Node Command MCP server

nc-protocol

Public wire contracts, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool schemas, and agent protocol definitions for Node Command.

This repository is the canonical source of truth for the public Node Command contracts. It contains strictly declarative schemas and contracts: no proprietary server code, no database schemas, and no secrets.

Namespaces

agent/     Hub ↔ Agent wire protocol (hello / welcome / request / reply / heartbeat)
mcp/       Model-facing MCP surface (tool schemas + canonical tool manifest)
policy/    Public host-policy projection + capability names
browser/   Public browser and egress policy schemas
bindings/  Generated language bindings (JavaScript ESM)

Installation & Consumption

# As an npm dependency
npm install nc-protocol

Import JavaScript bindings directly:

import {
  MCP_TOOL_CONTRACT_VERSION,
  MCP_TOOL_MANIFEST_FINGERPRINT,
  MCP_TOOL_NAMES,
  HOST_POLICY_CAPABILITY_NAMES
} from 'nc-protocol';

JSON schemas can also be imported by subpath:

import helloSchema from 'nc-protocol/agent/hello.schema.json' with { type: 'json' };
import toolsIndex from 'nc-protocol/mcp/tools/index.json' with { type: 'json' };

Testing & Validation

nc-protocol has zero runtime dependencies and uses the native Node.js test runner:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/huseyincig/nc-protocol.git
cd nc-protocol

# Run test suite
npm test
# Or:
node --test tests/*.mjs

The test suite validates:

1. Presence of all required namespace files.
2. Exact matching between tool definitions, mcp/tools/index.json, and tool count.
3. Cryptographic consistency of the canonical sha256 manifest fingerprint.
4. Schema parse validity and schema draft conformance.
5. Binding parity with declarative contract files.
