Task 1: Analyze Current Implementation & Plan Global Installation Enhancements #2
Description
Issue
As a developer wanting to use rails-active-mcp as a globally installed tool, I need a comprehensive analysis of the current implementation to understand what enhancements are needed for global installation support similar to other MCP servers like filesystem.
The current gem works well when installed within Rails projects, but lacks the CLI patterns and global configuration support that users expect from system-wide MCP tools in 2025.
Proposed Solution
Document the current implementation including Rails project detection logic, configuration system capabilities, and MCP SDK integration approach, then identify specific gaps and enhancement opportunities needed to transform this into a globally installable tool with Thor CLI interface and flexible configuration options.
Breakdown
- Document current Rails project detection logic in
exe/rails-active-mcp-server - Analyze current configuration system capabilities and limitations
- Identify specific enhancements needed for Thor CLI integration
- Document current MCP SDK server implementation approach
- Plan integration points for new functionality
- Identify backward compatibility requirements
Success Criteria
- Current Rails detection logic documented
- Configuration system limitations identified
- CLI enhancement requirements specified
- MCP SDK integration approach confirmed
- Backward compatibility strategy defined
- Enhancement implementation plan created
