## What is CornMCP?

Corn Hub is a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** and real-time **analytics dashboard** that gives AI coding agents (Antigravity, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) surgical access to your codebase through 18 specialized tools.

Instead of dumping entire files into the context window, CornMCP provides:

- 🧠 **Semantic Memory** — Agents remember across sessions via vector search
- 🔍 **Native AST Engine** — Real call graphs, type hierarchies, and symbol-level analysis via TypeScript Compiler API
- 📋 **Quality Gates** — Plans must score ≥80% before execution
- 📊 **Live Analytics** — Track every tool call, latency, and token savings
- 🔄 **Multi-Agent Awareness** — Agents see each other's changes in real-time
- 💾 **Zero External Dependencies** — No external services. Everything runs locally with SQLite.

#### How It Works

| Connection | Protocol | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| **IDE → corn-mcp** | JSON-RPC over HTTP | AI agent sends tool calls via MCP SDK. Bearer token auth required. |
| **corn-mcp → corn-api** | REST HTTP (fetch) | Tool handlers call Dashboard API endpoints for data persistence. |
| **corn-mcp → SQLite vectors** | Direct file I/O | Memory and knowledge tools embed content and store vectors locally. |
| **corn-mcp → Voyage AI** | HTTPS API | Optional: semantic embeddings for memory/knowledge search. Falls back to local hash if unavailable. |
| **corn-api → SQLite** | sql.js (in-process) | All data stored in `./data/corn.db` — sessions, quality, code graph, analytics. |
| **corn-web → corn-api** | REST HTTP (fetch) | Dashboard fetches data from `:4000` API for real-time visualization. |
| **Telemetry** | Fire-and-forget POST | Every tool call logs to `/api/metrics/query-log` for analytics dashboard. |

### 2. MCP Request Lifecycle

> What happens step-by-step when your AI agent calls a Corn Hub tool.

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Agent as 🤖 AI Agent
    participant IDE as 🖥️ IDE (MCP Client)
    participant MCP as 🌽 corn-mcp
    participant Auth as 🔐 Auth Middleware
    participant Tool as 🔧 Tool Handler
    participant API as ⚡ corn-api
    participant DB as 💾 SQLite
    participant Vec as 🧲 Vector Store
    participant Embed as ☁️ Embeddings

Note over Agent,IDE: Agent decides to call corn_memory_store

Agent->>IDE: tools/call {name: "corn_memory_store", params: {...}}
    IDE->>MCP: POST /mcp (JSON-RPC, Bearer token)

MCP->>Auth: validateApiKey(request)
    Auth-->>MCP: ✅ valid (agentId: "local-ide")

MCP->>MCP: createMcpServer(env)
    MCP->>MCP: new WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport()
    MCP->>MCP: mcpServer.connect(transport)

MCP->>Tool: corn_memory_store({content, projectId, tags})

Tool->>Embed: embed(["memory content"])
    alt Voyage AI available
        Embed-->>Tool: [0.12, -0.34, 0.56, ...] (1024 dims)
    else Fallback
        Embed-->>Tool: [hash-based vector] (256 dims)
    end

Tool->>Vec: INSERT INTO vectors (id, embedding, payload)
    Vec-->>Tool: ✅ stored

Tool-->>MCP: {content: [{type: "text", text: "✅ Memory stored (id: mem-abc123)"}]}

MCP->>API: POST /api/metrics/query-log (fire-and-forget telemetry)
    Note over API: Logs: tool=corn_memory_store, status=ok, latency=401ms

MCP-->>IDE: JSON-RPC response
    IDE-->>Agent: Tool result displayed

Note over Agent: Agent continues with stored memory context
```

#### Key Details

- **Stateless**: Each request creates a fresh `McpServer` instance — no session state on the server
- **Auth**: Bearer token validated against API keys stored in `corn-api` database
- **Telemetry**: Every tool call is logged (tool name, status, latency, input size) as fire-and-forget
- **Embedding Fallback**: If Voyage AI is rate-limited or unavailable, auto-rotates models then falls back to local hash embeddings
- **Model Rotation**: `voyage-code-3` → `voyage-4-large` → `voyage-4` → `voyage-code-2` → `voyage-4-lite`

#### Symbol Extraction Details

| Symbol Kind | Example | What's Captured |
|-------------|---------|-----------------|
| **Function** | `createLogger()` | Name, params, return type, file, lines, exported?, signature |
| **Class** | `CornError` | Name, extends, implements, methods, properties |
| **Interface** | `Logger` | Name, members, extends |
| **Type** | `LogLevel` | Name, definition |
| **Enum** | `HttpStatus` | Name, members |
| **Variable** | `app` | Name, type annotation, initializer |

#### Edge Types

| Edge | Meaning | Example |
|------|---------|---------|
| `calls` | Function A calls Function B | `start()` → `getDb()` |
| `imports` | File A imports from File B | `index.ts` → `@corn/shared-utils` |
| `extends` | Class A extends Class B | `NotFoundError` → `CornError` |
| `implements` | Class implements Interface | `LocalHashEmbeddingProvider` → `EmbeddingProvider` |

> **Performance**: Corn Hub indexes itself (49 files) in ~2 seconds, extracting 965 symbols and 407 edges.

## Native AST Engine

Corn Hub includes a **built-in TypeScript Compiler API engine** that provides real code intelligence — no external services needed.

### What It Extracts

| Category | Details |
|----------|---------|
| **Symbols** | Functions, classes, interfaces, types, enums, variables, methods, properties |
| **Edges** | Function calls, imports, extends, implements |
| **Metadata** | File paths, line ranges, export status, signatures, JSDoc comments |

### How It Works

```
Local Project Directory
        │
        ▼
  collectFiles()          Recursively find all .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx files
        │                 (skips node_modules, dist, .git, etc.)
        ▼
  ts.createProgram()      TypeScript Compiler API parses all files
        │
        ▼
  AST Walk                Extract symbols + build dependency edges
        │
        ▼
  SQLite Storage          INSERT into code_symbols + code_edges tables
        │
        ▼
  Query Functions         searchSymbols, getSymbolContext, getSymbolImpact,
                          executeCypher, getProjectStats
```

### Capabilities

- **Call Graph**: Who calls `dbRun`? → 8 callers across 5 files with exact line numbers
- **Impact Analysis**: What breaks if I change `createLogger`? → Recursive CTE traces 6 downstream symbols
- **Cypher Queries**: `MATCH (n:class) RETURN n` → Finds all 10 classes in the codebase
- **Import Mapping**: Which files import from `shared-utils`? → Full dependency graph
- **Type Hierarchies**: `CornError` → `NotFoundError`, `UnauthorizedError`, `ValidationError`

### Self-Indexing Results (Corn Hub itself)

| Metric | Value |
|--------|------:|
| Files Analyzed | 49 |
| Symbols Extracted | 965 |
| Edges Built | 407 |
| By Kind | 764 variables, 111 functions, 32 interfaces, 28 methods, 16 properties, 10 classes, 1 type |
| Analysis Time | ~2 seconds |

## Installation

### One-Command Installer (Recommended)

```bash
npx corn-install
```

The interactive installer will:
1. Check for Docker, Node.js, Git, pnpm
2. Install missing dependencies (with your permission)
3. Clone the Corn Hub repository
4. Configure Voyage AI API key for embeddings
5. Build and start the Docker stack
6. Configure your IDE (Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf)
7. Verify all 18 MCP tools are working

After installation, run the **live monitor dashboard**:

```bash
npx corn-install monitor
```

### Prerequisites
- **Node.js** 22+
- **pnpm** 10+
- **Docker** (required for running the full stack)

### Quick Start (Manual)

```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/yuki-20/corn-hub.git
cd corn-hub

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Start the API backend
cd apps/corn-api && npx tsx src/index.ts

# In another terminal — start the MCP server (HTTP mode)
cd apps/corn-mcp && npx tsx src/node.ts

# In another terminal — start the dashboard
cd apps/corn-web && npx next dev
```

| Service | Port | Description |
|---------|------|-------------|
| **corn-api** | `:4000` | Hono REST API + SQLite + AST Engine |
| **corn-mcp** | `:8317` | MCP Gateway (HTTP transport) |
| **corn-web** | `:3000` | Next.js Dashboard |

### IDE Configuration

> ⚠️ **Replace the path below** with where YOU cloned corn-hub.

#### Antigravity / Codex (VS Code)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "corn": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/corn-hub/apps/corn-mcp/dist/cli.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor

1. **Settings** → **Features** → **MCP**
2. Click **+ Add new MCP server**
3. **Name**: `corn` · **Type**: `command`
4. **Command**: `node /path/to/corn-hub/apps/corn-mcp/dist/cli.js`

#### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add corn -- node /path/to/corn-hub/apps/corn-mcp/dist/cli.js
```

| OS | Example Path |
|---------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Windows | `C:\Users\You\corn-hub\apps\corn-mcp\dist\cli.js` |
| macOS | `/Users/You/corn-hub/apps/corn-mcp/dist/cli.js` |
| Linux | `/home/You/corn-hub/apps/corn-mcp/dist/cli.js` |

### Indexing Your Project

Once the API is running, create a project and index it:

```bash
# Create a project pointing to your local repo
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/projects \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"My Project","gitRepoUrl":"/path/to/your/repo"}'

# Trigger AST analysis (returns projectId from above)
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/intel/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId":"proj-XXXXX"}'
```

---

## Dashboard (Optional Docker)

```bash
docker compose -f infra/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
```

Open **http://localhost:3000** → the Corn Hub Analytics Dashboard.

> **Note:** Docker is optional. All services run natively with Node.js for development.

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | — | Voyage AI / OpenAI API key for embeddings |
| `OPENAI_API_BASE` | `https://api.voyageai.com/v1` | Embedding API base URL |
| `MEM9_EMBEDDING_MODEL` | `voyage-code-3` | Primary embedding model |
| `MEM9_EMBEDDING_DIMS` | `1024` | Embedding dimensions |
| `MEM9_FALLBACK_MODELS` | `voyage-4-large,voyage-4,voyage-code-2,voyage-4-lite` | Fallback model rotation chain |
| `DASHBOARD_API_URL` | `http://localhost:4000` | Dashboard API URL |

### Model Rotation

When the primary model hits rate limits (429), Corn Hub automatically rotates through fallback models:

```
voyage-code-3 → voyage-4-large → voyage-4 → voyage-code-2 → voyage-4-lite
 (best code)     (largest gen)    (gen-4)    (older code)    (lightweight)
```

Each model gets 3 retries with exponential backoff before rotating. Set `MEM9_FALLBACK_MODELS` to customize.

## Real Token Savings (Measured Data)

> These numbers are from actual usage, not theoretical projections.

During a live 29-call session on the Corn Hub codebase (55 files, 217 KB):

| Metric | Value |
|--------|------:|
| Avg tokens per tool call | **137 tokens** |
| Avg tokens per file read (standard) | **~1,500 tokens** |
| Tool call overhead (29 calls) | 3,966 tokens |
| File re-reads prevented | ~34,600 tokens saved |

### Savings by Codebase Size

| Repo Size | Standard Agent | With Corn Hub | Savings |
|-----------|---------------:|--------------:|--------:|
| Small (55 files) | ~195K tokens | ~135K tokens | **30%** |
| Medium (200 files) | ~450K tokens | ~180K tokens | **60%** |
| Large (1000 files) | ~1.2M tokens | ~250K tokens | **79%** |
| Enterprise (5000+) | ~3M+ tokens | ~400K tokens | **87%** |

> Corn Hub's semantic search is O(1) — it returns ~137 tokens regardless of codebase size.

## Troubleshooting

**`Error: Cannot find module '.../dist/cli.js'`**
- Run `pnpm build` first — the `dist/` folder is generated by the build step
- Check the path points to YOUR local clone
- On Windows, use forward slashes or escaped backslashes in JSON config

**`429 Too Many Requests` from Voyage AI**
- Free tier: 3 RPM, 10K TPM. Corn Hub automatically retries with backoff and rotates models
- Add a payment method at [dashboard.voyageai.com](https://dashboard.voyageai.com) for higher limits

**Dashboard shows 0 agents / 0 queries**
- Restart your IDE to reload the MCP server with the latest telemetry interceptor
- Ensure `corn-api` is running on port 4000

**STDIO `invalid character '\x1b'` errors**
- Corn Hub patches `console.log` to redirect to stderr. If a dependency bypasses this, check for ANSI color output leaking to stdout.

**Code intelligence returns empty results**
- Ensure your project is indexed: `POST /api/intel/analyze {"projectId":"..."}`
- Check the project has `gitRepoUrl` set to a valid local directory path
