✨ Lucidity MCP 🔍

Clarity in Code, Confidence in Creation

Lucidity is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enhance the quality of AI-generated code through intelligent, prompt-based analysis. By providing structured guidance to AI coding assistants, Lucidity helps identify and address common quality issues, resulting in cleaner, more maintainable, and more robust code.

Before you commit, just ask Lucidity to analyze the changes instead of vibe-coding yourself into a nightmare hellscape! 😱 💥 🚫

💫 Features

🔮 Comprehensive Issue Detection - Covers 10 critical quality dimensions from complexity to security vulnerabilities
🔄 Contextual Analysis - Compares changes against original code to identify unintended modifications
🌐 Language Agnostic - Works with any programming language the AI assistant understands
🎯 Focused Analysis - Option to target specific issue types based on project needs
📝 Structured Outputs - Guides AI to provide actionable feedback with clear recommendations
🤖 MCP Integration - Seamless integration with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants
🪶 Lightweight Implementation - Simple server design with minimal dependencies
🧩 Extensible Framework - Easy to add new issue types or refine analysis criteria
🔀 Flexible Transport - Supports both stdio for terminal-based interaction and SSE for network-based communication
🔄 Git-Aware Analysis - Analyzes changes directly from git diff, making it ideal for pre-commit reviews

🚀 Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/hyperbliss/lucidity-mcp.git
cd lucidity-mcp

# Set up a virtual environment with UV
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies with UV
uv sync

📋 Prerequisites

Python 3.13 or higher
Git (for analyzing code changes)
UV package manager (recommended for dependency management)

🔮 Quick Start

Run the Lucidity server

# Start with stdio transport (for terminal use)
lucidity-mcp

# Start with SSE transport (for network use)
lucidity-mcp --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 6969

# Run with debug logging
lucidity-mcp --debug

# Run with file logging
lucidity-mcp --log-file lucidity.log

Using with AI Assistants

Start Lucidity in SSE mode:
```
lucidity-mcp --transport sse
```
Connect your AI assistant using the MCP protocol URI:
```
sse://localhost:6969/sse
```
The AI can now invoke the analyze_changes tool to get code quality feedback!

🧠 Analysis Dimensions

Lucidity analyzes code across 10 critical quality dimensions:

Unnecessary Complexity - Identifies overly complex algorithms, excessive abstractions, and convoluted logic
Poor Abstractions - Detects leaky or inappropriate abstractions and unclear separation of concerns
Unintended Code Deletion - Catches accidental removal of critical functionality or validation
Hallucinated Components - Finds references to non-existent functions, classes, or APIs
Style Inconsistencies - Spots deviations from project coding standards and conventions
Security Vulnerabilities - Identifies potential security issues in code changes
Performance Issues - Detects inefficient algorithms or operations that could impact performance
Code Duplication - Finds repeated logic or functionality that should be refactored
Incomplete Error Handling - Spots missing or inadequate exception handling
Test Coverage Gaps - Identifies missing tests for critical functionality

📊 Example AI Assistant Queries

With an AI assistant connected to Lucidity, try these queries:

"Analyze the code quality in my latest git changes"
"Check for security vulnerabilities in my JavaScript changes"
"Make sure my Python code follows best practices"
"Identify any performance issues in my recent code changes"
"Are there any unintended side effects in my recent refactoring?"
"Help me improve the abstractions in my code"
"Check if I've accidentally removed any important validation"
"Find any hallucinated API calls in my latest commit"
"Is my error handling complete and robust?"
"Are there any test coverage gaps in my new feature?"

🛠️ Available MCP Tools

Tools

analyze_changes - Prepares git changes for analysis through MCP
- Parameters:
  - workspace_root: The root directory of the workspace/git repository
  - path: Optional specific file path to analyze

💻 Development

Lucidity uses UV for dependency management and development workflows. UV is a fast, reliable Python package manager and resolver.

# Update dependencies
uv sync

# Run tests
pytest

# Run linting
ruff check .

# Run type checking
mypy .

🔧 Logging Behavior

Lucidity handles logging differently depending on the transport:

SSE transport: Full console logging is enabled
Stdio transport with --log-file: All logs go to the file, console is disabled
Stdio transport without --log-file: Only warnings and errors go to stderr, info logs are disabled

This ensures that stdio communication isn't broken by logs appearing on stdout.

🎛️ Command-line Options

usage: lucidity-mcp [-h] [--debug] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--transport {stdio,sse}]
                [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [--verbose]
                [--log-file LOG_FILE]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debug               Enable debug logging
  --host HOST           Host to bind the server to (use 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces)
  --port PORT           Port to listen on for network connections
  --transport {stdio,sse}
                        Transport type to use (stdio for terminal, sse for network)
  --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}
                        Set the logging level
  --verbose             Enable verbose logging for HTTP requests
  --log-file LOG_FILE   Path to log file (required for stdio transport if logs enabled)
