Toolbox

🚀 Toolbox: AI-Driven Automation Tool Development Platform

ToolBox is an AI-driven automation tool development platform open-sourced under the MIT license. By integrating with package.json configuration, it offers the following core features:

• Global CLI Tool Installation (using the tbx command)
• Workflow Scheduling Engine
• Multi-platform Support (Windows/macOS)
• Hybrid Cloud Deployment Capability (MongoDB/Redis/SSH)

✨ Features

1. Enterprise-Level Automation

• A robust modular architecture that provides flexible toolchain extension capabilities.
• Real-time debugging support (using the --inspect flag).
• VSCode debugging configuration templates.
• Hot reload mechanism:

  graph LR
    A[Code Modification] --> B[buildReload_tool]
    B --> C[Automatic Compilation]
    C --> D[Security Verification]
    D --> E[Tool Hot Reload]
  

  Achieved by calling buildReload_tool, it offers:
  • Zero-downtime updates
  • Automatic dependency tree parsing
  • Version compatibility checks
  • Independent sandbox environment testing

2. Developer-Friendliness

• Implemented in strongly-typed TypeScript.
• Supports debugging via Chrome DevTools and VSCode.
• Hot reload mechanism:

  graph LR
    A[Code Modification] --> B[buildReload_tool]
    B --> C[Automatic Compilation]
    C --> D[Security Verification]
    D --> E[Tool Hot Reload]
  

  Enables zero-downtime updates and version compatibility checks.

📦 Installation

Create a package.json file in the project root directory and add the following content:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "name": "toolbox_demo",
  "description": "ToolBox example project",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node build/index.js"
  },
  "tbx": {
    "servers": [
      {
        "id": "mcp_example_1",
        "type": "MCP_SERVER",
        "config": "examples/example_config.json"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Then run the following commands to complete the initialization:

npm install tbx --save-dev
tbx init

🔧 Technical Details

1. Node.js Debugging

Add the --inspect=9229 flag when starting the server:

node --inspect=9229 build/index.js

Then open chrome://inspect in Chrome for debugging.

2. MCP Debugging Tool

Use the MCP Inspector and start it with the following command:

npm run inspector

3. VSCode Debugging Configuration

Create a .vscode/launch.json file in the project root directory and add the following configuration:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "ToolBox Debugging",
            "address": "localhost",
            "port": 9229,
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}
