Cobol MCP Server

AI-assisted COBOL → modern stack bridge. Parse COBOL programs, map to Python/Java/Go, generate t... The cobol mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 6 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

COBOL → modern stack migration MCP. Real parser, cyclomatic complexity, phase planner. MIT

Adding it to your client

@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• COBOL-to — Python transpilation
• Free — 10 calls/day. No API key required
• Pro — ** $99/mo — Full MCP suite + EU AI Act tracking
• Enterprise — ** $499/mo — Custom dev + SLA + Dedicated support
• Domain — Purpose
• Tier — Price

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the cobol mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Cobol's toolset — COBOL-to, Free, Pro and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CSOAI-ORG; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
