ArchiScribe FAQs

Question 1

What ArchiMate model file format does ArchiScribe support?

Accepted Answer

ArchiScribe exclusively supports the ArchiMate Exchange File format for model ingestion. Users must provide their model files in this specific XML-based standard for the server to process them.

Question 2

Can I test ArchiScribe's functionality without integrating an AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ArchiScribe exposes a convenient HTTP API with GET endpoints for direct testing. You can query views by keyword or retrieve detailed information for specific views using standard HTTP requests, making it easy to interact with model data.

Question 3

What is ArchiScribe and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

ArchiScribe is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enable AI agents to access and retrieve information from ArchiMate models. It provides architectural context to engineers using AI coding assistants during the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Question 4

How does ArchiScribe help AI agents understand architectural details?

Accepted Answer

ArchiScribe provides two MCP tools, 'SearchViews' and 'GetViewDetails', which deliver ArchiMate model information in a markdown format. This format is easily understood by modern Large Language Models (LLMs), integrating architectural context directly into their workflow.

Question 5

How can I configure the server port and ArchiMate model path for ArchiScribe?

Accepted Answer

The server port and the path to your ArchiMate model file are configurable via environment variables (SERVER_PORT, MODEL_PATH) or by modifying the 'serverPort' and 'modelPath' keys in the 'config/settings.json' file. This allows for flexible deployment and usage.
