NSAF (Neuro-Symbolic Autonomy Framework) MCP server

This MCP server for the Neuro-Symbolic Autonomy Framework (NSAF) allows AI assistants to interact with NSAF through the Model Context Protocol. It combines both the framework code and server implementation in a complete, deployable package.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ and npm
• Python 3.8+ with the NSAF framework installed

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ariunbolor/nsaf-mcp-server.git
   cd nsaf-mcp-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Build the server:

   npm run build
   

Using the Server

Running Locally

Start the server on your local machine:

npm start

Installing for Use with AI Assistants

Option 1: Install from GitHub

npm install -g yourusername/nsaf-mcp-server

Option 2: Install from local directory

Deployment

GitHub Deployment

1. Create a new GitHub repository named nsaf-mcp-server

2. Use the provided setup script:

   # For a new repository
   ./setup-github-fixed.sh yourusername
   
   # If the repository already exists and you want to overwrite its content
   ./setup-github-fixed.sh yourusername --force
   

This script handles git initialization, remote setup, committing, and pushing to GitHub.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "nsaf" '{"command":"nsaf-mcp-server","args":[],"env":[],"disabled":false,"autoApprove":[]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "nsaf": {
            "command": "nsaf-mcp-server",
            "args": [],
            "env": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "nsaf": {
            "command": "nsaf-mcp-server",
            "args": [],
            "env": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
