Architecture

AI Agent ↔ MCP Protocol ↔ Vibe MCP Server ↔ vibe-cli

The MCP server provides:

• Clean JSON output without emojis or formatting
• Structured data optimized for AI consumption
• Direct integration with vibe-cli functionality
• Performance metrics and health monitoring

Configuration

Environment Variables

• VIBE_LOG_LEVEL: Logging level (0=ERROR, 1=WARN, 2=INFO, 3=DEBUG)

Debugging

Enable debug logging:

VIBE_LOG_LEVEL=3 npx -y @jinjos/vibe-mcp

Troubleshooting

Tool not found errors

npm run build  # Ensure server is built

MCP connection issues

# Enable debug logging
