Standards Engine Architecture¶

The Standards Engine is the core component of the MCP Standards Server that manages the selection, validation, and application of development standards.

Overview¶

The Standards Engine provides intelligent standard selection based on project context, enabling automated compliance checking and improvement suggestions.

Key Components¶

1. Rule Engine¶

Pattern-based rule matching
Priority resolution for conflicting standards
Context-aware selection algorithms

2. Standards Storage¶

Hierarchical organization of standards
Metadata-driven categorization
Version management support

3. Validation Framework¶

Multi-language code analysis
Real-time compliance checking
Detailed violation reporting
