The EIB MCP-RAG platform has completed 26 SDD sessions across 45 workflows with a 0% abandonment rate. The knowledge base now contains 85,995 documents across 6 ChromaDB collections and 2,653,565 relationships in Neo4j. All 51 MCP tools are operational. RAG quality metrics are stable (P@5=0.71, MRR=0.93, Coverage=93%). No domain scores below B-.

Key milestones since the last report:

• Phase 46 (Mar 13): Closed all remaining documentation gaps — 6 rate-limited RTD sources finally ingested via curl-based crawler
• Phase 44 (Mar 11): RAG Quality Assurance framework with ground truth corpus (60 queries) and automated benchmarking
• Phase 43/43a (Mar 11): Expert System Self-Diagnosis — health trending, knowledge integrity checks, auto-remediation
• Phase 41 (Mar 8): ESMF/NUOPC fully ingested (~10,812 chunks), collection grew 265%
• Phase 39 (Mar 7): UFS Fortran Graph — 22,756 new nodes, no remaining "CRITICAL" graph gaps

SDD = Spec-Driven Development: "If it's not in the SDD, it doesn't get coded."

1. Plan → Create spec in sdd_framework/workflows/phaseX_feature_name.md
2. Session → start_sdd_session with workflow reference
3. Execute → record_sdd_step for each implement/validate/document step
4. Complete → complete_sdd_session with final summary + commit refs
5. History → get_sdd_execution_history tracks all sessions with analytics

phase<N><letter>_<descriptor>.md — e.g., phase41_external_framework_documentation.md

Sub-phases use a letter suffix (e.g., phase34a, phase43a). Currently 45 workflows spanning Phases 8–46.

Each recorded step is tagged with one of:

• implement (50% of all steps) — actual code/config changes
• validate (32%) — testing and verification
• document (10%) — documentation updates
• plan (5%) — planning and design
• review (3%) — code review and analysis

Sessions have maintained a consistent pace of 2-3 per day during active development sprints. The implement-to-validate ratio (1.6:1) indicates disciplined testing alongside feature work.

ESMF and NUOPC were ingested in Phase 41 (March 8, 2026) as tier-1 critical sources.

With ESMF/NUOPC in the knowledge base, the platform can now answer:

• "How do model components couple via NUOPC caps?" → IPD phase definitions, driver/model/mediator generic components
• "ESMF field bundle creation" → ESMF_FieldBundleCreate API with parameters, usage patterns
• "NUOPC cap initialization phases" → IPD phase sequence with detailed descriptions (validated at 38.8% similarity)
• "CMEPS mediator data exchange" → Mediator configuration and field exchange patterns (validated at 56.7% similarity)
• "ESMF component coupling" → explain_with_context returns ESMF coupling framework details with graph context

Phase 46 added graph-level support:

• 89 ExternalLibrary stub nodes for ESMF, NUOPC, FMS, and MPI
• 249 USES edges connecting Fortran modules to ExternalLibrary stubs
• Enables find_dependencies and trace_execution_path queries to surface ESMF/NUOPC usage

Six ReadTheDocs sources were initially blocked by 429 rate limiting in Phase 41. Phase 46 built crawl_rtd_curl.js — a curl-based crawler that bypasses RTD's Python TLS fingerprinting — and successfully ingested all six:

Bottom line: No domain below B-.

Last full health check: March 16, 2026

Not urgently. Only one file baked into the image changed since the last build: src/graphrag/evaluation/benchmark_results.json (a data file). No tool code, core logic, or config files were modified. The Docker Gateway is serving the correct tool implementations.

However, if you want the gateway to reflect the latest benchmark data, rebuild with:

docker build -f SETUP/dockerfiles/Dockerfile.mcp-server -t eib-mcp-rag:latest ./mcp_server_node
# Then restart the gateway
pkill -f "docker-mcp gateway"
docker stop $(docker ps -q --filter "label=docker-mcp-name=eib-mcp-rag") 2>/dev/null
docker rm $(docker ps -aq --filter "label=docker-mcp-name=eib-mcp-rag") 2>/dev/null
MCP_GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN="eib-mcp-gateway-token-2025" docker mcp gateway run \
  --catalog eib-local.yaml --servers eib-mcp-rag \
  --transport streaming --port 18888 --long-lived &

1. C++ core code — 402K LOC in JEDI/UFS not yet in graph (Fortran and Python done)
2. UFS Waves vector coverage (50%) — WW3 source code chunking could improve
3. Air Quality documentation (50%) — CMAQ wiki partially ingested
4. JEDI ecosystem vectors (40%) — large codebase, partial coverage
5. Build system vectors (30%) — CMake files not chunked into ChromaDB
