### Description (declared)

# mcp-lava 
 
`mcp-lava` is an **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that lets an LLM interact with a 
[Linaro LAVA](https://gitlab.com/lava/lava) by **wrapping** the official 
`lavacli` command-line tool. 
 
Instead of re-implementing LAVA's XML-RPC API, this server executes `lavacli` locally and returns 
results to the LLM in a tool-friendly way. 
 
## Why an MCP server for LAVA? 
 
LAVA is powerful, but day-to-day workflows often involve many repetitive CLI steps: 
 
- checking device availability and health 
- locating the right job definition 
- submitting jobs and monitoring states 
- pulling logs and artifacts for failed jobs 
- correlating failures across multiple runs 
- re-running jobs to reproduce or to confirm a fix 
 
An LLM can help with these workflows **if** it can reliably call the right commands and parse the 
outputs. `mcp-lava` provides that bridge: 
 
- **Reuses `lavacli` subcommands and output formats** (many support `--json` / `--yaml`). 
- **Keeps server logic minimal** (no duplicated API client). 
- **Makes automation conversational**: "find the last failed run for this device type and summarize 
  the failure", "show me the first kernel panic in the logs", etc. 
 
## Example scenarios 
 
A few practical things you can do with an LLM + `mcp-lava`: 
 
1. **Triage a failure quickly** 
   - List recent jobs for a project 
   - Detect failures, fetch logs, and summarize the suspected root cause 
   - Extract the first occurrence of an error pattern (e.g. *kernel panic*, *timeout*, *SSH failed*) 
 
2. **Lab status overview** 
   - List devices and filter to offline/retired/busy 
   - Show which workers are overloaded 
   - Identify the most flaky device type based on recent job outcomes 
 
3. **Job submission assistance** 
   - Validate that a device type exists 
   - Submit a job definition 
   - Track the job until completion and then download artifacts 
 
4. **Re-run / reproduce / confirm a fix ("rerun" workflow)** 
   - Re-run the same job…
