feat: Implement intelligent tool router pattern (Phase 1)
Adds tool discovery system to reduce AI context usage by up to 70% while maintaining full access to all 59 tools. Organizes tools into 7 logical categories with automatic discovery and execution. ## What's New ### Tool Router System - 12 direct tools (always visible for high-frequency operations) - 47 routed tools (organized into 7 discoverable categories) - 4 router tools for discovery and execution: - list_tool_categories - Browse all categories - get_category_tools - View tools in a category - search_tools - Find tools by keyword - execute_tool - Execute any routed tool ### Tool Categories 1. board (9 tools) - Board configuration, layers, zones 2. component (8 tools) - Advanced component operations 3. export (8 tools) - Manufacturing file generation 4. drc (8 tools) - Design rule checking & validation 5. schematic (8 tools) - Schematic editor operations 6. library (4 tools) - Footprint library access 7. routing (2 tools) - Advanced routing (vias, copper pours) ## Implementation Details ### New Files - src/tools/registry.ts - Tool categorization and lookup system - src/tools/router.ts - Router tool implementations - docs/ROUTER_ARCHITECTURE.md - Design specification - docs/ROUTER_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md - Implementation status - docs/TOOL_INVENTORY.md - Complete tool catalog - docs/ROUTER_QUICK_START.md - User guide - docs/mcp-router-guide.md - Implementation guide - test-router.js - Registry test suite ### Modified Files - src/server.ts - Integrated router tool registration - README.md - Updated with router documentation and user feedback section ## Benefits - Reduces AI context by organizing tools into discoverable categories - Maintains backwards compatibility (all tools still functional) - Seamless user experience (discovery is automatic) - Extensible architecture for adding new tools - Comprehensive documentation ## Testing ✅ Build passes (npm run build) ✅ Registry tests pass (node test-router.js) ✅ Server starts successfully with router tools ✅ All 59 tools remain accessible ## Current State Phase 1 Complete: Infrastructure implemented and tested Phase 2 Pending: Optional token optimization (hide routed tools from context) Token impact: - Current: ~42K tokens (all tools still registered) - Potential: ~12K tokens (70% reduction with Phase 2) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
