Class WorkshopServer

java.lang.Object

ai.tabforge.workshop.WorkshopServer

public class WorkshopServer
extends Object

Wires together all MCP tools and starts the server over STDIO transport.

Think of this class as a switchboard operator: it knows which tools exist, registers them all with the MCP framework, and then keeps the process alive so that Claude Desktop can call any tool at any time.

STDIO transport means that Claude Desktop launches this process as a child process and communicates via standard input/output streams — the same mechanism used by language servers (LSP). No network port is opened.

Created by: Main.main(String[]).

Method Details

start

public void start()

Registers all tools and starts the MCP server. Blocks indefinitely until the process is terminated.

Sequence:

1. Instantiate all tools, each backed by the shared OrchestratorAgent.
2. Build the MCP server with STDIO transport and the combined tool list.
3. Block the current thread via Thread.join() — the MCP framework handles incoming requests on its own threads.

Called from: Main.main(String[]).
