| 1 | +# Foundry and Hardhat Command Execution Implementation |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Summary |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This implementation adds comprehensive support for executing Foundry and Hardhat commands through the Remix MCP Server, allowing AI agents to interact with these development frameworks. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Changes Made |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### 1. Plugin Extensions |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +#### Foundry Plugin (`apps/remixdesktop/src/plugins/foundryPlugin.ts`) |
| 12 | +- **Added method:** `runCommand(commandArgs: string)` |
| 13 | + - Executes any Foundry command (forge, cast, anvil) |
| 14 | + - Validates commands to ensure they start with allowed tools |
| 15 | + - Captures stdout and stderr |
| 16 | + - Logs output to Remix terminal |
| 17 | + - Returns exit code and output |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- **Updated methods list:** Added `'runCommand'` to the profile |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +#### Hardhat Plugin (`apps/remixdesktop/src/plugins/hardhatPlugin.ts`) |
| 22 | +- **Added method:** `runCommand(commandArgs: string)` |
| 23 | + - Executes any Hardhat command |
| 24 | + - Validates commands to ensure they are Hardhat commands |
| 25 | + - Captures stdout and stderr |
| 26 | + - Logs output to Remix terminal |
| 27 | + - Returns exit code and output |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- **Updated methods list:** Added `'runCommand'` to the profile |

| 126 | + |
| 127 | +- Commands execute in the current working directory only |
| 128 | +- stdout and stderr are captured and logged |
| 129 | +- Exit codes are returned for error handling |
| 130 | +- No arbitrary shell commands allowed |
| 131 | +- Shell execution is scoped to validated framework commands |
| 132 | + |

| 265 | +3. **Deployment:** Run deployment scripts with network configurations |
| 266 | +4. **Contract Interaction:** Use Cast to interact with deployed contracts |
| 267 | +5. **Development:** Start local nodes, run console, and more |
| 268 | +6. **Security:** Command validation prevents arbitrary code execution |

| 273 | +The implementation seamlessly integrates with Remix IDE: |
| 274 | +- Terminal output shows command execution in real-time |
| 275 | +- File watchers sync compilation artifacts automatically |
| 276 | +- Working directory context maintained across commands |
| 277 | +- Plugin architecture ensures clean separation of concerns |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +## Future Enhancements |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +Potential improvements: |
| 282 | +- Add timeout configuration for long-running commands |
| 283 | +- Support for command cancellation |
| 284 | +- Better handling of interactive commands |
| 285 | +- Command history and replay functionality |
| 286 | +- Preset command templates for common operations |
