PAMPA MCP Usage Rules

You have access to PAMPA, a code memory system that indexes and allows semantic search in projects.

Basic Instructions

1. ALWAYS at the start of a session:

   • Run pampa_get_project_stats to check if the project is indexed
   • If no database exists, run pampa_index_project
   • Run pampa_update_project to sync with recent changes

2. BEFORE creating any function:

   • Use pampa_search_code with semantic queries like "user authentication", "validate email", "error handling"
   • Review existing code with pampa_get_code_chunk before writing new code

3. AFTER modifying code:

   • Run pampa_update_project to update the knowledge base
   • This keeps the project memory synchronized

Available Tools

• pampa_search_code(query, limit) - Search code semantically
• pampa_get_code_chunk(sha) - Get complete code of a chunk
• pampa_index_project(path) - Index project for the first time
• pampa_update_project(path) - Update index after changes
• pampa_get_project_stats(path) - Get project statistics

Strategy

Use PAMPA as your project memory. Search before creating, keep updated after changes, and leverage existing knowledge to avoid code duplication.

Query Examples

"user authentication middleware"
"database connection setup"
"error handling patterns"
"form validation logic"
"API endpoint configuration"

Always use descriptive, intent-based queries that describe what the code does, not just keywords.
