About cobol-bridge-mcp

cobol-bridge-mcp is a specification for a read-only sidecar that analyzes COBOL source for teams assessing legacy migrations. It produces heuristic metrics and does not write to production systems; it is not a live product.

Key features

  1. 01Parse COBOL programs
  2. 02Identify business rules
  3. 03Estimate migration complexity
  4. 04Plan migration phases
  5. 05Generate test harnesses

Use cases

  1. 01Inventory existing COBOL source
  2. 02Make an initial migration effort estimate
  3. 03Plan migration in phases
  4. 04Create a migration test harness

MCP support

The specification describes an optional local MCP server configured over stdio, exposing read-only analysis tools to MCP clients.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "csoai-org-cobol-bridge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "cobol-bridge-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commanduvx cobol-bridge-mcp

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Details

From the project README

COBOL Bridge MCP — read-only sidecar (SPEC)

SPEC, not a live product. See SPEC.md.

  • Read-only sidecar. Never writes core / ledger / CICS.
  • cobolbridge.ai HTTP 522 sits. This README does not attach the domain.
  • No Starter / Pro / Enterprise pricing on this measurement surface.
  • Not certified. Not partnered. Not a second GSPC board.
  • Living board: GET https://councilof.ai/api/gspc (22 axis · 15 measured · 7 empty).

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
