Structurizr DSL Debugger for Cursor

A specialized tool for debugging Structurizr DSL syntax issues in Cursor IDE. This tool integrates with Cursor using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide real-time Structurizr DSL error detection, analysis, and fix suggestions.

Features

• 🔍 Real-time error detection - Automatically captures syntax errors from Structurizr DSL files
• 🛠️ Suggested fixes - Provides intelligent suggestions to correct common DSL errors
• 🔄 Browser integration - Connects to Chrome with Structurizr pages to monitor errors
• 🧩 Cursor IDE integration - Seamlessly integrates with Cursor using MCP tools
• ⚙️ Configurable - Support for custom Structurizr port configuration
• 📊 Error history - Maintains logs of captured errors for review

Requirements

• Node.js 14+
• Cursor IDE
• Google Chrome with remote debugging enabled
• Structurizr Lite running locally (typically on port 8080)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/structurizr-dsl-debugger.git
   cd structurizr-dsl-debugger

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Set up Cursor IDE integration:

npm run setup

Usage

Starting Structurizr

1. Run Structurizr Lite (if not already running):

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/workspace:/workspace structurizr/lite

Using the Debugger

1. Launch Chrome with remote debugging enabled:

google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 http://localhost:8080

2. Start the DSL debugger:

# Standard start (default port 8080)
   npm start
   
   # With custom Structurizr port
   STRUCTURIZR_PORT=9090 npm start
   
   # Using the launcher with interactive prompts
   npm run debug

3. In Cursor IDE, use the MCP tools:

connectToBrowser: { "debugPort": 9222, "structurizrPort": 8080 }
   getDslErrors: { "count": 5 }
   clearDslErrors: {}
   fixDslError: { "line": 776, "fix": "dynamic ContainerName ErrorHandlingFlow {" }

Simplified Version

If you encounter issues with the main debugger, try the simplified version:

node simplified-dsl-debugger.js

With shorter MCP tool names:

connect: { "port": 9222 }
errors: { "count": 5 }
fix: { "line": 776, "solution": "dynamic ContainerName ErrorHandlingFlow {" }

Utility Scripts

• Capture errors directly:

npm run capture

• View captured errors:

npm run errors

Troubleshooting

Chrome Connection Issues

• Ensure Chrome is running with remote debugging enabled on port 9222
• Check if Chrome is already running with the --remote-debugging-port flag
• Try restarting Chrome with: google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 http://localhost:8080

MCP Tool Issues

• Verify the MCP server is running: npm start
• Try using the simplified version: node simplified-dsl-debugger.js
• Check the logs directory for captured errors
• Restart Cursor IDE

Port Conflicts

• Structurizr default port is 8080
• If another application is using port 8080, you can:
• Change the Structurizr port
• Update the debugger to use the new port: STRUCTURIZR_PORT=9090 npm start
