🔌 MCP Integration

Available MCP Tools

The system provides 6 MCP tools for AI assistant integration:

1. search_aruba_apis - Natural language API search with full-text capabilities
2. get_api_request - Retrieve detailed API information by ID
3. list_api_categories - Browse APIs by functional categories
4. find_endpoints_by_resource - Find APIs by resource type (devices, sites, users)
5. get_auth_requirements - Get authentication requirements for APIs
6. generate_api_example - Generate code examples (cURL, JavaScript, Python)

MCP Server Configuration

// AI Assistant MCP Configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aruba-central": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DB_HOST": "localhost",
        "DB_PORT": "5433",
        "DB_NAME": "aruba_apis"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

# Start MCP server
npm run mcp:start

# Test MCP tools via REST API
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/mcp/tools/search_aruba_apis \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "device management", "limit": 5}'

📊 Database Schema

CREATE TABLE api_collections (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    description TEXT,
    version VARCHAR(50),
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Database Connection Issues

# Check Docker container status
docker ps | grep postgres

# View database logs
docker logs aruba_api_db

# Test connection
npm run db:migrate

Port Conflicts

# Check if ports are in use
lsof -i :3001  # API server
lsof -i :5433  # PostgreSQL
lsof -i :3002  # MCP server

# Kill processes using ports
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:3001)
