## When not to use pain001-mcp

- **You're not driving an MCP-aware agent.** Use the CLI
  (`pain001 …`) or the REST API (`pain001 serve`) directly — both expose
  the same surface with less indirection.
- **You need editor diagnostics, not agent tools.** Use
  [`pain001-lsp`](https://pypi.org/project/pain001-lsp/) — it speaks
  the Language Server Protocol to VS Code, Neovim, Helix, Emacs, etc.
- **You need to extend the tool surface in-tree.** The companion
  [`pain001[mcp]`](https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/pain001) extra
  exposes the same FastMCP instance and is easier to fork inside an
  organisation's pain001 install.

## Development

`pain001-mcp` uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) and
[mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/).

```bash
git clone https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/pain001-mcp.git
cd pain001-mcp
mise install
poetry install

A Makefile orchestrates the quality gates (kept in lockstep with CI):

Target	What it runs
`make check`	All gates (REQUIRED before commit)
`make test`	`pytest --cov=pain001_mcp --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100`
`make lint`	`ruff check` + `black --check`
`make type-check`	`mypy --strict`
`make docs`	`interrogate --fail-under=100` (docstring coverage)

Current state (v0.0.57): 71 tests passing, 100% line + branch coverage against a 100% enforced floor, mypy --strict clean, interrogate 100%.

Security

No filesystem writes from tools. generate_message and generate_message_from_file return the XML as a string; no tool writes to disk.
XML parsing of camt.053 and pain.002 is routed through defusedxml (via the core pain001 library); XXE and entity expansion are rejected.
Validation failures are returned as structured {"error": ...} payloads — never as stack traces — so the agent never sees an internal path leak.
Dependencies are pinned via poetry.lock and audited by pip-audit and Bandit in CI.

To report a vulnerability, please use GitHub private vulnerability reporting rather than a public issue.
