## About

# spring-nacos-mcp

[中文文档](README.zh-CN.md)

**A project-aware, read-only Nacos MCP server for Spring Cloud repositories.**

Point it at your Spring Cloud repo. It reads your own `application-*` / `bootstrap-*`
files, discovers every environment (dev / test / pre / prod / ...), and gives your AI
assistant read-only Nacos tools across **all** of them — no host, port, namespace or
token to configure.

```text
You:    "Is sso.server.productCode consistent between dev and test?"

Claude: → nacos_search_config(env=dev, keyword=sso.server.productCode)
        → nacos_diff_config(env_a=dev, env_b=test, data_id=sso.properties)

        "Yes — the value is identical in both environments (`PC-1001`).
         One related key differs though: sso.server.url points to
         dev-sso.corp.com in dev and test-sso.corp.com in test."
```

## Why not the official `nacos-mcp-server`?

The official [nacos-group/nacos-mcp-server](https://github.com/nacos-group/nacos-mcp-server)
connects to **one cluster** that you configure by hand (`--host`, `--port`, `--access_token`).
That's the right tool for operating a Nacos cluster.

This project answers a different question: *"what does **my project's** config look
like across environments?"*

| | official nacos-mcp-server | spring-nacos-mcp |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | manual host/port/token per cluster | **zero-config**: parsed from your repo |
| Environments | one per server instance | all profiles, `env` param on every tool |
| Cross-env diff | not possible (single cluster) | built-in `nacos_diff_config` |
| Spring awareness | none | shared-configs, file-extension, app config |
| Write operations | planned | **never** (read-only by design) |

## Quickstart

### The easy way: let your AI agent install it

Paste this into Cursor / Claude Code / Codex / Trae:

> Install the MCP server from https://github.com/kestiny18/spring-nacos-mcp
> into this project and verify it works.

The repo ships an [llms-install.md](llms-install.md) with exact steps per client,
so the agent can do the whole thing — download, config, verification — by itself.

### Manual, option A: copy one file (no PyPI, no dependencies)

The whole server is a single, zero-dependency, standard-library-only Python file.
Drop it into your repo:

```bash
curl -sfL -o tools/nacos_mcp.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kestiny18/spring-nacos-mcp/main/src/spring_nacos_mcp/server.py
```

```jsonc
// .cursor/mcp.json or .mcp.json (Claude Code), at the repo root
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spring-nacos-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["tools/nacos_mcp.py"] }
  }
}
```

Works on intranet machines too — copy the file over however you like.

### Manual, option B: uv / pip straight from git

```jsonc
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spring-nacos-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/kestiny18/spring-nacos-mcp", "spring-nacos-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Or `pip install git+https://github.com/kestiny18/spring-nacos-mcp` and use the
`spring-nacos-mcp` command.

The server auto-detects the repo root from its working directory (your editor's
workspace). For clients that don't launch servers in the workspace (e.g. Claude
Desktop), pin it: `"args": [..., "--repo", "/path/to/repo"]`.

### Verify your setup

```bash
python tools/nacos_mcp.py --check       # or: spring-nacos-mcp --check
```

Prints every discovered environment, where it came from, and whether the Nacos
server is reachable. Exit codes: `0` all reachable · `1` nothing discovered ·
`2` discovered but some unreachable (usually VPN/network, not setup).

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `nacos_list_envs` | List discovered environments with address/namespace/groups |
| `nacos_get_config` | Read one config's raw content by dataId |
| `nacos_get_app_config` | App config + the shared/extension configs your project declares |
| `nacos_list_configs` | List dataIds in a namespace (optional fuzzy filter) |
| `nacos_search_config` | Full-text search across all config contents |
| `nacos_diff_config` | **Key-level diff of one config between two environments** |
| `nacos_list_services` | List services in the discovery registry |
| `nacos_list_instances` | List online instances (IP/port/health) of a service |

## How discovery works

1. Find the repo root (`.git`, `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `mvnw`, `gradlew`, ...).
2. Scan every `*/src/main/resources/` for
   `application[-].{yml,yaml,properties}` and `bootstrap[-].{yml,yaml,properties}`.
   Multi-document YAML with `spring.config.activate.on-profile` (or legacy
   `spring.profiles`) is supported.
3. For each profile, merge sources in priority order:
   `bootstrap-` → `application-` → base `bootstrap` → base `application`.
4. Extract `spring.cloud.nacos.*`: server-addr, namespace, username/password, config
   group (also from `spring.config.import: nacos:...?group=X`), discovery group,
   `file-extension`, `shared-configs` / `extension-configs` / legacy `shared-dataids`.
   Relaxed binding (`server-addr` / `serverAddr` / `server_addr`) is handled.
5. `${...}` placeholders are resolved from environment variables
   (`${nacos.addr}` also tries `NACOS_ADDR`); `${name:default}` uses the default.
   Environments with unresolved placeholders are skipped with a clear log line.

### Overrides

Environment variables (highest precedence), `` is the upper-cased profile name:

```bash
NACOS_DEV_SERVER_ADDR / NACOS_DEV_NAMESPACE / NACOS_DEV_USERNAME /
NACOS_DEV_PASSWORD / NACOS_DEV_GROUP / NACOS_DEV_CONTEXT_PATH
NACOS_USERNAME / NACOS_PASSWORD          # global fallback credentials
```

Or a `.spring-nacos-mcp.yml` at the repo root — patch discovered environments or
define ones that aren't in the repo at all:

```yaml
envs:
  staging:
    server-addr: nacos-staging.corp.com:8848
    namespace: ns-staging
    username: readonly
    password: ${STAGING_NACOS_PASSWORD}   # resolved from env var
```

## Security notes

- **Read-only by construction**: the only endpoints ever called are config/service
  GET queries and the login endpoint. There is no code path that writes to Nacos.
- **Config content reaches the LLM.** If your configs contain secrets, enable
  masking: `SPRING_NACOS_MCP_MASK=1` masks values whose keys contain
  `password/secret/token/credential/...`, or provide your own list:
  `SPRING_NACOS_MCP_MASK=password,apikey`. Masking is off by default.
- Prefer a read-only Nacos account (via `NACOS_USERNAME` / `NACOS_PASSWORD`) over
  credentials committed in config files.

## Compatibility

- Python ≥ 3.9, zero runtime dependencies.
- Nacos 1.x / 2.x via the v1 OpenAPI; auth via `/v1/auth/login` with automatic
  fallback to `/v3/auth/user/login` (Nacos 3.x). `https://` server addresses and
  comma-separated cluster address lists are supported.
- Nacos 3.x keeps v1 OpenAPI compatibility in current releases; if your deployment
  disables it, please open an issue — a v3 API backend is on the roadmap.

## Limitations

- The built-in YAML parser covers the subset used by Spring config files
  (nested maps, lists, multi-document). Anchors and flow collections are ignored.
- Placeholders that come from Maven profile filtering (`@...@`) are not resolved;
  use the override file for those repos.
