debot

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

Run debot setup to see the supported AI tools, or debot setup <tool> (e.g. debot setup opencode) to print ready-to-use MCP configuration and setup instructions for that tool.
