Thales Maciel d0cf6d8f21 Add opinionated MCP modes for workspace workflows
Introduce explicit repro-fix, inspect, cold-start, and review-eval modes across the MCP server, CLI, and host helpers, with canonical mode-to-tool mappings, narrowed schemas, and mode-specific tool descriptions on top of the existing workspace runtime.

Reposition the docs, host onramps, and use-case recipes so named modes are the primary user-facing startup story while the generic no-mode workspace-core path remains the escape hatch, and update the shared smoke runner to validate repro-fix and cold-start through mode-backed servers.

MCP Client Config Example

Recommended named modes for most chat hosts in 4.x:

  • repro-fix
  • inspect
  • cold-start
  • review-eval

Use the host-specific examples first when they apply:

Preferred repair/bootstrap helpers:

  • pyro host connect codex --mode repro-fix
  • pyro host connect codex --mode inspect
  • pyro host connect claude-code --mode cold-start
  • pyro host connect claude-code --mode review-eval
  • pyro host print-config opencode --mode repro-fix
  • pyro host doctor --mode repro-fix
  • pyro host repair opencode --mode repro-fix

Use this generic config only when the host expects a plain mcpServers JSON shape or when the named modes are too narrow for the workflow.

pyro-mcp is intended to be exposed to LLM clients through the public pyro CLI.

Generic stdio MCP configuration using uvx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyro": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "pyro-mcp", "pyro", "mcp", "serve", "--mode", "repro-fix"]
    }
  }
}

If pyro-mcp is already installed locally, the same server can be configured with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyro": {
      "command": "pyro",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve", "--mode", "repro-fix"]
    }
  }
}

If the host does not preserve the server working directory and you want the first workspace_create to start from a specific checkout, add "--project-path", "/abs/path/to/repo" after "serve" in the same args list.

Mode progression:

  • repro-fix: patch, rerun, diff, export, reset
  • inspect: narrow offline-by-default inspection
  • cold-start: validation plus service readiness
  • review-eval: shell and snapshot-driven review
  • generic no-mode path: the fallback when the named mode is too narrow
  • workspace-full: explicit advanced opt-in for shells, services, snapshots, secrets, network policy, and disk tools

Primary mode for most agents:

  • repro-fix

Use lifecycle tools only when the agent needs persistent VM state across multiple tool calls.
