- MCP server now uses daemon client by default with CLI fallback - Added BEADS_USE_DAEMON environment variable (default: enabled) - Created multi-repo integration test (all tests pass) - Updated .gitignore for daemon runtime files - Added SETUP_DAEMON.md with migration instructions - Closed bd-105 (investigation complete) and bd-114 (multi-server confusion) This enables single MCP server to handle multiple repos via daemon with per-request context routing. No more multiple MCP server configs! Amp-Thread-ID: https://ampcode.com/threads/T-c222692e-f6ef-4649-9726-db59470b82ef Co-authored-by: Amp <amp@ampcode.com>

## Development
|
|
|
|
Run MCP inspector:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# inside beads-mcp dir
|
|
uv run fastmcp dev src/beads_mcp/server.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Type checking:
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run mypy src/beads_mcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Linting and formatting:
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run ruff check src/beads_mcp
|
|
uv run ruff format src/beads_mcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
Run all tests:
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run pytest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With coverage:
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run pytest --cov=beads_mcp tests/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test suite includes both mocked unit tests and integration tests with real `bd` CLI.
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Repo Integration Test
|
|
|
|
Test daemon RPC with multiple repositories:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Start the daemon first
|
|
cd /path/to/beads
|
|
./bd daemon start
|
|
|
|
# Run multi-repo test
|
|
cd integrations/beads-mcp
|
|
uv run python test_multi_repo.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This test verifies that the daemon can handle operations across multiple repositories simultaneously using per-request context routing.
