# SemVer Version Manager MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> SemVer Version Manager stops your AI from guessing software versions. It replaces unpredictable LLM logic with the official NPM SemVer engine to handle complex version boundaries, compatibility checks, and list sorting. Instead of hoping your agent understands caret or tilde ranges, this Connector ensures your dependency resolutions are mathematically correct every time.

## Description

This Connector handles the complex math of software versioning for your AI agent. When you ask an AI to look at a project's dependencies, it often trips over the math. It might see a range like "greater than 1.4.0 but less than 2.0.0" and pick a version that actually breaks your build because it doesn't understand the nuances of semantic versioning. It's a common point of failure where the AI tries to be helpful but ends up creating a mess of incompatible packages. This tool takes that weight off your agent's shoulders by plugging directly into the official engine used by the Node.js ecosystem. It means when your agent parses a package.json file, it's not guessing which version is "newer" or "compatible"; it's getting a definitive answer from the source of truth. You can find this among the thousands of specialized connectors in the Vinkius catalog to make your automated workflows more reliable. It turns your agent into a precision tool for dependency management. If you're running automated CI/CD scripts or trying to audit a massive list of release tags, you don't want to double-check every single line of output. This tool handles the heavy lifting of sorting messy arrays of version strings and validating that your current environment satisfies every requirement in your manifest. It moves the logic from a probabilistic guess to a deterministic fact, ensuring your builds remain stable and your dependency tree stays clean.

## Tools

### check_semver_compatibility
Checks if a specific version satisfies a range like ^1.4.2. This ensures your agent never installs a version that breaks your project's requirements.

### sort_semver_list
Sorts a JSON array of version strings into the correct order. It handles complex tags like beta and rc automatically.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is version 1.5.2 compatible with the range ^1.4.0?
```

**Response:** 
```
### SemVer Compatibility Result

| Version | Range | Satisfied |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `1.5.2` | `^1.4.0` | ✅ **Yes**

**Details:**
*   `1.5.2` is safely within the caret range.
*   The version satisfies the minimum requirements without moving to a new major version.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Sort these tags: v1.0.0, v1.0.0-beta, v1.1.0, v1.0.0-rc.1
```

**Response:** 
```
### Sorted Release Tags

Here is the correct chronological order for your release tags:

1. `v1.0.0-beta`
2. `v1.0.0-rc.1`
3. `v1.0.0`
4. `v1.1.0`

**Note:** Pre-release tags are correctly ordered before the stable release.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the next minor version of 1.4.3-alpha?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Version Bump Result

**New Version:** `1.5.0`

**Explanation:**
*   A standard minor bump increments the middle digit.
*   The `alpha` pre-release tag is dropped during a standard minor bump to move to a stable release.
```

## Capabilities

### Validate version ranges
Checks if a specific version fits a range like ^1.4.2.

### Sort release lists
Organize a messy array of version strings into a perfect chronological sequence.

### Compare version priority
Determine if one version is greater, lesser, or equal to another.

### Parse package manifests
Analyze package.json files for compatibility issues.

### Handle pre-release tags
Correctly order versions containing -beta or -rc flags.

## Use Cases

### Verifying peer dependency compatibility
A developer asks the AI to find the latest version that fits a peer dependency. The agent uses check_semver_compatibility to find the exact match instead of guessing a number.

### Organizing release history
A maintainer needs to list all releases in order. The agent takes a messy list and uses sort_semver_list to generate a perfect chronological sequence.

### Automated CI/CD environment checks
A CI/CD agent is checking for version drift. The agent verifies current versions against the manifest to ensure they satisfy all requirements.

### Auditing outdated packages
A security auditor wants to know which versions of a library are safe. The agent identifies which versions are actually compatible with the current environment.

## Benefits

- Eliminate broken builds by forcing your agent to use the official NPM SemVer engine for all compatibility checks. This ensures that every dependency your agent picks is mathematically valid for your current environment.
- Get perfect sorting of release tags, even when they include messy pre-release labels like beta or rc. This removes the need for manual reordering when you are generating changelogs or documentation.
- Stop wasting time double-checking AI-generated version bumps in your package.json files. By using the official engine, you can trust that the agent's suggestions won't introduce breaking changes or version conflicts.
- Automate dependency audits with confidence, knowing the math is handled by a deterministic engine. This is a huge win for security teams who need to verify that every installed package meets specific version requirements.
- Handle complex caret and tilde ranges without the AI making logical mistakes that crash your environment. The Connector understands the exact rules of the SemVer spec, so you don't have to worry about edge cases.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that your AI stops guessing and starts calculating real software version logic.

1. Connect the Connector to your AI client via the Vinkius dashboard.
2. Provide the AI with a list of versions or a specific range to check.
3. Get back a mathematically accurate sort or a true/false compatibility result.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What does SemVer Version Manager do?**
It provides your AI agent with the ability to perform accurate semantic versioning math. This includes checking if a version fits a specific range and sorting messy lists of release tags correctly.

**How does this help with NPM packages?**
It ensures your AI doesn't hallucinate version numbers when reading package.json files. It uses the official NPM engine to verify compatibility, preventing broken builds caused by incorrect dependency logic.

**Can it handle pre-release tags like beta?**
Yes, it understands the full SemVer specification. It can correctly sort and compare versions that include complex labels like -beta, -rc, and other pre-release identifiers.

**Why shouldn't I just let the AI guess the version?**
LLMs are probabilistic and often fail at precise version logic. Using this Connector replaces guessing with deterministic calculation, which is the only way to ensure your software builds remain stable.

**Does this work for other versioning systems?**
This is specifically designed for Semantic Versioning. While it excels at the standard used by NPM and most modern software, it is not intended for non-standard versioning schemes.

**How does this improve my CI/CD pipeline?**
It makes your automated deployment agents much more reliable. By accurately validating dependencies before they are installed, you reduce the risk of pipeline failures caused by version conflicts.

**Why use this instead of letting the LLM read the version?**
LLMs do not understand numerical boundaries logically.

**Does it support pre-release tags?**
Yes, it perfectly evaluates -alpha, -beta, and -rc tags according to SemVer rules.

**Can it sort an array of versions?**
Yes, passing an array guarantees a flawless descending or ascending output.
