| description | Query an ArchiMate knowledge graph built from enterprise documents — architecture, dependencies, impact, and document-grounded answers. |
KnowledgeForge — Architecture Knowledge
KnowledgeForge (KF) ingests enterprise documents (PDF/DOCX/PPTX) and source code repositories, extracts an ArchiMate 3.2 knowledge graph (Business / Application / Technology layers), and exposes it via 8 MCP tools. Use these tools whenever the user asks about how systems are structured, how components depend on each other, what would break if something changes, or what the source documents actually say.
When to use
- Architecture questions: "What components make up the Order system?", "Show me the Business layer of the SAP migration."
- Dependency analysis: "Which services consume the CustomerProfile DataObject?", "What does BillingService depend on?"
- Impact assessment: "If I decommission AuthGateway, what breaks?", "Blast radius of removing the legacy mainframe interface."
- Document grounding: "Where in the source PDFs is this claim from?", "Show me the conformance score for doc X."
- Architectural overview / hub discovery: "Give me a brief", "Which entities are the choke points of this graph?"
Do not use these tools for general code questions, file reads, or shell tasks — they only know about the indexed graph.
Tools
| Tool | One-liner |
|---|
get_brief | High-level summary of the knowledge base: layers, doc count, top entities. |
query | Natural-language search across the graph (semantic + keyword over entities, relations, source chunks). |
get_entity | Fetch a specific entity by id or name with all attributes and source provenance. |
get_connections | Return the neighbors of an entity (configurable depth and edge-type filter). |
god_nodes | List the most highly-connected entities — architecture choke points / hubs. |
graph_stats | Counts per entity type, edge type, and per-document distribution. |
check_conformance | Validate a document's extracted graph against the ArchiMate ontology; returns score and violations. |
impact_analysis | Downstream and upstream blast radius if a given entity changes or is removed. |
Example trigger prompts
- "Give me a knowledge brief of what's indexed." →
get_brief
- "Find all DataObjects accessed by the OrderProcessing business process." →
query (then get_connections to expand)
- "Show me the entity 'BillingService' in detail." →
get_entity
- "What are the direct neighbors of the CustomerProfile DataObject, depth 2?" →
get_connections
- "Which 10 entities have the most connections in the graph?" →
god_nodes
- "How many ApplicationComponents and Realization edges do we have?" →
graph_stats
- "Did the SAP migration document conform to ArchiMate? Show violations." →
check_conformance
- "What breaks downstream if I remove the AuthGateway component?" →
impact_analysis
Prerequisites
The MCP server is a thin client over the kb-agent REST backend. The BACKEND_URL environment variable must point at a reachable KF backend (Cloud Run URL or local). Set KF_TENANT for multi-tenant deployments.
