MCP Server Implementation for igniteui-cli ✅ COMPLETE

Successfully implemented a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the igniteui-cli that enables AI assistants to create and manage Ignite UI projects programmatically.

Implementation Completed

  • Create MCP server package structure under packages/mcp-server
  • Install MCP SDK dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.20.0)
  • Implement MCP server with tools for:
    • create_igniteui_project - Creates projects for Angular, React, Web Components, jQuery ✅ Tested
    • upgrade_to_licensed - Upgrades from trial to licensed version ✅ Tested
    • generate_from_docs - Generates code from Ignite UI documentation ✅ Tested
  • Add TypeScript configuration for MCP server
  • Create package.json with proper dependencies and scripts
  • Implement tool handlers for each command
  • Add comprehensive documentation (README.md, USAGE.md)
  • Update root README with MCP server information
  • Add example configuration file for Claude Desktop
  • Document all project types and framework-specific options
  • Verify MCP server works correctly with test client
  • Create implementation summary
  • Resolve merge conflict in yarn.lock with master branch

Merge Conflict Resolution

Merged latest changes from master branch:

  • Updated eazy-logger from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0
  • Incorporated version bumps to 14.6.4
  • Updated CHANGELOG.md with latest release notes
  • Preserved all MCP server dependencies

Key Features

✅ Framework Support: Angular, React, Web Components, jQuery
✅ Project Types: igx-ts, igr-es6, igr-ts, igc-ts, js
✅ Templates: empty, side-nav, side-nav-auth, and more
✅ Upgrade Path: Trial to licensed version conversion
✅ Documentation Access: Component documentation and examples
✅ AI Integration: Works with Claude Desktop and MCP clients

All tools tested and verified working! 🎉

Original prompt

Create an igniteui-cli MCP server implementation, which exposes command for generating code project repositories for chosen framework - Angular, React, Web Components, jQuery - based on the capabilities of the ig new command of the igniteui-cli. The MCP server should also expose commands for upgrading a repository from trial to licensed version of ignite ui, and for producing Ignite UI library code based on the products' documentation. The commands should support Ignite UI for Angular, Ignite UI for React, Ignite UI for Web Components, Ignite UI for jQuery.

@copilot can you resolve the conflict in the PR?

Resolved the merge conflict in yarn.lock. The conflict was due to the eazy-logger dependency being updated from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0 in master. I've merged master into this branch, accepting the newer version while preserving all MCP server dependencies. Commit: 46b73dc
