24
+ ## Tools
25
+
26
+ Five tools for working with Stack Overflow and the wider Stack Exchange network:
27
+
28
+ | Tool | Description |
29
+ |:---|:---|
30
+ | `stackexchange_search_questions` | Search questions across a Stack Exchange site with full-text query, tag filters, score threshold, and sort order |
31
+ | `stackexchange_get_thread` | Fetch a complete Q&A thread — question body and all answers as clean markdown, accepted answer first |
32
+ | `stackexchange_get_tag_faq` | Fetch the highest-voted answered questions for a tag — the canonical "best answers in X" list |
33
+ | `stackexchange_get_user` | Fetch a user profile by ID: reputation, badge counts, top tags by answer score, and account metadata |
34
+ | `stackexchange_list_sites` | Enumerate all Stack Exchange network sites and their `api_site_parameter` values |
35
+
36
+ ### `stackexchange_search_questions`
37
+
38
+ Search questions across any Stack Exchange site.
39
+
40
+ - Full-text search with optional tag filters, minimum score threshold, and accepted-only filter
41
+ - Sort by relevance, votes, activity, or newest
42
+ - Returns question ID, title, score, answer count, tags, and excerpt — IDs flow directly into `stackexchange_get_thread`
43
+ - Quota remaining surfaced on every response so agents can plan around rate limits
44
+
45
+ ---
46
+
47
+ ### `stackexchange_get_thread`
48
+
49
+ Fetch a complete Q&A thread in one call — the server's primary value-add.
50
+
51
+ - Accepts a numeric question ID or a full Stack Exchange question URL
52
+ - Fetches question body + all answers in parallel (two upstream calls via `Promise.all`)
53
+ - HTML→markdown normalization baked in: `<pre><code>` → fenced code blocks, `<p>`, `<a>`, lists, headers, blockquotes all converted
54
+ - Accepted answer always first, then sorted by score descending
55
+ - Attribution (author display name + profile link + score) included on each answer per CC BY-SA 4.0
56
+ - Configurable `maxAnswers` (default 10, up to 100)
57
+
58
+ ---
59
+
60
+ ### `stackexchange_get_tag_faq`
61
+
62
+ Browse the authoritative community answers on a topic.
63
+
64
+ - Maps to `/tags/{tag}/faq` — the highest-voted answered questions in a tag
65
+ - Returns question list without bodies; pipe any result into `stackexchange_get_thread` for full content
66
+ - Useful for "what are the canonical resources on Python async?" type queries
67
+
68
+ ---
69
+
70
+ ### `stackexchange_get_user`
71
+
72
+ Credibility context for an answer author.
73
+
74
+ - Fetches profile + top tags in parallel (two upstream calls)
75
+ - Returns reputation, badge counts (gold/silver/bronze), location, website, post counts, and top 10 tags by answer score
76
+ - `owner.user_id` from `stackexchange_get_thread` output can be passed directly
77
+
78
+ ---
79
+
80
+ ### `stackexchange_list_sites`
81
+
82
+ Discover `api_site_parameter` values for any Stack Exchange community.
83
+
84
+ - Fetches the full ~190-site network list live; optional case-insensitive name filter applied client-side
85
+ - The `api_site_parameter` value (e.g. `stackoverflow`, `superuser`, `serverfault`) is what every other tool's `site` parameter accepts
86
+
87
+ ---
88
+
89
+ ## Features
90
+
91
+ Built on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):
92
+
93
+ - Declarative tool definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation
94
+ - Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats
95
+ - Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`
96
+ - Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`
97
+ - Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing
98
+ - STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports
99
+
100
+ Stack Exchange-specific:
101
+
102
+ - Custom HTML→markdown normalizer covers the full SE post tag set with no external dependencies
103
+ - Backoff tracking: respects the `backoff` field in SE API responses to avoid throttling
104
+ - Quota logging: `quota_remaining` and `quota_max` surfaced via enrichment on every tool call
105
+ - Typed error contracts for `invalid_site`, `question_not_found`, `user_not_found`, `invalid_id_or_url`, and `quota_exceeded`
106
+ - Parallel upstream calls in `get_thread` and `get_user` via `Promise.all`
107
+ - Optional `STACKEXCHANGE_API_KEY` lifts the per-IP quota from ~300/day to ~10,000/day with no OAuth required
108
+
109
+ Agent-friendly output:
110
+
111
+ - Quota remaining on every response — agents can plan around rate limits without the server needing to fail
112
+ - Accepted-answer-first ordering is hardcoded — the community's explicit quality signal, not a preference
113
+ - Attribution on every answer per CC BY-SA 4.0 — provenance preserved without agent effort
114
+ - Typed `not_found` errors for missing questions and users (SE returns HTTP 200 with empty `items[]` — the server handles this correctly)
115
+
116
+ ---
117
+
118
+ ## Getting started
119
+
120
+ Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.
121
+
122
+ ```json
123
+ {
124
+ "mcpServers": {
125
+ "stackexchange": {
126
+ "type": "stdio",
127
+ "command": "bunx",
128
+ "args": ["@cyanheads/stackexchange-mcp-server@latest"],
129
+ "env": {
130
+ "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE": "stdio",
131
+ "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "info"
132
+ }
133
+ }
134
+ }
135
+ }
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ Or with npx (no Bun required):
139
+
140
+ ```json
141
+ {
142
+ "mcpServers": {
143
+ "stackexchange": {
144
+ "type": "stdio",
145
+ "command": "npx",
146
+ "args": ["-y", "@cyanheads/stackexchange-mcp-server@latest"],
147
+ "env": {
148
+ "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE": "stdio",
149
+ "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "info"
150
+ }
151
+ }
152
+ }
153
+ }
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ Or with Docker:
157
+
158
+ ```json
159
+ {
160
+ "mcpServers": {
161
+ "stackexchange": {
162
+ "type": "stdio",
163
+ "command": "docker",
164
+ "args": [
165
+ "run", "-i", "--rm",
166
+ "-e", "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio",
167
+ "ghcr.io/cyanheads/stackexchange-mcp-server:latest"
168
+ ]
169
+ }
170
+ }
171
+ }
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ For Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:
175
+
176
+ ```sh
177
+ MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http
178
+ # Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ **Rate limits:** The Stack Exchange API allows ~300 requests/day per IP without a key. Set `STACKEXCHANGE_API_KEY` in `env` to lift this to ~10,000/day. Register a key at [stackapps.com/apps/oauth/register](https://stackapps.com/apps/oauth/register) (the OAuth flow is only required for write access — a key alone is sufficient for read-only use).
182
+
183
+ ### Prerequisites
184
+
185
+ - [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+)
186
+ - A `STACKEXCHANGE_API_KEY` is optional but strongly recommended for any sustained use
187
+
188

+
235
+ ## Running the server
236
+
237
+ ### Local development
238
+
239
+ - **Build and run:**
240
+
241
+ ```sh
242
+ # One-time build
243
+ bun run rebuild
244
+
245
+ # Run the built server
246
+ bun run start:stdio
247
+ # or
248
+ bun run start:http
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ - **Run checks and tests:**
252
+
253
+ ```sh
254
+ bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security
255
+ bun run test # Vitest test suite
256
+ bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec
257
+ ```
258
+
259
+ ### Docker
260
+
261
+ ```sh
262
+ docker build -t stackexchange-mcp-server .
263
+ docker run --rm -e STACKEXCHANGE_API_KEY=your-key -p 3010:3010 stackexchange-mcp-server
264
+ ```
265
+
266
+ The Dockerfile defaults to HTTP transport, stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/stackexchange-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them.
267
+

270
+ ## Project structure
271
+
272
+ | Path | Purpose |
273
+ |:-----|:--------|
274
+ | `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools and inits services. |
275
+ | `src/config/` | Server-specific environment variable parsing with Zod (`STACKEXCHANGE_API_KEY`). |
276
+ | `src/mcp-server/tools/` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`). |
277
+ | `src/services/stackexchange/` | Stack Exchange API v2.3 HTTP client, backoff tracking, quota logging, HTML→markdown normalizer. |
278
+ | `tests/` | Vitest unit and integration tests. |
279

283
+ ## Development guide
284
+
285
+ See [`CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md`](./CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:
286
+
287
+ - Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic
288
+ - Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage
289
+ - Register new tools via the barrel in `src/mcp-server/tools/definitions/index.ts`
290
+ - Wrap external API calls: validate raw → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields

35
+ AUTHORING GUIDE — applies to the new per-version file you create from this
36
+ template.
37
+
38
+ Audience: someone scanning release notes to decide what affects them. Lead
39
+ each bullet with the symbol or concept name in **bold** so they can skip
40
+ what's irrelevant and zoom in on what's not.
41
+
42
+ Tone: terse, fact-dense, not verbose. Default to one sentence per bullet —
43
+ name the symbol, state what changed, stop. Use a second sentence only when
44
+ it carries weight. If a bullet feels long, it is.
45
+
46
+ Cut: mechanism walkthroughs (those belong in JSDoc, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, or the
47
+ relevant skill), ceremonial framings ("This release introduces…",
48
+ backwards-compat paragraphs), file-by-file test enumerations, internal
49
+ implementation notes. Prefer code/symbol names over English re-explanations.
50
+
51
+ Narrative intro: skip by default. Add one short sentence only when the
52
+ release theme genuinely needs framing the bullets can't carry.
53
+
54
+ Sections: Keep a Changelog order — Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed,
55
+ Fixed, Security. Include only sections with entries; delete the rest
56
+ (including the commented-out scaffolding below). Don't ship empty headers.
57
+
58
+ Include: every distinct fact a reader needs to adopt or audit the release —
59
+ new exports, signatures, lint rule IDs, env vars, breaking changes, version
60
+ bumps on shipped skills. Nothing more.
61
+
62
+ Links: link issues, PRs, docs, or skills where they help a reader jump to
63
+ context. Once per item per entry — don't re-link the same issue in summary,
64
+ narrative, and bullet. Skip links for inline symbol names; code spans speak
65
+ for themselves.
66
+
67
+ Issue/PR URLs: use full URLs. GitHub's bare `#NN` auto-link only resolves
68
+ inside its own UI, not in npm reads or local editors.
69
+
70
+ [#38](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/issues/38) ← issue
71
+ [#42](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/pull/42) ← PR
72
+
73
+ Verify numbers exist before linking (`gh issue view NN`, `gh pr view NN`).
74
+ Never speculate on a future number — `#42` for an upcoming PR silently
75
+ resolves to whatever real item already owns 42, and timeline previews pull
76
+ in that unrelated item's metadata.
77
+
78
+ TAG ANNOTATIONS — the annotated tag body renders as the GitHub Release body
79
+ via `gh release create --notes-from-tag`. The tag is a derivative of this
80
+ changelog entry — a condensed, scannable version, not a copy. Format:
81
+
82
+ <theme — omit version number, GitHub prepends it>
83
+ ← blank line
84
+ <1-2 sentence context: what this release does>
85
+ ← blank line
86
+ Dependency bumps: ← section header
87
+ ← blank line
88
+ - `@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core` ^0.9.1 → ^0.9.6 ← bullet
89
+ ← blank line
90
+ Changed: ← only sections with entries
91
+ ← blank line
92
+ - `format()` output includes `query` in text mode
93
+ ← blank line
94
+ Added:
95
+ ← blank line
96
+ - `manifest.json` scaffolded for MCPB bundle support
97
+ - Install badges (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
98
+ ← blank line
99
+ <N> tests pass; `bun run devcheck` clean. ← footer
100
+
101
+ Never a flat comma-separated string. Always structured markdown with
102
+ sections. The tag must scan well as a rendered GitHub Release page.
