETWORK_PROFILE=local)
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=local-power

# Advanced ML/AI tools (requires experimental-lab feature)
export PB_MCP_PROFILE=experimental-lab

Feature Flags

Enable features at compile time:

# Build with default features
cargo build --release

# Build with local-power tools
cargo build --release --features local-power

# Build with experimental ML tools
cargo build --release --features experimental-lab

# Build with all features
cargo build --release --features full

# Build all package binaries for available release targets into dist/
make release-matrix

# Build Windows x64 with exact all-features
cargo build --release -p pb-mcp-server --all-features --bins --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

# Build the lighter Windows-compatible profile
cargo build --release -p pb-mcp-server --features full-windows --bin pb-mcp-server --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

scripts/build-release-matrix.sh builds every package binary with exact --all-features by default, copies artifacts into dist/<target>/, and writes dist/SHA256SUMS plus dist/build-manifest.jsonl. macOS targets are skipped from Linux unless an Apple SDK/osxcross-style linker is configured. The full-windows profile remains available as a lighter Windows-compatible build, but exact Windows --all-features is supported when the MinGW target is installed.

Multi-Agent Bus

Overview

The agent bus is an append-only JSONL file for multi-agent coordination:

.mint-mcp/
└── agent-bus.jsonl    # Durable message log

Message Format

Each message is a JSON object:

{
  "id": "1775308370692-144329",
  "ts": 1775308370692,
  "from_agent": "cursor-main",
  "to_agent": "review-bot",
  "topic": "pr-review-42",
  "kind": "handoff",
  "body": "Please review the auth module changes"
}

Usage Examples

Send a Message

# Direct message
agent_send(from_agent="cursor-main", message="Check this", to_agent="review-bot")

# Broadcast
agent_send(from_agent="cursor-main", message="Anyone available?", kind="question")

# Topic message
agent_send(from_agent="cursor-main", message="Starting review", topic="pr-42")

Poll Inbox

# Get latest messages
agent_inbox(for_agent="review-bot", limit=50)

# Incremental polling (store last_ts from response)
agent_inbox(for_agent="review-bot", since_ts_ms=1775308370692)

Read Thread

# Get all messages in a topic
agent_thread(topic="pr-42", limit=100)

Orchestration

# Ask multiple agents and wait for replies
ask_agents(
  from_agent="cursor-main",
  question="What's the best approach for auth?",
  expected_count=3,
  timeout_ms=30000
)

Bus Management

# Check bus status
agent_bus_status()

# Compact old messages
agent_bus_compact(keep_count=1000)

# Search messages
agent_bus_search(pattern="auth", from_agent="review-bot")

HTTP Gateway

Overview

The HTTP gateway provides remote access to a subset of tools:

# Start gateway
PB_GATEWAY_BIND=127.0.0.1:8080 \
PB_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-secure-token \
MINT_PROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/project \
./target/release/pb-gateway

Adding New Tools

  1. Define arguments in src/args/<category>.rs:
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct MyToolArgs {
    pub input: String,
    #[serde(default)]
    pub option: Option<String>,
}
  1. Implement logic in src/ops/<category>.rs:
pub fn my_tool_work(args: MyToolArgs) -> Result<String> {
    // Implementation
}
  1. Add handler in src/main.rs (inside impl MintMcp):
#[tool(description = "My tool does X")]
async fn my_tool(&self, Parameters(args): Parameters<MyToolArgs>) -> Result<CallToolResult, McpError> {
    self.require_trusted_deployment()?;
    let root = self.resolve_path(&args.input)?;
    let out = tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || {
        ops::my_tool_work(serde_json::json!({ "path": root }))
    }).await.unwrap_or_else(|e| format!("Error: {e}"));
    Self::tool_text(out)
}
4. **Add tests** in the `#[cfg(test)]` mod block of the relevant `src/ops/*.rs` file:

```rust
#[test]
fn test_my_tool() {
    let args = MyToolArgs { input: "test".into(), option: None };
    let result = ops::my_tool_work(args).unwrap();
    assert!(result.contains("expected"));
}

Criterion benchmarks measure key subsystems:

# Run all benchmarks
cargo bench

# Bus I/O (JSONL append + read performance, 10–1000 messages)
cargo bench --bench bus_performance

# Code indexing (symbol extraction, grep search, 10–100 files)
cargo bench --bench code_index
