The overview lacks clarity about what 'MCP tools' are and what specific problem this code generator solves. Consider adding a brief explanation of MCP and the current pain points this system addresses.

Suggested change

The MCP Tools Code Generator is a system designed to automate code generation for MCP tools. It will provide a flexible, template-based approach to generate consistent and maintainable code across the MCP toolset.

MCP (Modular Control Platform) tools are a suite of internal utilities used to manage, configure, and automate various aspects of our software infrastructure. Historically, developing and maintaining code for these tools has involved significant manual effort, leading to issues such as code duplication, inconsistency across tools, and increased maintenance overhead. The MCP Tools Code Generator is a system designed to automate code generation for MCP tools, addressing these pain points by providing a flexible, template-based approach to generate consistent and maintainable code across the MCP toolset.

The risks section identifies potential issues but lacks mitigation strategies. Each risk should include specific mitigation approaches to make this section actionable for implementers.

Suggested change

	- Performance impact with large-scale code generation
	- Integration challenges with existing build processes
	- Potential for generated code conflicts
	- Learning curve for template development
	- **Mitigation:** Establish template versioning, enforce template review processes, and automate template validation to catch errors early.
	- Performance impact with large-scale code generation
	- **Mitigation:** Optimize template rendering logic, implement caching for frequently used templates, and profile code generation to identify bottlenecks.
	- Integration challenges with existing build processes
	- **Mitigation:** Provide integration guides, maintain compatibility layers, and offer configurable output formats to ease adoption.
	- Potential for generated code conflicts
	- **Mitigation:** Implement output validation, use unique naming conventions, and provide conflict detection tools during generation.
	- Learning curve for template development
	- **Mitigation:** Offer comprehensive documentation, example templates, and training sessions for new developers.

The dependencies section is too generic. Consider specifying exact library names and versions, or at least provide evaluation criteria for selecting between the mentioned options (e.g., why Handlebars vs EJS).

Suggested change

	- Template engine library (e.g., Handlebars, EJS)
	- File system access library
	- YAML/JSON parser
	- Code formatting tools
	- Template engine library: **Handlebars v4.x** (chosen for its logic-less templates, wide adoption, and strong community support). If more advanced logic or custom tags are required, consider **EJS v3.x**. Criteria for selection: template syntax simplicity, extensibility, performance, and community support.
	- File system access library: **Node.js fs/promises** (native, no external dependency).
	- YAML/JSON parser: **js-yaml v4.x** for YAML, **JSON.parse** for JSON (native).
	- Code formatting tools: **Prettier v3.x** (for consistent code formatting across generated files).
