What This Project Is

Solapur Software Developers is an independent, non-commercial, ad-free directory of software developers and IT professionals based in Solapur, Maharashtra, India.

It ranks developers using a publicly documented, transparent scoring formula based on verifiable technical evidence — not paid placements or sponsorships.

The Broader Goal: AI SEO / AI Discoverability

This is not a normal SEO project. The strategy goes beyond ranking web pages in search results:

• Make the site understandable by search engines
• Make the site understandable by AI systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
• Make the data directly consumable by AI agents and LLM tools
• Expose structured access through MCP (Model Context Protocol)

We put high-quality, structured, verified business and profile data directly where AI systems and agent ecosystems can use it.

What Has Been Implemented

Discovery Layer (Phase 1 — Complete)

Structured Data (Phase 2 — Complete)

• data/solapur-software-developers.json: The canonical structured dataset (single source of truth).

It contains:

• Site metadata and mission
• Ranking methodology and formula weights
• Developer profiles with scores, skills, projects, links
• Score leaderboard and head-to-head comparisons
• Verified reviews
• FAQ (Q&A pairs for AI answer targeting)
• AI priority facts for direct LLM consumption

Ranking Methodology

The directory ranks developers using this public formula:

Score = (Rating × 40%) + (Skills × 30%) + (Projects × 20%) + (Experience × 10%)

Verification pipeline:

1. Repo Audit — Code quality, consistency, and GitHub contribution analysis
2. Impact Check — Live product verification, user base, and real-world delivery
3. Technical Rank — Complexity scoring and modern technology adoption

No paid placements. No ads. No sponsored rankings.

MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

A remote HTTP-compatible MCP server is fully implemented at /api/mcp. It exposes the directory data directly to AI agents.

Exposed Resources:

• site://about: Company mission and location details.
• site://services: Exposed directory services.
• site://developers: Full list of software developers.
• site://developer/{id}: Detailed profiles for individual developers.
• site://scores: Detailed score leaderboard and composite stats.
• site://contact: Contact details and metadata.

Exposed Tools:

• get_company_info: Retrieve high-level site metadata.
• list_developers: List all registered developers.
• get_developer_profile: Get detailed profile by ID.
• find_developer_by_skill: Search developers matching a specific skill.
• list_top_developers: Fetch top-ranked developers sorted by ranking.

Local Setup & Development

1. Running the Front-End Website

To view and run the human-readable directory locally:

# Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mdyahhya/solapursoftwares.git cd solapursoftwares

Serve static directory files

npx serve .

Access the front-end at `http://localhost:3000` (or the port shown in your terminal).

2. Running and Testing the MCP Server Locally

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server runs as a serverless function inside /api/mcp.js. To run it locally mimicking a server environment:

# Install Next.js or standard Vercel CLI locally

npm install -g vercel

Start Vercel dev server to compile and run API serverless functions

vercel dev

Once Vercel Dev is running, the local MCP endpoint will be active at `http://localhost:3000/api/mcp`.

To test that the JSON-RPC interface works correctly, you can make a curl call:

# List all available tools

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/list", "params": {}, "id": 1}'

🛠️ MCP Agent Integration Guide

You can integrate this verified developer directory directly into your AI coding environments and agents (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Windsurf).

1. Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the server definition to your claude_desktop_config.json (typically located in %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{

"mcpServers": { "solapur-software-developers": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-http", "--url", "https://solapursoftwaredevelopers.dominal.in/api/mcp" ] } } }

2. Cursor / Windsurf Configuration

To query Solapur software developers directly in Cursor's chat or agent modes:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Features -> MCP.
2. Click + Add New MCP Server.
3. Fill in the values:

• Name: solapur-devs
• Type: sse or http (configured as standard remote endpoint)
• URL: https://solapursoftwaredevelopers.dominal.in/api/mcp

1. Save and toggle the status to Active.

🔒 Security, Trust & Repository Hygiene

To maintain the highest level of supply chain trust and data integrity, this project enforces the following security posture:

1. Dependabot Alerts: Active on GitHub to scan dependencies for vulnerabilities.
2. Secret Scanning & Push Protection: Enabled to prevent inadvertent committing of API credentials or server variables.
3. Private Vulnerability Reporting: Enabled on GitHub. Please refer to SECURITY.md to report vulnerabilities privately.
4. CORS Protections: The remote /api/mcp server sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to accommodate remote client calls while restricting operations strictly to safe, public, read-only queries.
