About MCP-RoCQ

What is MCP-RoCQ: Scalable Coq Reasoning & Bulletproof Theorem Solving?

MCP-RoCQ is your trusty logic sidekick—a Model Context Protocol server that teams up with the Coq proof assistant to automate the heavy lifting of formal verification. Think of it as a turbocharged Swiss Army knife for mathematicians and developers who want to check types, define data structures, and prove properties without breaking a sweat (or a theorem).

Key Features of MCP-RoCQ: Scalable Coq Reasoning & Bulletproof Theorem Solving?

  • Dependable Type Police: Automatically verifies terms against even the most ornate dependent types, ensuring no type errors slip through.
  • Inductive Type Architects: Define custom inductive data types (like trees or lists) and let the system validate them on the fly—because who has time to manually check constructors?
  • Proof Automation Pro: Tackles property proofs with the precision of a robot lawyer, handling the tedious bits so you can focus on the fun, tricky parts.

MCP-RoCQ Features

How to Use MCP-RoCQ: Step-by-Step Guide for the Reluctant Genius

  1. Install Coq: Start by downloading the Coq platform (like planting a seed for your logic garden).
    https://coq.inria.fr/
  2. Clone the Repo: Use Git to grab the MCP-RoCQ codebase—no forks required, just a simple git clone.
  3. Configure & Conquer: Tweak the JSON config to match your project's needs (paths, preferences, etc.).
  4. Run Like the Wind: Launch the server and start sending requests. It’s smoother than your morning coffee ritual.

Real-World Use Cases: Where MCP-RoCQ Shines

  • Software Validation: Prove your code behaves like it should before deploying it to prod (because "it worked on my machine" isn’t a valid excuse).
  • Academic Rigor: Automate proofs for research papers—because manually writing 50-page proofs is for the masochists.
  • Security Checks: Verify cryptographic protocols to ensure they’re as bulletproof as the theorems behind them.

MCP-RoCQ FAQ

FAQ: Troubleshooting MCP-RoCQ Like a Pro

Q: Why does my type check keep failing?!

A: Check the dependency paths in your JSON config. MCP-RoCQ can be picky about where things live (it’s a perfectionist).

Q: The server won’t start. Now what?

A: Ensure Coq is installed properly and your system meets the requirements. Also, check for typos—yes, even the best tools hate them.

Q: Can I use this for my weekend project?

A: Absolutely! MCP-RoCQ doesn’t care if you’re building a Mars rover or a cat video classifier. Formally verified code is always better.

MCP-RoCQ (Coq Reasoning Server)

Currently shows tools but Claude can't use it properly for some reason- invalid syntax generally seems the issue but there could be something else.

There may be a better way to set this up with the coq cli or something. Anyone want to try and fix it who knows what they are doing would be great.

MCP-RoCQ is a Model Context Protocol server that provides advanced logical reasoning capabilities through integration with the Coq proof assistant. It enables automated dependent type checking, inductive type definitions, and property proving with both custom tactics and automation.

Features

  • Automated Dependent Type Checking : Verify terms against complex dependent types
  • Inductive Type Definition : Define and automatically verify custom inductive data types
  • Property Proving : Prove logical properties using custom tactics and automation
  • XML Protocol Integration : Reliable structured communication with Coq
  • Rich Error Handling : Detailed feedback for type errors and failed proofs

Installation

  1. Install the Coq Platform 8.19 (2024.10)

Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs.

https://github.com/coq/platform

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/angrysky56/mcp-rocq.git

cd to the repo

uv venv
./venv/Scripts/activate
uv pip install -e .

JSON for the Claude App or mcphost config- set your paths according to how you installed coq and the repository.

    "mcp-rocq": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "F:/GithubRepos/mcp-rocq",
        "run",
        "mcp_rocq",
        "--coq-path",
        "F:/Coq-Platform~8.19~2024.10/bin/coqtop.exe",
        "--lib-path",
        "F:/Coq-Platform~8.19~2024.10/lib/coq"
      ]
    },

This might work- I got it going with uv and most of this could be hallucinatory though:

  1. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

The server provides three main capabilities:

1. Type Checking

{
    "tool": "type_check",
    "args": {
        "term": "<term to check>",
        "expected_type": "<type>",
        "context": ["relevant", "modules"] 
    }
}

2. Inductive Types

{
    "tool": "define_inductive",
    "args": {
        "name": "Tree",
        "constructors": [
            "Leaf : Tree",
            "Node : Tree -> Tree -> Tree"
        ],
        "verify": true
    }
}

3. Property Proving

{
    "tool": "prove_property",
    "args": {
        "property": "<statement>",
        "tactics": ["<tactic sequence>"],
        "use_automation": true
    }
}
