   ```bash
   uv venv
   uv pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```
3. Set environment variables:
   ```bash

## MCP Integration

### Claude Desktop Setup

1. **Configure Claude Desktop** (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "nomad-mcp": {
         "command": "/path/to/nomad_mcp/run_mcp_server.sh",
         "env": {
           "NOMAD_ADDR": "http://your-nomad-server:4646"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Restart Claude Desktop** to load the MCP server

### Available MCP Tools

The enhanced MCP integration provides these capabilities:

- **`list_nomad_jobs`** - List all jobs in a namespace
- **`get_job_status`** - Get detailed job status and health
- **`submit_job_file`** ⭐ - Submit Nomad job files (JSON/HCL)
- **`get_allocation_status`** ⭐ - Detailed allocation monitoring
- **`get_job_evaluations`** ⭐ - Placement failure analysis
- **`get_job_logs`** - Retrieve stdout/stderr logs
- **`force_evaluate_job`** ⭐ - Retry failed placements
- **`stop_job`** / **`restart_job`** - Job lifecycle management

### Example Usage in Claude

```
Please submit this Nomad job file:
[paste your job JSON/HCL here]

Then check the status and show me the logs if anything fails.
```

For complete setup instructions, see [MCP_INTEGRATION.md](MCP_INTEGRATION.md).

### Docker Deployment

You can also run the service using Docker:

```bash
# Build and run with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d

# Or build and run manually
docker build -t nomad-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env -v ./configs:/app/configs nomad-mcp
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Key environment variables to configure:

#### Nomad Configuration
- `NOMAD_ADDR` - URL of your Nomad server (e.g., `http://nomad.internal:4646`)
- `NOMAD_TOKEN` - ACL token for Nomad API authentication
- `NOMAD_NAMESPACE` - Default namespace for Nomad operations (e.g., `development`)
- `NOMAD_SKIP_VERIFY` - Set to `true` to skip SSL verification (for self-signed certs)

#### Gitea Configuration
- `GITEA_API_URL` - URL of your Gitea API (e.g., `http://gitea.internal/api/v1`)
- `GITEA_API_TOKEN` - Personal access token for Gitea API
- `GITEA_VERIFY_SSL` - Set to `false` to skip SSL verification for internal Gitea

#### MCP Configuration
- `BASE_URL` - Base URL where this service will be accessible (e.g., `http://localhost:8000`)

### Repository-Job Mappings

Job configurations are stored in YAML files in the `configs` directory. Each configuration maps a repository to a Nomad job.

Example configuration file (`configs/my-service.yaml`):

```yaml
repository: http://gitea.internal.example.com/username/repo-name
repository_alias: my-service
job_id: my-service
description: Example service managed by MCP
meta:
  owner: ai-team
  environment: development
```

## Web UI

The service includes a web-based user interface for managing Nomad jobs. The UI provides the following features:

- View all jobs across different namespaces
- Check job status and details
- View job logs (stdout and stderr)
- Restart and stop jobs
- Filter jobs by namespace

To access the UI, navigate to the root URL of the service (e.g., `http://localhost:8000`).

## AI Integration with Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Nomad MCP provides seamless integration with AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in two ways:

### 1. Zero-Config MCP Integration (New!)

The service now uses FastAPI MCP to automatically expose all API endpoints as MCP tools with zero configuration. This makes all endpoints immediately available to any AI assistant that supports the MCP protocol.

AI assistants can connect to the MCP endpoint at:
```
http://your-server:8000/mcp/sse
```

No manual tool definitions or configurations are needed - all API endpoints are automatically converted to MCP tools with proper schemas and documentation.

For detailed information on using the MCP integration, see the [MCP Integration Guide](MCP_INTEGRATION.md).

### 2. Claude-Specific API 

The service also includes a specialized API for Claude AI to interact with Nomad jobs using natural language. This allows Claude to:

1. List all jobs in a namespace
2. Get the status of specific jobs
3. Start, stop, and restart jobs
4. Create new jobs with simplified specifications
5. Retrieve job logs

#### Claude Tool Configuration

To configure Claude to use the Nomad MCP service, use the provided `claude_nomad_tool.json` configuration file. This file defines the API endpoints and parameters that Claude can use to interact with the service.

For detailed instructions on setting up Claude with the Nomad MCP service, see the [Claude API Integration Documentation](CLAUDE_API_INTEGRATION.md).

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Connection to Nomad fails**:
   - Verify that the `NOMAD_ADDR` environment variable is correct
   - Check that the Nomad server is accessible from the service
   - Ensure that the `NOMAD_TOKEN` has appropriate permissions

2. **Jobs fail to start**:
   - Check the job specification format
   - Verify that the namespace exists and is accessible
   - Look for resource constraints or policy violations

3. **UI doesn't load**:
   - Ensure that the service is running with the correct host and port
   - Check browser console for JavaScript errors
   - Verify that the static files are being served correctly

### Logs

The service logs provide detailed information about operations and errors. By default, logs are output to the console. You can adjust the log level using the `LOG_LEVEL` environment variable.

1. **Repository Management**:
   - `GET /api/repositories` - List available repositories
   - `GET /api/repositories/{repository}` - Get repository details

2. **Job Management**:
   - `GET /api/jobs/by-repository/{repository}` - Get job info by repository
   - `POST /api/jobs/by-repository/{repository}/start` - Start a job
   - `POST /api/jobs/by-repository/{repository}/stop` - Stop a job
   - `POST /api/jobs/by-repository/{repository}/restart` - Restart a job

3. **Logs**:
   - `GET /api/logs/repository/{repository}` - Get logs for a repository's job
   - `GET /api/logs/build/{job_id}` - Get build logs for a job

4. **Configuration**:
   - `POST /api/configs/link` - Link a repository to a job

5. **Claude-Specific API**:
   - `GET /api/claude/list-jobs` - List all jobs in a namespace
