xmcp's hot reload feature is a highlight of the framework , it allows developers to modify the code immediately after seeing changes without having to manually restart the server . The specific implementation mechanism is:
- In development mode (via
npm run devstartup), xmcp monitors the tools directory for file changes - Automatically reloads relevant modules when file modifications are detected
- The new processing logic takes effect immediately and responds to user requests
Development benefits from this feature include:
- Significantly increase development efficiency and reduce wait times
- Enabling truly instant feedback and accelerating the iterative process
- Especially suited for rapid prototyping scenarios
- Reduces debugging difficulty and makes problem localization more intuitive
For example, if a developer modifies the strings in the grey.ts file and saves the file, they can immediately see the updated results in the browser, which brings a quantum leap in the development experience.
