Modern Zig AI 10x dev assistant with comprehensive build system support

A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive Zig language assistance, including modern build system support, code optimization, and best practices guidance.

• 🏗️ Modern Build System Support: Generate and analyze build.zig files with Zig 0.12+ patterns
• 📦 Dependency Management: Create build.zig.zon files for modern package management
• 🔧 Enhanced Code Analysis: Improved optimization suggestions and pattern detection
• 🧪 Comprehensive Testing: 85+ test cases with full coverage reporting
• ⚡ Better Performance: Modular architecture with improved error handling
• 📚 Extended Documentation: Build system troubleshooting and best practices guides

Generate modern build.zig files with Zig 0.12+ patterns:

• Cross-compilation support
• Modern dependency management
• Test and documentation integration

Analyze existing build files and get modernization recommendations:

• Detect deprecated patterns
• Suggest Zig 0.12+ alternatives
• Identify missing best practices

Generate build.zig.zon files for modern package management:

• Popular Zig packages catalog
• Version management guidance
• Best practices documentation

Enhanced with modern Zig patterns and build mode analysis:

• Debug, ReleaseSafe, ReleaseFast, ReleaseSmall
• Modern optimization suggestions
• Zig 0.12+ pattern recommendations

// Example usage { "code": "const std = @import(\"std\");\n...", "optimizationLevel": "ReleaseFast" }

Estimates computational complexity and resource usage of Zig code:

• Memory usage analysis
• Time complexity estimation
• Allocation patterns detection

// Example usage { "code": "const std = @import(\"std\");\n..." }

Generates Zig code from natural language descriptions with support for:

• Error handling
• Testing
• Performance optimizations
• Documentation

// Example usage { "prompt": "Create a function that sorts an array of integers", "context": "Should handle empty arrays and use comptime when possible" }

Provides code improvement recommendations and best practices:

• Style and conventions
• Design patterns
• Safety considerations
• Performance insights

// Example usage { "code": "const std = @import(\"std\");\n...", "prompt": "Improve performance and safety" }
