+# MicroMcp Agent Instructions
+
+MicroMcp is a Ruby gem with a Rust extension. It provides a simple way to build MCP servers that run over stdio. All Ruby sources are under `lib/`, while the Rust extension lives in `ext/micro_mcp`.
+
+## Running checks
+
+Always run `bundle exec rake` before committing. This command compiles the extension, runs Ruby and Rust tests, and lints the code with StandardRB and clippy. Additionally, run `cargo fmt --all` to keep the Rust code formatted consistently.
+When features or important fixes are introduced, update `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly.
+
+## Development tips
+
+- Use Ruby 3.1 or newer.
+- Install dependencies with `bin/setup` or `bundle install`.
+- Avoid committing build artifacts such as `target/` from Cargo.
+
+## Developing practices
+
+Always create a test to validate new features. It is ok to adapt tests for changes to existing features, unless those changes are big and don't invalidate standing assumptions.

+# MicroMcp
+
+MicroMcp is a tiny framework for building [MCP](https://github.com/openai/AIAPI-Protocol) servers in Ruby.  It ships with a Rust extension that handles the low level protocol while your Ruby code focuses on registering tools.
+
+The gem is available on [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/gems/micro_mcp).
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the gem to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem "micro_mcp"
+```
+
+Then execute:
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+```
+
+Or install it directly with RubyGems:
+
+```bash
+gem install micro_mcp
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Define one or more tools and start the server:
+
+```ruby
+require "micro_mcp"
+
+ MicroMcp::ToolRegistry.register_tool(name: "say_hello") do
+  "Hello World!"
+end
+
+# Tools can also accept arguments defined using JSON Schema.
+# The arguments hash is provided as the first block parameter.
+ MicroMcp::ToolRegistry.register_tool(
+  name: "add_numbers",
+  description: "Adds two integers",
+  arguments: {
+    "type" => "object",
+    "properties" => {
+      "a" => {"type" => "integer"},
+      "b" => {"type" => "integer"}
+    },
+    "required" => ["a", "b"]
+  }
+) do |args, _runtime|
+  (args["a"] + args["b"]).to_s
+end
+
+MicroMcp.start_server
+```
+
+## Development
+
+After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
+
+To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
+
+## Contributing
+
+Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/ekroon/micro_mcp.
+
+## License
+
+The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).

+# MicroMCP Ergonomic Improvements
+
+## Problem
+
+The original MCP tool creation was error-prone due to several issues:
+
+1. **Missing return value handling** - Easy to forget `result["content"]["text"]`
+2. **Cryptic error messages** - "no implicit conversion of Hash into String"
+3. **Symbol vs String key confusion** - JSON requires string keys
+4. **Repetitive boilerplate** - Same patterns repeated in every tool
+5. **No validation** - Hard to debug parameter issues
+
+## Solution
+
+We've added several layers of improvements to make tool creation more ergonomic and less error-prone:
+
+### 1. Helper Methods (`runtime_helpers.rb`)
+
+```ruby
+# Simple question-answering
+runtime.ask_assistant("What is the capital of France?")
+
+# Multi-message conversations
+runtime.chat_with_assistant([
+  "Let's discuss Ruby",
+  {"role" => "assistant", "content" => {"type" => "text", "text" => "I'd love to help!"}},
+  "What are the key features?"
+])
+
+# Safe wrapper with validation
+runtime.safe_create_message(params)
+```
+
+### 2. Enhanced Tool Registration (`tool_registry.rb`)
+
+```ruby
+# One-liner for simple Q&A tools
+TR.register_qa_tool(
+  name: "ask",
+  description: "Ask a question"
+)
+
+# Enhanced registration with error handling
+TR.register_assistant_tool(name: "custom", description: "Custom tool") do |args, runtime|
+  runtime.ask_assistant(args["question"])
+end
+```
+
+### 3. Validation System (`validation_helpers.rb`)
+
+- Pre-flight validation of `create_message` parameters
+- Clear error messages for common mistakes
+- Automatic symbol-to-string key conversion
+- Structural validation of message format
+
+## Response Format Handling
+
+The system now properly handles the MCP response format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "role": "assistant",
+  "content": {
+    "type": "text",
+    "text": "The actual response text"
+  },
+  "model": "o4-mini",
+  "stopReason": "endTurn"
+}
+```
+
+Helper methods automatically extract `result["content"]["text"]` with proper error handling.
+
+## Before vs After
+
+### Before (Error-prone)
+```ruby
+TR.register_tool(
+  name: "ask",
+  arguments: S.object(question: S.string.required)
+) do |args, runtime|
+  result = runtime.create_message({
+    "messages" => [
+      {"role" => "user", "content" => {"type" => "text", "text" => args["question"]}}
+    ],
+    "modelPreferences" => {
+      "hints" => [{"name" => "o4-mini"}],
+      "intelligencePriority" => 0.8,
+      "speedPriority" => 0.5
+    },
+    "systemPrompt" => "You are a helpful assistant.",
+    "maxTokens" => 100
+  })
+  result["content"]["text"]  # Easy to forget!
+end
+```
+
+### After (Simple)
+```ruby
+# One-liner approach
+TR.register_qa_tool(name: "ask", description: "Ask a question")
+
+# Or with customization
+TR.register_assistant_tool(name: "ask", description: "Ask a question") do |args, runtime|
+  runtime.ask_assistant(args["question"])
+end
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The new system provides:
+
+1. **Pre-validation** - Catches errors before sending to MCP
+2. **Clear error messages** - Explains what went wrong
+3. **Automatic error recovery** - Handles common formatting issues
+4. **Debug mode** - Set `ENV['MCP_DEBUG']` for detailed logging
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+All existing tools continue to work unchanged. The improvements are additive.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+See `test/support/ergonomic_test.rb` and `test/support/ergonomic_examples.rb` for comprehensive examples.
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. ✅ **Reduced boilerplate** - Simple tools are one-liners
+2. ✅ **Better error messages** - Clear validation feedback
+3. ✅ **Automatic result extraction** - No more forgetting return values
+4. ✅ **Symbol key safety** - Automatic string conversion
+5. ✅ **Validation** - Catch issues before they cause problems
+6. ✅ **Backward compatible** - Existing code keeps working

+# Rust Development Agent Instructions
+
+This directory contains Rust code that interfaces with Ruby via FFI. These instructions help agents navigate Rust source code efficiently.
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+The following environment variables should be exported for Rust source navigation:
+
+```bash
+# Standard library source (requires `rustup component add rust-src`)
+export RUST_STD_SRC="$(rustc --print sysroot)/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library"
+
+# Crates.io tarball cache (downloaded by `cargo fetch`)
+export RUST_CRATE_SRC="${CARGO_HOME:-$HOME/.cargo}/registry/src"
+
+# Git checkouts for dependencies using `git = "..."`
+export RUST_GIT_SRC="${CARGO_HOME:-$HOME/.cargo}/git/checkouts"
+```
+
+## Helper Commands
+
+### Locating Standard Library Items
+
+```bash
+rg "pub .* <TypeOrFnName>" "$RUST_STD_SRC"
+```
+
+### Finding Versioned Crates
+
+```bash
+# Example: finding serde 1.0.200
+rg --files "$RUST_CRATE_SRC" | grep '/serde-1\.0\.200/' | head -n1
+# Then search inside that path
+```
+
+### Locating Git Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Example: finding a crate directory containing 'mycrate'
+find "$RUST_GIT_SRC" -maxdepth 3 -type d -name '*mycrate*' | head
+```
+
+### Quick Jump to Crate Root
+
+```bash
+cargo metadata --format-version 1 --no-deps \
+  | jq -r '.packages[] | select(.name=="tokio") | .manifest_path' \
+  | xargs dirname
+```
+
+## Agent Rules
+
+1. **Source Code Lookup Order**: Always search in this order:
+   - `$RUST_STD_SRC` (standard library)
+   - `$RUST_CRATE_SRC` (crates.io dependencies)
+   - `$RUST_GIT_SRC` (git dependencies)
+
+2. **Exact Signatures**: Copy the **exact** function/type signature you find in the source. If no match is found, report:
+   - Which symbol is missing
+   - Which directory was searched
+   - Stop and ask for clarification
+
+3. **FFI Considerations**: This project uses Ruby FFI, so pay attention to:
+   - Memory management between Rust and Ruby
+   - Proper error handling across language boundaries
+   - Thread safety considerations
