serve

serve

Starts the MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio server, for AI clients such as Claude or Cursor to query a drag-lint index.

serve is DIFFERENT from lsp: lsp is the LSP stdio server that the IDE plugin itself starts, and nothing in the IDE uses serve. If you are wiring drag-lint into an AI assistant, this is the verb; if you are wiring it into the RAD Studio IDE, it is lsp instead.

Running it from the CLI

drag-lint serve --db <file.sqlite>

Reaching it in the IDE

No IDE surface -- this is a CLI-only feature.

What it needs

An index IS required. The project's DB lives at <project folder>\_D-RAG\<project file>.sqlite; run drag-lint resolve-dbs --project <X.dproj> if unsure.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint serve --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqlite

This would start the MCP stdio server over MyApp's index, for an AI client to connect to.
