+# MCP Vala Library
+
+A comprehensive Vala implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) version "2025-11-25" using jsonrpc-gobject for STDIO communication.
+
+## Introduction
+
+The MCP Vala Library provides a complete implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Vala, enabling developers to create MCP servers with minimal boilerplate code. MCP is a protocol that allows language models to securely interact with external resources, tools, and prompts through a standardized JSON-RPC interface.
+
+This library offers a clean, type-safe, and asynchronous API that follows Vala's programming conventions while maintaining full compliance with the MCP specification.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Core MCP Protocol Support**: Full implementation of MCP v2025-11-25 specification
+- **JSON-RPC 2.0**: Standard-compliant implementation using jsonrpc-glib-1.0
+- **STDIO Transport**: Standard input/output communication with proper handling
+- **Type Safety**: Leverages Vala's type system while using Json-Glib for JSON handling
+- **Asynchronous Design**: Non-blocking operations throughout
+- **Extensible Architecture**: Clean interfaces for custom providers and executors
+- **Resource Management**: Built-in file system provider with extensible provider interface
+- **Tool Execution**: Simple tool registration and execution framework
+- **Prompt Handling**: Template-based prompt system with argument support
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error domain with proper JSON-RPC error codes
+- **IO Reliability**: Robust error handling and message parsing through jsonrpc-glib-1.0

+    );
+    
+    // Create capabilities
+    var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+    
+    // Create and start server
+    var server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+    
+    // Run the server (blocking)
+    server.run.begin ();
+    
+    // Keep the main loop running
+    var loop = new MainLoop ();
+    loop.run ();
+    
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+Compile and run:
+
+```bash
+valac --pkg mcp-vala --pkg json-glib-1.0 --pkg jsonrpc-glib-1.0 --pkg gio-unix-2.0 --pkg gee-0.8 minimal.vala -o minimal-server
+./minimal-server
+```
+
+## Main Features
+
+### Resources
+
+Resources represent data that can be read by clients, such as files, database entries, or API responses. The library provides:
+
+- Built-in file system resource provider
+- Extensible resource provider interface
+- Resource templates for dynamic resource creation
+- Subscription support for resource change notifications
+
+```vala
+// Register a file system provider
+var provider = new Mcp.Resources.Provider.FilesystemProvider ("/path/to/directory");
+server.resource_manager.register_provider (provider);
+```
+
+### Tools
+
+Tools are functions that clients can execute, such as running commands, performing calculations, or interacting with external services.
+
+```vala
+public class CalculatorTool : Object, Mcp.Tools.Executor {
+    public Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition get_definition () {
+        var input_schema = new Json.Object ();
+        input_schema.set_string_member ("type", "object");
+        
+        var properties = new Json.Object ();
+        
+        var expr_prop = new Json.Object ();
+        expr_prop.set_string_member ("type", "string");
+        expr_prop.set_string_member ("description", "Mathematical expression to evaluate");
+        properties.set_object_member ("expression", expr_prop);
+        
+        input_schema.set_object_member ("properties", properties);
+        input_schema.set_array_member ("required", new Json.Array ());
+        
+        return new Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition ("calculator", input_schema);
+    }
+    
+    public async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+        string expression = arguments.get_string_member ("expression");
+        
+        // Simple evaluation (in production, use a proper math parser)
+        string result = eval_expression (expression);
+        
+        var content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent (result);
+        var contents = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Types.Common.ContentBlock> ();
+        contents.add (content);
+        
+        var call_result = new Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult ();
+        call_result.content = contents;
+        
+        return call_result;
+    }
+}
+
+// Register the tool
+server.tool_manager.register_executor (new CalculatorTool ());
+```
+
+### Prompts
+
+Prompts are templates that can be filled with arguments to generate consistent messages for language models.
+
+```vala
+public class CodeReviewPrompt : Object, Mcp.Prompts.Template {
+    public Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptDefinition get_definition () {
+        var prompt = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptDefinition ("code_review");
+        prompt.description = "Generate a code review for the provided code";
+        
+        var code_arg = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptArgument ("code");
+        code_arg.description = "The code to review";
+        code_arg.required = true;
+        prompt.arguments.add (code_arg);
+        
+        var style_arg = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptArgument ("style");
+        style_arg.description = "Review style (strict, moderate, relaxed)";
+        prompt.arguments.add (style_arg);
+        
+        return prompt;
+    }
+    
+    public async Mcp.Prompts.Types.GetPromptResult render (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+        string code = arguments.get_string_member ("code");
+        string style = arguments.has_member ("style") ? arguments.get_string_member ("style") : "moderate";
+        
+        string prompt_text = @"Please review the following code using a $style style:\n\n$code\n\nProvide feedback on:\n1. Code quality\n2. Potential bugs\n3. Performance considerations\n4. Best practices";
+        
+        var content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent (prompt_text);
+        var message = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage ("user", content);
+        
+        var result = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.GetPromptResult ();
+        result.messages.add (message);
+        
+        return result;
+    }
+}
+
+// Register the prompt
+server.prompt_manager.register_template (new CodeReviewPrompt ());
+```

+## Building and Testing
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Configure the build
+meson setup builddir
+
+# Build the library
+meson compile -C builddir
+
+# Run tests (when available)
+meson test -C builddir
+

+The library includes several examples that demonstrate different aspects of the MCP protocol:
+
+```bash
+# Build all examples
+meson compile -C builddir examples
+
+# Run specific examples
+./builddir/examples/minimal-server
+./builddir/examples/filesystem-server
+./builddir/examples/calculator-server
+./builddir/examples/chat-server
+```
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Server Initialization
+
+```vala
+// Create server information
+var server_info = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo (
+    "my-server",
+    "1.0.0",
+    "Description of my MCP server"
+);
+
+// Configure capabilities
+var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+capabilities.logging = true;
+capabilities.resources = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ResourcesCapabilities ();
+capabilities.tools = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ToolsCapabilities ();
+capabilities.prompts = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.PromptsCapabilities ();
+
+// Create server
+var server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The library provides a comprehensive error domain with proper JSON-RPC error codes:
+
+```vala
+try {
+    var result = yield server.tool_manager.call_tool ("calculator", arguments);
+    // Handle result
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError e) {
+    // Handle MCP-specific errors
+    stderr.printf ("MCP Error: %s (code: %d)\n", e.message, e.code);
+} catch (Error e) {
+    // Handle other errors
+    stderr.printf ("Error: %s\n", e.message);
+}
+```
+
+### Asynchronous Operations
+
+All operations that involve I/O are asynchronous:
+
+```vala
+// List resources
+var resource_list = yield server.resource_manager.list_resources ();
+
+// Call a tool
+var tool_result = yield server.tool_manager.call_tool ("my_tool", arguments);
+
+// Get a prompt
+var prompt = yield server.prompt_manager.get_prompt ("my_prompt", arguments);
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+The implementation follows these key design principles:
+
+1. **Standard JSON-RPC Implementation**: Uses jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for standard-compliant JSON-RPC 2.0 communication
+2. **Interface-Based Design**: Extensible providers and executors with well-defined contracts
+3. **Type Safety**: Strong typing with Vala's type system
+4. **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error domain with proper JSON-RPC error codes
+5. **Asynchronous Operations**: Non-blocking I/O and async method signatures
+6. **Protocol Compliance**: Full MCP v2025-11-25 specification support
+7. **IO Reliability**: Robust STDIO transport and message handling through jsonrpc-glib-1.0

+# MCP Vala Library API Reference
+
+This document provides comprehensive API documentation for the MCP Vala library, covering all public classes, interfaces, and methods.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Core Namespace](#core-namespace)
+2. [Types Namespace](#types-namespace)
+3. [Resources Namespace](#resources-namespace)
+4. [Tools Namespace](#tools-namespace)
+5. [Prompts Namespace](#prompts-namespace)
+6. [Common Namespace](#common-namespace)
+
+## Core Namespace
+
+### Mcp.Core.Server
+
+The main server class that orchestrates all MCP functionality.
+
+#### Constructor
+
+```vala
+public Server (
+    Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo server_info,
+    Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities capabilities
+)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `server_info`: Information about the server (name, version, description)
+- `capabilities`: Server capabilities (resources, tools, prompts, logging)
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public Mcp.Resources.Manager resource_manager { get; }
+public Mcp.Tools.Manager tool_manager { get; }
+public Mcp.Prompts.Manager prompt_manager { get; }
+public bool is_running { get; }
+public bool is_initialized { get; }
+```
+
+#### Signals
+
+```vala
+public signal void initialized ();
+public signal void shutdown ();
+```
+
+#### Methods
+
+```vala
+public async bool start () throws Error
+public async void stop ()
+public void send_notification (string method, Variant? params = null)
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+```vala
+// Create server
+var server_info = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo (
+    "my-server",
+    "1.0.0",
+    "My MCP server"
+);
+
+var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+capabilities.logging = true;
+capabilities.tools = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ToolsCapabilities ();
+
+var server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+
+// Start server
+bool started = yield server.start ();
+if (started) {
+    print ("Server started successfully\n");
+}
+```
+
+### Jsonrpc Integration
+
+The library now uses Jsonrpc.Server from jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for handling JSON-RPC communication. The custom MessageHandler and StdioTransport classes have been removed in favor of the standard implementation.
+
+#### Key Benefits
+
+- Standard-compliant JSON-RPC 2.0 implementation
+- Robust error handling with Jsonrpc.Error
+- Built-in support for async/await patterns
+- Proper STDIO transport handling
+- Automatic message parsing and formatting
+
+### Mcp.Core.McpError
+
+Error domain for MCP-specific errors.
+
+#### Error Codes
+
+```vala
+public static const int PARSE_ERROR = -32700;
+public static const int INVALID_REQUEST = -32600;
+public static const int METHOD_NOT_FOUND = -32601;
+public static const int INVALID_PARAMS = -32602;
+public static const int INTERNAL_ERROR = -32603;
+public static const int RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND = -32604;
+public static const int TRANSPORT_ERROR = -32605;
+```
+
+## Types Namespace
+
+### Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo
+
+Information about the MCP server.
+
+#### Constructor
+
+```vala
+public ServerInfo (
+    string name,
+    string version,
+    string? description = null
+)
+```
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public string name { get; set; }
+public string version { get; set; }
+public string? description { get; set; }
+```
+
+### Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities
+
+Server capabilities configuration.
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public bool logging { get; set; }
+public Mcp.Types.Protocol.ResourcesCapabilities? resources { get; set; }
+public Mcp.Types.Protocol.ToolsCapabilities? tools { get; set; }
+public Mcp.Types.Protocol.PromptsCapabilities? prompts { get; set; }
+```
+
+### Mcp.Types.Protocol.ResourcesCapabilities
+
+Resource-related capabilities.
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public bool subscribe { get; set; }
+public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+```
+
+### Mcp.Types.Protocol.ToolsCapabilities
+
+Tool-related capabilities.
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+```
+
+### Mcp.Types.Protocol.PromptsCapabilities
+
+Prompt-related capabilities.
+
+#### Properties
+
+```vala
+public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+```
+
+### Jsonrpc Integration
+
+The library now uses Jsonrpc.Server from jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for handling JSON-RPC communication. Custom JSON-RPC message types have been removed in favor of the standard implementation.
+
+#### Communication Pattern
+
+The library internally converts between Json.Node (used for MCP protocol types) and GLib.Variant (used by Jsonrpc.Server) for seamless integration.
+
+#### Error Handling
+
+Errors are now handled using Jsonrpc.Error for proper JSON-RPC 2.0 error responses.

+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Server Initialization Pattern
+
+```vala
+public class MyMcpServer : GLib.Object {
+    private Mcp.Core.Server server;
+    
+    public MyMcpServer () {
+        // 1. Create server info
+        var server_info = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo (
+            "my-server",
+            "1.0.0",
+            "Description of my server"
+        );
+        
+        // 2. Configure capabilities
+        var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+        capabilities.logging = true;
+        
+        // 3. Create server
+        server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+        
+        // 4. Set up components
+        setup_components ();
+    }
+    
+    private void setup_components () {
+        // Register resources, tools, and prompts
+    }
+    
+    public async int run () {
+        // Start server and run main loop
+        yield server.start ();
+        new MainLoop ().run ();
+        return 0;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Resource Provider Pattern
+
+```vala
+public class MyResourceProvider : Mcp.Resources.BaseProvider {
+    private HashTable<string, string> storage;
+    
+    public MyResourceProvider () {
+        storage = new HashTable<string, string> (str_hash, str_equal);
+        initialize_data ();
+    }
+    
+    public override async Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> list_resources (string? cursor) throws Error {
+        var resources = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> ();
+        
+        foreach (var entry in storage.get_keys ()) {
+            var resource = new Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource (entry, entry);
+            resource.mime_type = guess_mime_type (entry);
+            resources.add (resource);
+        }
+        
+        return resources;
+    }
+    
+    public override async Mcp.Types.Common.ResourceContents read_resource (string uri) throws Error {
+        if (!storage.contains (uri)) {
+            throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND ("Resource not found");
+        }
+        
+        return new Mcp.Types.Common.TextResourceContents (uri, storage[uri]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Tool Executor Pattern
+
+```vala
+public class MyTool : Mcp.Tools.BaseExecutor {
+    public MyTool () {
+        // Define input schema
+        var input_schema = new Json.Object ();
+        input_schema.set_string_member ("type", "object");
+        
+        var properties = new Json.Object ();
+        var param = new Json.Object ();
+        param.set_string_member ("type", "string");
+        param.set_string_member ("description", "Parameter description");
+        properties.set_object_member ("param", param);
+        
+        input_schema.set_object_member ("properties", properties);
+        
+        var required = new Json.Array ();
+        required.add_string_element ("param");
+        input_schema.set_array_member ("required", required);
+        
+        var definition = new Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition ("my_tool", input_schema);
+        definition.description = "Description of my tool";
+        
+        base (definition);
+    }
+    
+    protected override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+        string param = get_string_arg (arguments, "param");
+        
+        // Process input
+        string result = process_parameter (param);
+        
+        return create_text_result ("Result: %s".printf (result));
+    }
+    
+    private string process_parameter (string input) {
+        // Custom processing logic
+        return input.up ();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Prompt Template Pattern
+
+```vala
+public class MyPrompt : Mcp.Prompts.BaseTemplate {
+    public MyPrompt () {
+        base ("my_prompt", "My Prompt", "Description of my prompt");
+        
+        // Add arguments
+        add_argument ("topic", "Topic", "The topic to generate content for", true);
+        add_argument ("style", "Style", "Writing style", false, "neutral");
+    }
+    
+    protected override Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> generate_messages (Json.Object arguments) {
+        var messages = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> ();
+        
+        string topic = get_string_arg (arguments, "topic");
+        string style = get_string_arg (arguments, "style", "neutral");
+        
+        string template = """Generate {{style}} content about {{topic}}.""";
+        
+        messages.add (create_user_message (template, arguments));
+        return messages;
+    }
+    
+    private string? get_string_arg (Json.Object arguments, string name, string? default_value = null) {
+        if (arguments.has_member (name)) {
+            return arguments.get_string_member (name);
+        }
+        return default_value;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## JSON-RPC Protocol Implementation
+
+The library implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification for MCP:
+
+### Request Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "unique-request-id",
+  "method": "tools/list",
+  "params": {}
+}
+```
+
+### Response Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "unique-request-id",
+  "result": {
+    "tools": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Response Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "unique-request-id",
+  "error": {
+    "code": -32602,
+    "message": "Invalid params",
+    "data": null
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Notification Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "method": "notifications/resources/list_changed",
+  "params": {}
+}
+```
+
+## Type System
+
+The library uses Vala's type system for compile-time safety:
+
+### Primitives
+
+- `string` - Text data
+- `int`/`int64` - Integer values
+- `double` - Floating-point values
+- `bool` - Boolean values
+
+### Collections
+
+- `Gee.ArrayList<T>` - Dynamic arrays
+- `HashTable<K,V>` - Key-value maps
+- `Json.Object` - JSON objects
+- `Json.Array` - JSON arrays
+- `Json.Node` - Generic JSON value
+
+### Null Safety
+
+Optional types use `?` suffix:
+```vala
+public string? description { get; set; }  // Can be null
+public string name { get; set; }           // Cannot be null
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Hierarchy
+
+```
+Mcp.Core.McpError
+├── PARSE_ERROR (-32700)
+├── INVALID_REQUEST (-32600)
+├── METHOD_NOT_FOUND (-32601)
+├── INVALID_PARAMS (-32602)
+├── INTERNAL_ERROR (-32603)
+├── RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND (-32604)
+└── TRANSPORT_ERROR (-32605)
+```
+
+### Error Handling Pattern
+
+```vala
+try {
+    // MCP operation
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError e) {
+    // Handle MCP-specific errors
+    stderr.printf ("MCP Error [%d]: %s\n", e.code, e.message);
+} catch (GLib.Error e) {
+    // Handle other errors
+    stderr.printf ("GLib Error: %s\n", e.message);
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always validate input** before processing
+2. **Use structured results** for complex data
+3. **Handle errors gracefully** and provide meaningful messages
+4. **Follow async patterns** for I/O operations
+5. **Document custom components** with Valadoc comments
+6. **Use appropriate MIME types** for resources
+7. **Implement subscription notifications** for dynamic content
+8. **Test with real MCP clients** to verify compatibility
+
+## Version Compatibility
+
+The library follows MCP specification version "2025-11-25" and maintains backward compatibility where possible. Future versions will be additive and non-breaking.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Custom JSON-RPC to Jsonrpc
+
+If you were using custom JSON-RPC handling in previous versions:
+
+1. **No API changes required** - The public API remains the same
+2. **Internal improvements** - Better error handling and IO reliability
+3. **Performance benefits** - Optimized JSON parsing and message handling
+4. **Standard compliance** - Full JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance through jsonrpc-glib-1.0
+
+The migration is transparent for existing code using the library's public API.

+
+### Basic Server Setup
+
+```vala
+using Mcp;
+
+public class MyServer : GLib.Object {
+    private Mcp.Core.Server server;
+    
+    public MyServer () {
+        // Create server information
+        var server_info = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerInfo (
+            "my-server",
+            "1.0.0",
+            "My custom MCP server"
+        );
+        
+        // Create capabilities
+        var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+        capabilities.logging = true;
+        
+        // Create server
+        server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+    }
+    
+    public async int run () {
+        // Start the server
+        bool started = yield server.start ();
+        if (!started) {
+            stderr.printf ("Failed to start server\n");
+            return 1;
+        }
+        
+        // Run main loop
+        var main_loop = new MainLoop ();
+        main_loop.run ();
+        
+        return 0;
+    }
+}
+
+int main (string[] args) {
+    var server = new MyServer ();
+    return server.run ();
+}
+```
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Resources
+
+Resources represent data that can be read by clients:
+
+```vala
+// Resource definition
+var resource = new Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource (
+    "file:///path/to/file.txt",
+    "My File"
+);
+resource.description = "A sample text file";
+resource.mime_type = "text/plain";
+
+// Resource contents
+var contents = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextResourceContents (
+    resource.uri,
+    "Hello, World!"
+);
+```
+
+### Tools
+
+Tools are functions that clients can execute:
+
+```vala
+// Tool definition
+var input_schema = new Json.Object ();
+input_schema.set_string_member ("type", "object");
+
+var definition = new Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition (
+    "my_tool",
+    input_schema
+);
+
+// Tool execution result
+var result = new Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult ();
+var content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent ("Operation completed");
+result.content.add (content);
+```
+
+### Prompts
+
+Prompts are templates for generating consistent messages:
+
+```vala
+// Prompt definition
+var prompt = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptDefinition ("my_prompt");
+prompt.description = "A custom prompt template";
+
+// Prompt result
+var result = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.GetPromptResult ();
+var message = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage (
+    "user",
+    new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent ("Generated prompt text")
+);
+result.messages.add (message);
+```
+
+## Implementing Resources
+
+### Creating a Resource Provider
+
+Implement the `Mcp.Resources.Provider` interface or extend `Mcp.Resources.BaseProvider`:
+
+```vala
+public class MyResourceProvider : Mcp.Resources.BaseProvider {
+    private HashTable<string, string> data_store;
+    
+    public MyResourceProvider () {
+        data_store = new HashTable<string, string> (str_hash, str_equal);
+        // Initialize with some data
+        data_store.insert ("my://item1", "Content of item 1");
+        data_store.insert ("my://item2", "Content of item 2");
+    }
+    
+    public override async Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> list_resources (string? cursor) throws Error {
+        var resources = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> ();
+        
+        foreach (var uri in data_store.get_keys ()) {
+            var resource = new Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource (uri, uri);
+            resource.mime_type = "text/plain";
+            resource.size = data_store[uri].length;
+            resources.add (resource);
+        }
+        
+        return resources;
+    }
+    
+    public override async Mcp.Types.Common.ResourceContents read_resource (string uri) throws Error {
+        if (!data_store.contains (uri)) {
+            throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND ("Resource not found: %s".printf (uri));
+        }
+        
+        return new Mcp.Types.Common.TextResourceContents (uri, data_store[uri]);
+    }
+}
+
+// Register with server
+server.resource_manager.register_provider ("my_provider", new MyResourceProvider ());
+```
+
+### Resource Subscription Support
+
+Enable clients to receive updates when resources change:
+
+```vala
+public override async void subscribe (string uri) throws Error {
+    // Track subscription
+    yield base.subscribe (uri);
+    
+    // Emit update when data changes
+    notify_resource_updated (uri);
+}
+```
+
+## Implementing Tools
+
+### Creating a Tool Executor
+
+Implement the `Mcp.Tools.Executor` interface or extend `Mcp.Tools.BaseExecutor`:
+
+```vala
+public class MyTool : Mcp.Tools.BaseExecutor {
+    public MyTool () {
+        // Define input schema
+        var input_schema = new Json.Object ();
+        input_schema.set_string_member ("type", "object");
+        
+        var properties = new Json.Object ();
+        var text_prop = new Json.Object ();
+        text_prop.set_string_member ("type", "string");
+        text_prop.set_string_member ("description", "Text to process");
+        properties.set_object_member ("text", text_prop);
+        
+        input_schema.set_object_member ("properties", properties);
+        
+        var required = new Json.Array ();
+        required.add_string_element ("text");
+        input_schema.set_array_member ("required", required);
+        
+        var definition = new Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition ("my_tool", input_schema);
+        definition.description = "Processes text input";
+        
+        base (definition);
+    }
+    
+    protected override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+        string text = get_string_arg (arguments, "text");
+        
+        // Process the text
+        string processed = text.up ();
+        
+        return create_text_result ("Processed: %s".printf (processed));
+    }
+}
+
+// Register with server
+server.tool_manager.register_executor ("my_tool", new MyTool ());
+```
+
+### Advanced Tool Features
+
+#### Structured Results
+
+Return structured data with your results:
+
+```vala
+var structured_data = new Json.Object ();
+structured_data.set_string_member ("original", text);
+structured_data.set_string_member ("processed", processed);
+structured_data.set_int_member ("length", processed.length);
+
+return create_structured_result ("Text processed successfully", structured_data);
+```
+
+#### Error Handling
+
+Handle errors gracefully:
+
+```vala
+protected override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+    try {
+        // Validate input
+        string text = get_string_arg (arguments, "text");
+        if (text.length == 0) {
+            throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS ("Text cannot be empty");
+        }
+        
+        // Process
+        string result = process_text (text);
+        return create_text_result (result);
+        
+    } catch (Error e) {
+        // Return error result
+        return create_error_result (e);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementing Prompts
+
+### Creating a Prompt Template
+
+Implement the `Mcp.Prompts.Template` interface or extend `Mcp.Prompts.BaseTemplate`:
+
+```vala
+public class MyPrompt : Mcp.Prompts.BaseTemplate {
+    public MyPrompt () {
+        base ("my_prompt", "My Prompt", "A custom prompt template");
+        
+        // Add arguments
+        add_argument ("topic", "Topic", "The topic to generate content for", true);
+        add_argument ("style", "Style", "Writing style (formal, casual, creative)", false);
+        add_argument ("length", "Length", "Desired length (short, medium, long)", false);
+    }
+    
+    protected override Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> generate_messages (Json.Object arguments) {
+        var messages = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> ();
+        
+        string topic = get_string_arg (arguments, "topic");
+        string? style = get_string_arg (arguments, "style", "neutral");
+        string? length = get_string_arg (arguments, "length", "medium");
+        
+        string template = """Generate {{style}} content about {{topic}}.
+Target length: {{length}}.
+
+Please provide:
+1. Introduction to the topic
+2. Key points about {{topic}}
+3. Analysis or insights
+4. Conclusion or summary""";
+        
+        messages.add (create_user_message (template, arguments));
+        return messages;
+    }
+    
+    private string? get_string_arg (Json.Object arguments, string name, string? default_value = null) {
+        if (arguments.has_member (name)) {
+            return arguments.get_string_member (name);
+        }
+        return default_value;
+    }
+}
+
+// Register with server
+server.prompt_manager.register_template ("my_prompt", new MyPrompt ());
+```
+
+### Advanced Prompt Features
+
+#### Conditional Content
+
+Use conditional blocks in templates:
+
+```vala
+string template = """Generate content about {{topic}}.
+
+{{#formal}}
+Write in a formal, professional tone suitable for business communication.
+{{/formal}}
+
+{{#casual}}
+Write in a relaxed, conversational tone suitable for informal settings.
+{{/casual}}
+
+{{#creative}}
+Use creative language and imaginative expressions.
+{{/creative}}""";
+```
+
+#### Multi-Message Prompts
+
+Create conversations with multiple messages:
+
+```vala
+protected override Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> generate_messages (Json.Object arguments) {
+    var messages = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> ();
+    
+    // System message
+    var system_content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent (
+        "You are a helpful assistant specializing in {{topic}}."
+    );
+    var system_msg = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage ("system", system_content);
+    messages.add (system_msg);
+    
+    // User message
+    var user_content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent (
+        "Tell me about {{topic}}."
+    );
+    var user_msg = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage ("user", user_content);
+    messages.add (user_msg);
+    
+    return messages;
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Server Initialization
+
+1. **Set up capabilities properly**:
+   ```vala
+   var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+   capabilities.logging = true;  // Always enable logging
+   ```
+
+2. **Handle initialization errors**:
+   ```vala
+   try {
+       server = new Mcp.Core.Server (server_info, capabilities);
+   } catch (Error e) {
+       stderr.printf ("Failed to create server: %s\n", e.message);
+       return;
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Register components before starting**:
+   ```vala
+   // Register all providers, executors, and templates
+   setup_resources ();
+   setup_tools ();
+   setup_prompts ();
+   
+   // Then start the server
+   yield server.start ();
+   ```
+
+### Resource Management
+
+1. **Use appropriate MIME types**:
+   ```vala
+   resource.mime_type = "text/plain";           // Text files
+   resource.mime_type = "application/json";      // JSON data
+   resource.mime_type = "image/png";           // Images
+   ```
+
+2. **Handle large resources efficiently**:
+   ```vala
+   public override async Mcp.Types.Common.ResourceContents read_resource (string uri) throws Error {
+       // Check size before loading
+       var metadata = get_resource_metadata (uri);
+       if (metadata != null && metadata.size > 1024 * 1024) {  // 1MB
+           // Consider streaming for large files
+           return yield read_large_resource_streaming (uri);
+       }
+       
+       // Normal loading for smaller files
+       return yield read_resource_normal (uri);
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Implement subscription notifications**:
+   ```vala
+   // When data changes
+   data_store.insert (uri, new_content);
+   
+   // Notify all subscribers
+   notify_resource_updated (uri);
+   
+   // Trigger list change notification
+   list_changed ();
+   ```
+
+### Tool Implementation
+
+1. **Validate all inputs**:
+   ```vala
+   protected override void validate_arguments (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+       // Call base validation
+       base.validate_arguments (arguments);
+       
+       // Add custom validation
+       if (arguments.has_member ("custom_param")) {
+           string value = arguments.get_string_member ("custom_param");
+           if (!is_valid_custom_param (value)) {
+               throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS ("Invalid custom_param");
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Use structured results**:
+   ```vala
+   var structured_data = new Json.Object ();
+   structured_data.set_string_member ("status", "success");
+   structured_data.set_object_member ("result", result_object);
+   structured_data.set_double_member ("duration_ms", elapsed_ms);
+   
+   return create_structured_result ("Operation completed", structured_data);
+   ```
+
+3. **Handle long-running operations**:
+   ```vala
+   protected override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+       // Start progress notification
+       var progress = new Json.Object ();
+       progress.set_string_member ("status", "processing");
+       send_progress_notification (progress);
+       
+       // Perform long operation
+       var result = yield perform_long_operation (arguments);
+       
+       // Final progress
+       progress.set_string_member ("status", "completed");
+       send_progress_notification (progress);
+       
+       return result;
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Prompt Design
+
+1. **Keep templates focused**:
+   ```vala
+   // Good: Specific and clear
+   add_argument ("topic", "Topic", "The specific topic to address", true);
+   
+   // Avoid: Vague arguments
+   // add_argument ("info", "Information", "Some information", true);  // Too generic
+   ```
+
+2. **Use descriptive names**:
+   ```vala
+   // Good: Clear purpose
+   add_argument ("target_audience", "Target Audience", "Who the content is for", false);
+   
+   // Avoid: Generic names
+   // add_argument ("param1", "Parameter 1", "First parameter", true);
+   ```
+
+3. **Provide reasonable defaults**:
+   ```vala
+   add_argument ("style", "Style", "Writing style", false, "neutral");
+   add_argument ("length", "Length", "Content length", false, "medium");
+   ```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Types
+
+The library provides these error types:
+
+```vala
+try {
+    // Your code
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS e) {
+    // Invalid method parameters
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.METHOD_NOT_FOUND e) {
+    // Method doesn't exist
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND e) {
+    // Resource doesn't exist
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.INTERNAL_ERROR e) {
+    // Internal server error
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.TRANSPORT_ERROR e) {
+    // Communication error
+} catch (Mcp.Core.McpError.PARSE_ERROR e) {
+    // JSON parsing error
+}
+```
+
+### Best Practices for Error Handling
+
+1. **Be specific in error messages**:
+   ```vala
+   // Good
+   throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS (
+       "Temperature must be between -273.15 and 1000 Kelvin"
+   );
+   
+   // Bad
+   throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS ("Invalid temperature");
+   ```
+
+2. **Include context in errors**:
+   ```vala
+   throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND (
+       "File not found: %s (working directory: %s)".printf (path, working_dir)
+   );
+   ```
+
+3. **Use appropriate error codes**:
+   ```vala
+   // Client error (bad request)
+   throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INVALID_PARAMS ("...");
+   
+   // Server error (something went wrong)
+   throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INTERNAL_ERROR ("...");
+   ```
+
+## Testing and Debugging
+
+### Unit Testing
+
+Test your components individually:
+
+```vala
+void test_tool_execution () {
+    var tool = new MyTool ();
+    var arguments = new Json.Object ();
+    arguments.set_string_member ("text", "test");
+    
+    // Test synchronous execution
+    tool.execute.begin (arguments, (obj, res) => {
+        assert (res.is_error == false);
+        var content = res.content[0] as Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent;
+        assert (content.text.contains ("Processed:"));
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+
+Test the full server:
+
+```vala
+// Test with mock client
+void test_server_integration () {
+    var server = new MyServer ();
+    server.start.begin ();
+    
+    // Send JSON-RPC messages
+    var request = create_json_rpc_request ("tools/list", {});
+    var response = server.handle_request (request);
+    
+    // Verify response
+    assert (response != null);
+}
+```
+
+### Debugging Tips
+
+1. **Enable logging**:
+   ```vala
+   var capabilities = new Mcp.Types.Protocol.ServerCapabilities ();
+   capabilities.logging = true;  // Always enable for debugging
+   ```
+
+2. **Use print statements**:
+   ```vala
+   public override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+       print ("Executing tool with arguments: %s\n", arguments.to_string (null));
+       
+       var result = yield perform_operation (arguments);
+       
+       print ("Tool execution completed: %s\n", result.is_error ? "ERROR" : "SUCCESS");
+       return result;
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Test with real MCP clients**:
+   - Use Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible clients
+   - Test all your tools, resources, and prompts
+   - Verify JSON-RPC message flow
+
+## Extending the Library
+
+### Jsonrpc Integration
+
+The library now uses Jsonrpc.Server from jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for JSON-RPC communication. Custom transport implementations are typically not needed as the standard implementation handles:
+
+- STDIO communication
+- JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol compliance
+- Error handling and response formatting
+- Async method dispatch
+
+### Custom Managers
+
+Create specialized managers for your domain:
+
+### Custom Managers
+
+Create specialized managers for your domain:
+
+```vala
+public class DatabaseResourceManager : Mcp.Resources.Manager {
+    private DatabaseConnection db;
+    
+    public DatabaseResourceManager (DatabaseConnection db) {
+        this.db = db;
+    }
+    
+    public override async Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> list_resources (string? cursor) throws Error {
+        var resources = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource> ();
+        
+        // Query database
+        var results = db.query_resources (cursor);
+        foreach (var row in results) {
+            var resource = new Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource (row["uri"], row["name"]);
+            resources.add (resource);
+        }
+        
+        return resources;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Server Won't Start
+
+**Problem**: Server fails to start
+**Causes**:
+- Missing dependencies
+- Port already in use
+- Invalid server configuration
+
+**Solutions**:
+```bash
+# Check dependencies
+valac --pkg mcp-vala --pkg json-glib-1.0 --pkg jsonrpc-glib-1.0 --pkg gio-unix-2.0 --pkg gee-0.8 your-server.vala
+
+# Check with strace
+strace -e trace=network your-server
+
+# Use debug build
+meson configure -Ddebug=true
+```
+
+#### Resources Not Appearing
+
+**Problem**: Registered resources don't show up in client
+**Causes**:
+- Provider not registered correctly
+- list_resources() method throwing errors
+- URI scheme issues
+
+**Solutions**:
+```vala
+// Check registration
+try {
+    server.resource_manager.register_provider ("my_provider", provider);
+    print ("Provider registered successfully\n");
+} catch (Error e) {
+    stderr.printf ("Failed to register provider: %s\n", e.message);
+}
+
+// Check URIs
+var resource = new Mcp.Resources.Types.Resource ("file:///valid/path", "Name");
+// NOT: "invalid-uri" (missing scheme)
+// NOT: "file://invalid path" (missing encoding)
+```
+
+#### Tool Execution Fails
+
+**Problem**: Tools return errors or don't execute
+**Causes**:
+- Invalid JSON schemas
+- Missing required arguments
+- Async method not yielding
+
+**Solutions**:
+```vala
+// Validate schema
+public Mcp.Tools.Types.ToolDefinition get_definition () throws Error {
+    if (definition.input_schema == null) {
+        throw new Mcp.Core.McpError.INTERNAL_ERROR ("Input schema not initialized");
+    }
+    return definition;
+}
+
+// Check async execution
+protected override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+    // Always yield, even for sync operations
+    var result = process_sync (arguments);
+    return result;  // Missing yield!
+}
+```
+
+#### Prompt Generation Issues
+
+**Problem**: Prompts don't generate correctly
+**Causes**:
+- Template syntax errors
+- Missing argument substitutions
+- Invalid message structures
+
+**Solutions**:
+```vala
+// Debug template
+protected override Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> generate_messages (Json.Object arguments) {
+    print ("Generating prompt with arguments: %s\n", arguments.to_string (null));
+    
+    var messages = new Gee.ArrayList<Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage> ();
+    
+    // Debug template substitution
+    string template = get_template ();
+    string result = substitute_variables (template, arguments);
+    print ("Template result: %s\n", result);
+    
+    var content = new Mcp.Types.Common.TextContent (result);
+    var message = new Mcp.Prompts.Types.PromptMessage ("user", content);
+    messages.add (message);
+    
+    return messages;
+}
+```
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+#### Memory Usage
+
+**Problem**: High memory consumption
+**Solutions**:
+- Stream large resources instead of loading entirely
+- Use weak references for cached data
+- Clear caches when not needed
+
+```vala
+// Good: Streaming
+public override async Mcp.Types.Common.BlobResourceContents read_resource (string uri) throws Error {
+    var stream = yield open_resource_stream (uri);
+    var buffer = new uint8[4096];  // Small, fixed buffer
+    
+    // Process in chunks
+    do {
+        size_t bytes_read = yield stream.read_async (buffer);
+        if (bytes_read == 0) break;
+        
+        // Process chunk
+        yield process_chunk (buffer[0:bytes_read]);
+    } while (true);
+}
+
+// Bad: Loading everything
+public override async Mcp.Types.Common.BlobResourceContents read_resource (string uri) throws Error {
+    var file = File.new_for_uri (uri);
+    uint8[] contents;
+    yield file.load_contents_async (null, out contents);
+    
+    // Loads entire file into memory
+    return new Mcp.Types.Common.BlobResourceContents (uri, contents);
+}
+```
+
+#### Concurrency
+
+**Problem**: Blocking operations affect performance
+**Solutions**:
+- Use async methods properly
+- Implement cancellation support
+- Use thread pools for CPU-intensive work
+
+```vala
+// Good: Non-blocking
+public override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+    // Yield to allow other operations
+    var result = yield perform_long_operation (arguments);
+    return result;
+}
+
+// Bad: Blocking
+public override async Mcp.Tools.Types.CallToolResult do_execute (Json.Object arguments) throws Error {
+    // This blocks the entire server!
+    var result = perform_blocking_operation (arguments);
+    return result;
+}
+```
+

+# Vala MCP Library Architecture Design
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the architecture for a Vala library implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) version "2025-11-25" using jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for JSON-RPC communication. The design prioritizes developer experience while maintaining protocol compliance and performance.
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### High-Level Design

+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│              Jsonrpc.Server Implementation               │

+│              jsonrpc-glib-1.0 + Json-Glib               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Developer Experience First**: Simple, intuitive API with minimal boilerplate
+2. **Type Safety**: Leverage Vala's type system while using Json-Glib for JSON handling
+3. **Asynchronous Design**: Non-blocking operations throughout
+4. **Extensibility**: Clean interfaces for custom implementations
+5. **Protocol Compliance**: Full MCP v2025-11-25 specification support

+```
+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. Server Infrastructure
+
+#### Mcp.Core.Server
+
+```vala
+namespace Mcp.Core {
+    public class Server : Object {
+        // Server configuration
+        public ServerInfo server_info { get; construct; }
+        public ServerCapabilities capabilities { get; construct; }
+        
+        // Core managers
+        public ResourceManager resource_manager { get; construct; }
+        public ToolManager tool_manager { get; construct; }
+        public PromptManager prompt_manager { get; construct; }
+        
+        // Jsonrpc server instance
+        private Jsonrpc.Server jsonrpc_server;
+        
+        // Lifecycle
+        public signal void initialized ();
+        public signal void shutdown ();
+        
+        public async bool start () throws Error;
+        public async void stop ();
+        
+        // Jsonrpc method handlers
+        private Variant handle_initialize (Jsonrpc.Client client, string method, Variant params) throws Error;
+        private Variant handle_ping (Jsonrpc.Client client, string method, Variant params) throws Error;
+        private Variant handle_resources_list (Jsonrpc.Client client, string method, Variant params) throws Error;
+        // ... other handlers
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Jsonrpc Integration
+
+The library now uses the standard Jsonrpc.Server from jsonrpc-glib-1.0 for handling JSON-RPC communication. The custom JSON-RPC message types and transport layer have been removed in favor of the standard implementation.
+
+Key benefits:
+- Standard-compliant JSON-RPC 2.0 implementation
+- Robust error handling
+- Built-in support for async/await patterns
+- Proper STDIO transport handling
+
+#### Protocol Types
+
+```vala
+namespace Mcp.Types.Protocol {
+    public class ServerInfo : Object {
+        public string name { get; set; }
+        public string version { get; set; }
+        public string? description { get; set; }
+        public string? website_url { get; set; }
+    }
+    
+    public class ServerCapabilities : Object {
+        public bool logging { get; set; }
+        public bool completions { get; set; }
+        public PromptsCapabilities? prompts { get; set; }
+        public ResourcesCapabilities? resources { get; set; }
+        public ToolsCapabilities? tools { get; set; }
+    }
+    
+    public class PromptsCapabilities : Object {
+        public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+    }
+    
+    public class ResourcesCapabilities : Object {
+        public bool subscribe { get; set; }
+        public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+    }
+    
+    public class ToolsCapabilities : Object {
+        public bool list_changed { get; set; }
+    }
+}
+```
+

+## Implementation Considerations
+
+### JSON Handling Strategy
+
+1. **Use Json-Glib for data structures**: Use Json.Node, Json.Object, and Json.Array for MCP protocol types
+2. **Use GLib.Variant for Jsonrpc communication**: Convert between Json.Node and GLib.Variant when interfacing with Jsonrpc.Server
+3. **Type-safe serialization**: Create helper methods for converting between Vala objects and JSON
+4. **Validation**: Use Json-Glib's schema validation where applicable
+5. **Memory management**: Leverage Vala's reference counting for JSON objects
+
+### Asynchronous Operations
+
+1. **Gio.Async patterns**: Use async/await throughout for non-blocking operations
+2. **Jsonrpc integration**: Properly handle async method calls with Jsonrpc.Server
+
+### Jsonrpc Integration Benefits
+
+1. **Standard compliance**: Full JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance through jsonrpc-glib-1.0
+2. **Robust error handling**: Built-in error handling and response formatting
+3. **IO handling**: Proper STDIO transport handling with buffering and error recovery
+4. **Performance**: Optimized JSON parsing and message handling
