Verify Python path: `which python3` and update configuration 2. Check file permissions: `chmod +x poe_server_phase2.py` 3. Test manually: `cd /path/to/server && python3 poe_server_phase2.py` 4. Check logs: Look for errors in terminal output ### Authentication Errors **Issue**: "Invalid API key" or "Authentication failed" **Solutions**: 1. Verify POE_API_KEY in `.env` file 2. Ensure key is added to Warp MCP config environment 3. Test key at [poe.com/api_key](https://poe.com/api_key) ### Rate Limiting Issues **Issue**: "Rate limit exceeded" errors **Solutions**: 1. Increase `RATE_LIMIT_RPM` in configuration 2. Enable request queuing (automatic in Phase 2 server) 3. Implement exponential backoff in client code ### Context Not Working **Issue**: POE doesn't see terminal output or context **Solutions**: 1. Use `poe_server_phase2.py` (not basic server) 2. Ensure Warp context permissions are enabled 3. Update to latest Warp version ### Linux-Specific Issues **Issue**: Permission denied or module not found **Solutions**: ```bash # Fix permissions chmod -R 755 /path/to/enhanced-poe-mcp chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/enhanced-poe-mcp # Install missing Python packages pip install -r requirements.txt # Use virtual environment source venv/bin/activate ``` ## 🚀 Remote Deployment Guide (Railway) ### Why Host Remotely? - Avoids local stability issues - Always available, even when your machine is off - Centralized configuration management - Better for team collaboration ### Step-by-Step Railway Deployment 1. **Prepare Your Project**: ```bash cd enhanced-poe-mcp # Create Procfile for Railway echo 'web: python poe_server_phase2.py' > Procfile # Ensure requirements.txt is complete pip freeze > requirements.txt # Create runtime.txt for Python version echo "python-3.11.x" > runtime.txt # Commit changes git add . git commit -m "Add Railway deployment files" git push origin main ``` 2. **Set Up Railway**: - Sign up at [railway.app](https://railway.app) (free with GitHub) - Click **"New Project"** → **"Deploy from GitHub repo"** - Select your `enhanced-poe-mcp` repository - Railway will auto-detect Python and begin deployment 3. **Configure Environment Variables**: In Railway dashboard, go to **Variables** tab and add: ``` POE_API_KEY=your_poe_api_key_here PORT=8000 DEBUG_MODE=false RATE_LIMIT_RPM=500 PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 ``` 4. **Get Your Server URL**: - Go to **Settings** tab in Railway - Under **Domains**, click **"Generate Domain"** - Copy your URL (e.g., `https://your-app.up.railway.app`) 5. **Configure Warp with Remote URL**: ```json { "enhanced-poe-mcp": { "url": "https://your-app.up.railway.app/mcp/stream" } } ``` 6. **Test the Connection**: ```bash # Test your remote server curl https://your-app.up.railway.app/health # Should return: # {"status": "healthy", "version": "2.0.0"} ``` ### Monitoring Your Remote Server - **Logs**: View in Railway dashboard under "Deployments" - **Metrics**: Check `/metrics` endpoint - **Health**: Monitor `/health` endpoint - **Usage**: Railway shows resource consumption in dashboard ## 🌗️ Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ Warp Terminal │ ◄──────►│ POE MCP Server │ │ │ MCP ├──────────────────────────┤ │ - User Input │ Proto │ • Request Handler │ │ - Context │ │ • Rate Limiter │ │ - Actions │ │ • Session Manager │ └─────────────────┘ │ • Warp Context Handler │ │ • Streaming Engine │ └───────────┬──────────────┘ │ ┌───────────▼──────────────┐ │ POE API │ │ │ │ • Claude, GPT-4o │ │ • Gemini, Perplexity │ └──────────────────────────┘ ``` ## 🧪 Testing ```bash # Run all tests python run_tests.py # Run with verbose output python run_tests.py --verbose # Test specific components python -m pytest tests/test_poe_server.py -v python -m pytest tests/test_rate_limiter.py -v python -m pytest tests/test_streaming.py -v ``` ## 📚 API Documentation ### MCP Tools Reference | Tool | Description | Parameters | |------|-------------|------------| | `ask_poe` | Basic POE query | `prompt`, `model`, `session_id` | | `ask_with_attachment` | Query with file | `prompt`, `model`, `file_path` | | `ask_poe_with_warp_context` | Context-aware query | `prompt`, `model`, `warp_context` | | `stream_poe_to_warp` | Streaming response | `prompt`, `model`, `stream=true` | | `execute_warp_action` | Run terminal command | `action_type`, `content`, `validate` | | `clear_session` | Reset conversation | `session_id` | | `list_available_models` | Get model list | - | | `health_check` | Server health | - | | `get_metrics` | Performance stats | - | ## 🤝 Contributing We welcome contributions!
