excom

EXCOM is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built specifically for the Elixir programming language. It enables developers to create and manage context-aware applications efficiently, facilitating seamless communication between different components in your application architecture. By leveraging EXCOM, you can enhance your applications with advanced context management capabilities that streamline data handling and improve overall performance.

Once you have connected to the EXCOM server, you can interact with it using various commands tailored for managing model contexts. You can send requests to retrieve or update context data, and you can also subscribe to context changes for real-time updates. While there are no specific tools documented for EXCOM, using Elixir's native capabilities to handle HTTP requests will allow you to make the most of the server’s features, such as querying context information or modifying it based on your application's needs.

To install EXCOM, ensure you have Elixir installed on your system as a prerequisite. You can then proceed with one of the following installation methods:

Option A: Quick start with npx (if npm package exists)
Currently, there is no NPM package specified for EXCOM.

Option B: Global install alternative
Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/mtrudel/excom.git
cd excom

Then, you can compile and run the server using Elixir:

mix deps.get
mix run --no-halt

Make sure to follow any additional setup instructions in the repository documentation.

When configuring EXCOM, consider setting environment variables that define your context management preferences, such as default context values or connection settings. A common gotcha is forgetting to start the server with mix run --no-halt, which is essential for keeping the server active and responsive in your development environment. Be sure to refer to the GitHub repository for any updates or additional configuration options.
