This is NOT an MCP server. MCP Monitor is a VS Code extension that displays status of OTHER MCP servers in a dashboard UI. It has no actual MCP tool definitions, no input schemas, and no protocol implementation. The 'tools' referenced (brain_manage_task, brain_manage_memory) are inferred from incomplete compiled JavaScript and do not appear as actual MCP tool registrations in the source. The package.json declares this as a VS Code extension (engines: vscode ^1.75.0), not an MCP server. The only code visible is a webview UI renderer (media/app.js) and VS Code extension lifecycle hooks (extension.js, mcp-monitor-view.js). No MCP protocol implementation, no tool schemas, no error handling, and no input validation are present.

• Clarify: Is this repository an MCP server or a VS Code extension? If it is truly a VS Code extension for monitoring OTHER MCP servers, it should not be evaluated as an MCP server itself. If the intent is to expose MCP tools, rebuild as a standalone MCP server using the official MCP SDK (e.g., @modelcontextprotocol/sdk).
• If MCP tools are intended, implement explicit tool registration in an MCP-compliant handler. Show full src/mcp-provider.ts (or .js) with complete MCPServer initialization, tool definitions with name, description, and inputSchema.
• For each tool, define a complete input schema using JSON Schema with explicit types and descriptions for every parameter. Example: { type: 'object', properties: { task_id: { type: 'string', description: 'The unique identifier of the task (e.g., TASK-12345).' } }, required: ['task_id'] }
• Expand tool descriptions to 100-200 characters explaining WHAT the tool does, WHEN to use it vs similar tools, and what it returns. Example: 'Retrieve a task by ID and return its title, status (open|in_progress|done), assignee, and due date. Use this when you need details about a specific task; use search_tasks() to find tasks by keyword.'
• Add clear, specific action verbs to tool names. Instead of 'manage_task', use separate tools: 'get_task', 'create_task', 'update_task', 'delete_task'. Instead of 'manage_memory', use 'store_memory' or 'retrieve_memory'.
• Document output schemas for each tool. Specify all fields returned, their types, and constraints. Example: { task_id: string, title: string, status: enum[open|in_progress|done], assignee_id: string, due_date: ISO8601string }
