Debian Policy Manual MCP server for AI agents

debot is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Debian Policy Manual as MCP resources, with two tools:

  • search_policy — multi-word keyword search over the whole policy manual; a query need not match every word, but lines matching more of the query's words rank first, returned as file:line: text matches
  • upgrade_checklist — emits the policy upgrade checklist sections from a given standards version (the Standards-Version your package was last checked against) until the latest

The policy manual is embedded at build time from the git submodule in policy/, so the server needs no network access at runtime.

Configuration for opencode

To use debot as an MCP server with [opencode](https://github.com/opencode), add the following to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

```jsonc { "mcp": { "debot": { "type": "local", "enabled": true, "command": ["debot", "mcp"] } } } ```
