概述

将 agentmemory 的 6 个 hook REST 端点暴露为 MCP 工具,使纯 MCP 客户端(如 LineCodePro)在没有宿主 hook 系统的情况下也能触发相同的生命周期事件。

背景

当前这些端点只能通过 host hook 脚本(Claude Code 等)调用。纯 MCP 客户端没有 hook runner,无法写入观察数据或管理会话生命周期。

改动

MCP 工具 对应 REST 端点 映射方式
memory_observe /agentmemory/observe mem::observe 直接触发
memory_session_start /agentmemory/session/start api::session::start 包装触发
memory_session_end /agentmemory/session/end api::session::end 包装触发
memory_session_commit /agentmemory/session/commit api::session::commit 包装触发
memory_enrich /agentmemory/enrich mem::enrich 直接触发
memory_context /agentmemory/context mem::context 直接触发

验证

6 个工具全部通过端到端验证(会话创建、观察写入、会话结束、提交关联、上下文注入、上下文获取)。

兼容性

  • 原 hook 脚本和 REST 端点完整保留,三路并存
  • 全平台适用,无平台硬编码

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added MCP tools for capturing observations, managing sessions, linking commits, enriching data, and retrieving context.
    • Added authenticated JSON-RPC support for listing and calling available tools.
    • Added input validation and clear fallback responses for tool operations.
    • Added optional debug logging for JSON-RPC activity.

Expose 6 hook REST endpoints as MCP tools so pure MCP clients
(without host hook runners) can trigger the same lifecycle events:

- memory_observe          -> /agentmemory/observe
- memory_session_start    -> /agentmemory/session/start
- memory_session_end      -> /agentmemory/session/end
- memory_session_commit   -> /agentmemory/session/commit
- memory_enrich           -> /agentmemory/enrich
- memory_context          -> /agentmemory/context

Mapping: mem::* functions triggered directly; api::* functions
wrapped as { body: {...} } because ApiRequest destructures req.body.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP server now exposes six memory tools, centralizes tool-call processing, and adds an authenticated JSON-RPC endpoint for tool listing and invocation. Optional JSON-RPC request logging writes to a configurable directory.

Changes

MCP integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Memory tool contracts and handling
src/mcp/tools-registry.ts, src/mcp/server.ts
Registers six memory tools. The shared handler validates arguments, maps payloads, unwraps responses, and returns text content or validation errors.
Registered tool-call wiring
src/mcp/server.ts
Routes mcp::tools::call through the shared handler.
Authenticated JSON-RPC endpoint
src/mcp/server.ts
Adds mcp::jsonrpc support for tools/list and tools/call, with errors for unsupported methods or missing tool names. Optional request logging uses configurable environment variables.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5d249

This change can expose the shared API credential in debug logs and may prevent standard MCP clients from completing the connection handshake, while invalid observation inputs can still be persisted. These are concrete security and integration issues that should be fixed before merging.

248-264: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the duplicated tool-to-endpoint mapping comments. Both files carry a banner comment that restates the six memory_* tool names, their REST paths, and the payload-wrapping rule. The code below each banner already states the same facts through the case labels and the function_id values, and the two copies will drift as tools are added.

  • src/mcp/tools-registry.ts#L248-L264: delete the banner. The name field of each definition identifies the tool.
  • src/mcp/server.ts#L1276-L1286: delete the banner. If the mem::* versus api::* payload rule needs a durable home, record it once in the repository docs or in an ADR rather than in two source files.

As per coding guidelines: "Do not add comments that explain what code does; use clear naming instead."

Move the hardcoded Chinese usage hint out of the tool descriptions.

tools/list rewrites the description of every tool with a fixed Chinese prefix and per-tool examples for memory_recall and memory_save. Three consequences follow. Non-Chinese clients receive text they cannot use. /agentmemory/mcp/tools and /agentmemory/jsonrpc now report different descriptions for the same tool. New tools that need an example require an edit to this switch expression instead of the registry.

Keep the calling-convention hint in the tool definitions in src/mcp/tools-registry.ts, or add an optional usageHint field there and localize it.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate data and hookType in memory_observe.

The tool schema marks data as required, but this handler defaults it to {} and accepts any type. A caller that omits data, or sends a string, still writes an observation with no usable payload. hookType also accepts any non-empty string, so an unrecognized event type reaches mem::observe.

Reject both cases at the boundary.

As per coding guidelines: "Validate inputs at system boundaries, including MCP handlers and REST endpoints."

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Redact the authorization header before writing the debug log.

debugJsonRpc writes req.headers verbatim. checkAuth at Line 57 reads the bearer secret from req.headers["authorization"]. When AGENTMEMORY_DEBUG_JSONRPC=1, the shared MCP secret is persisted in cleartext to ${dir}/jsonrpc.log, which defaults to a relative path in the process working directory and is never rotated. Any reader of that file gains full API access.

Strip credential headers, and consider gating body capture as well, because request bodies carry memory content.

Model Context Protocol specification JSON-RPC initialize tools/list tools/call response envelope

💡 Result:

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) uses JSON-RPC 2.0 for all communications [1][2]. Every message exchanged between an MCP client and server must adhere to this standard, featuring a jsonrpc version ("2.0"), a unique id (must not be null), and method-specific params [1][2][3]. Initialization Handshake The session begins with an initialize request, where the client and server exchange information and negotiate capabilities [3]. Request example: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": { "protocolVersion": "2025-06-18", "capabilities": {... }, "clientInfo": { "name": "example-client", "version": "1.0.0" } } } Tools Management 1. tools/list: Clients use this to discover available tools [4][5]. The server returns a list of tool objects, each containing its name, description, and inputSchema (JSON Schema) [5][6][7]. Request: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/list" } 2. tools/call: Clients use this to invoke a tool by name with arguments [4][8]. Request: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_weather", "arguments": { "location": "New York" } } } Response Envelope All successful responses are structured as a JSON-RPC Result Response [9][10]. The envelope includes the jsonrpc version, the matching id from the original request, and a result object [9][10][11]. { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "result": { "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "Current weather in New York: Sunny" } ], "isError": false } } If a request fails or requires further input (such as in Multi Round-Trip Requests), the server may return an error object or a specific result type (e.g., input_required) [4][2][12].

Return JSON-RPC 2.0 envelopes from mcp::jsonrpc.

The MCP HTTP endpoint returns bare { tools } and tool results, without jsonrpc, the request id, or result. It also returns non-compliant bare errors and rejects initialize, so standard MCP clients cannot complete the handshake. Match the envelope behavior in src/mcp/transport.ts, or rename this route as a non-MCP HTTP shim.

In `@src/mcp/server.ts` around lines 1530 - 1571, Update the mcp::jsonrpc handler
to implement JSON-RPC 2.0 envelopes, preserving the request id and wrapping
successful tools/list and tools/call responses in result fields. Return
compliant error envelopes for validation and unsupported methods, and add
initialize handling consistent with the existing MCP transport implementation in
transport.ts.
