1.4.0
mcp-semclone v1.4.0
This release implements a universal compliance workflow and improves agent usability. Changes include breaking changes from the removal of project-type-specific tools, as well as enhancements from v1.3.6 and v1.3.7.
Breaking Changes
Removed generate_mobile_legal_summary (formerly generate_mobile_legal_notice)
Project-type-specific tools do not scale across different distribution types.
Migration paths:
- Use run_compliance_check for automated one-shot workflows
- Use generate_legal_notices for manual workflow orchestration
The generate_legal_notices tool was always the correct choice for complete legal documentation.
New Tool: run_compliance_check
Universal compliance workflow that works for any project type (mobile, desktop, SaaS, embedded, etc).
Capabilities:
- Automatic workflow: scan → generate NOTICE.txt → validate policy → generate sbom.json → check vulnerabilities
- Returns APPROVED/REJECTED decision with risk level
- Generates NOTICE.txt and sbom.json artifacts
- Provides a complete report with actionable recommendations
- Uses default policy if none specified
- Distribution type is a parameter, not a separate workflow
Usage:
result = run_compliance_check(path, distribution_type="mobile")
Enhanced Tool Descriptions
All primary tools now include structured guidance:
scan_directory:
- Positioned as FIRST STEP in workflows
- WHEN TO USE and WHEN NOT TO USE sections
- WORKFLOW POSITION guidance
- Three complete workflow examples
generate_legal_notices:
- Positioned as a PRIMARY TOOL for legal documentation
- Emphasizes purl2notices backend for copyright extraction
- WHEN TO USE and WHEN NOT TO USE sections
- Three workflow examples: mobile app compliance, package analysis, batch compliance
validate_license_list:
- Positioned for quick license validation
- Clear return values: safe_for_distribution, app_store_compatible
- Complete workflow example
Documentation Updates
- Updated IDE integration guides for Cursor, Cline, and Kiro
- Updated mobile app compliance guide
- Updated configuration examples and autoApprove lists
- Removed all references to deleted tools
- Added migration guidance
Architecture Changes
Design principles:
- No project-type-specific tools
- Distribution type used only for policy validation context
- Default policy provided
- Single standardized workflow
- Scales without code changes
Standard workflow options:
Option 1 (Recommended):
run_compliance_check(path, distribution_type) → APPROVED/REJECTED + artifacts
Option 2 (Manual):
scan_directory → generate_legal_notices → validate_license_list → generate_sbom
From v1.3.7 (2025-11-10)
License Approval/Rejection Workflow:
- Enhanced validate_policy tool with approve/deny/review decision support
- Added context parameter for static_linking and dynamic_linking scenarios
- Returns structured decision output with action, severity, requirements, and remediation
- Added summary object with boolean flags: approved, blocked, requires_review
- Distribution-specific policy rules (GPL blocked for mobile, AGPL blocked for SaaS)
- Updated OSPAC dependency to >=1.2.3
From v1.3.6 (2025-11-10)
Pipx Installation Support:
- Comprehensive pipx installation documentation
- Instructions for pipx inject to include all SEMCL.ONE tools
- Isolated environment prevents dependency conflicts
- All tools are accessible as both libraries and CLI commands
- Updated MCP configuration examples for pip and pipx
- Documentation for included tools: osslili, binarysniffer, src2purl, purl2notices, ospac, vulnq, upmex
Migration Example
Before v1.4.0
scan_result = scan_directory(path)
notice = generate_mobile_legal_summary(project_name, licenses)
After v1.4.0
result = run_compliance_check(path, distribution_type="mobile")
Automatically generates NOTICE.txt and sbom.json
Returns APPROVED/REJECTED decision
Alternative: manual workflow
scan_result = scan_directory(path, identify_packages=True)
purls = [pkg["purl"] for pkg in scan_result["packages"]]
generate_legal_notices(purls, output_file="NOTICE.txt")
