README

LocalOps MCP Server

localops_mcp_server is a small Rust-based MCP server that communicates over stdin/stdout using JSON-RPC style messages. It exposes a set of local machine utilities for file access, shell command execution, system stats, macOS notification reading, simple file editing helpers, text diffing, Java rule lookup, and port cleanup.

The server is designed to be launched as a long-running process by an MCP-compatible client. It reads one JSON request per line from standard input and writes one JSON response per line to standard output.

What This Project Does

At runtime, the binary:

Starts an MCP-style request loop on stdin.
Accepts methods such as initialize, tools/list, and tools/call.
Dispatches tools/call requests to locally implemented Rust functions.
Returns tool results as JSON text content.

The current toolset includes:

Tool	Purpose
`localops.system.stats`	Returns current CPU and memory usage using `sysinfo`.
`localops.files.find_by_extension`	Recursively finds files by extension under a path.
`localops.files.read`	Reads a local file, with a 1 MB size cap.
`localops.files.write`	Writes or overwrites a file with supplied content.
`localops.shell.run`	Runs a `zsh -c` shell command and returns exit code, stdout, and stderr.
`localops.shell.stream`	Runs a command and streams stdout to stderr in real time.
`localops.notifications.read`	Reads recent macOS notifications and formats them as readable text.
`localops.notifications.triage`	Reads recent macOS notifications and returns structured JSON text for downstream triage.
`localops.files.insert_after_pattern`	Inserts a line after the first line matching an anchor pattern.
`localops.files.insert_after_line`	Inserts a line after a specific 1-based line number.
`localops.files.delete_lines_containing`	Removes lines containing a matching string.
`localops.files.delete_line`	Deletes a specific 1-based line number.
`localops.text.diff_words`	Produces a word-level diff between two long strings.
`localops.repo.find_java_rule_source`	Searches a repo for a Java file matching a rule name.
`localops.net.clear_port`	Kills a process bound to a port using `lsof` and `kill -9`.

Project Structure

.
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
    ├── main.rs
    ├── mcp_types.rs
    └── tools.rs

src/main.rs: MCP request loop and tool dispatch.
src/mcp_types.rs: request and response-related data types.
src/tools.rs: implementations for the server’s local tools.

Requirements

General

Rust toolchain with cargo
zsh available on the host machine

macOS-specific features

Some tools are macOS-specific:

read_notifications
get_notifications_for_triage

These tools read Apple’s local notifications database at:

~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.usernoted/db2/db

They may require Full Disk Access depending on your macOS privacy settings.

External command dependencies

Some tools assume the following commands exist on the host:

zsh
lsof
kill

Installation

Clone the repo and build it:

cargo build

Or run it directly without a separate build step:

cargo run

How To Run

This project is not an HTTP server. It is a line-oriented MCP process intended to be started by another tool or client.

Start the server

cargo run

After startup, the process waits for JSON messages on standard input.

Build a release binary

cargo build --release

The binary will be available at:

target/release/localops_mcp_server

You can then run it directly:

./target/release/localops_mcp_server

Example MCP Session

Send one JSON object per line.

Initialize

Input:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize"}

Expected response:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"capabilities":{}
