debot

debot is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Debian Policy
Manual as MCP resources, with two tools:

- searchpolicy — multi-word keyword search over the whole policy manual;
a query need not match every word, but lines matching more of the query's
words rank first, returned as file:line: text matches
- upgradechecklist — emits the policy upgrade checklist sections from a
given standards version (the Standards-Version your package was last
checked against) until the latest

The policy manual is embedded at build time from the git submodule in
policy/, so the server needs no network access at runtime.

Configuration for opencode

To use debot as an MCP server with [opencode](https://github.com/opencode), add
the following to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

``jsonc
{
"mcp": {

 "debot": {

   "type": "local",

   "enabled": true,

   "command": ["debot", "mcp"]

 }

}
}
