io.github.CSOAI-ORG/cobol-bridge-mcp (MCP Server)

This MCP server is an AI-assisted COBOL → modern stack bridge. It parses COBOL programs and maps them to Python/Java/Go. The provided README excerpt describes it as a read-only sidecar component, with an external cobolbridge.ai HTTP service on port 522, though the documentation does not attach that domain.

🛠️ Key Features

COBOL program parsing
Mapping output to Python/Java/Go
Read-only sidecar behavior (explicitly does not write to core/ledger/CICS)
Uses io.github.CSOAI-ORG/cobol-bridge-mcp as its mcp-name

🚀 Use Cases

Legacy modernization involving COBOL
Generating bridge artifacts from COBOL for modern languages

⚡ Developer Benefits

Provides a Model Context Protocol server interface for a COBOL-to-modern-stack workflow
Documentation references a SPEC and SPEC.md (described as a SPEC, not a live product)

⚠️ Limitations

Described as SPEC-only: “read-only sidecar (SPEC)”
Not certified and not partnered (as stated in the excerpt)
No pricing tiers included on this measurement surface

COBOL Bridge MCP — read-only sidecar (SPEC)

SPEC, not a live product. See SPEC.md.

Read-only sidecar. Never writes core / ledger / CICS.

cobolbridge.ai HTTP 522 sits. This README does not attach the domain.

No Starter / Pro / Enterprise pricing on this measurement surface.

Not certified. Not partnered. Not a second GSPC board.
