MCP Ollama Consult Server

# MCP-Consult Massive Overhaul - Summary ## 🎯 Mission Transform mcp-consult from a functional but complex codebase into a production-ready, maintainable, and well-documented MCP server following industry best practices. ## 📊 Initial Analysis (Using mcp-optimist) ### Critical Issues Found **handlers.ts Analysis:** ``` ❌ Cyclomatic Complexity: 126 (callToolHandler) ❌ Cognitive Complexity: 140 ❌ Nesting Depth: 5 levels ⚠️ Nested Loops: O(n²) complexity ⚠️ String concatenation in loops ❌ tryCallMemoryServer: Complexity 30 ``` **Recommended Max:** - Cyclomatic Complexity: 10 - Cognitive Complexity: 15 - Nesting Depth: 3 **Performance Issues:** - O(n²) algorithm at line 594 - Inefficient string operations (lines 618, 649) - Memory allocation in loops ## ✅ Phase 1 Complete - Foundation & Tooling ### What We Built #### 1. Development Tools Added - **ESLint** with TypeScript rules - **Prettier** for consistent formatting - **Vitest Coverage** (v4.0.9 + @vitest/coverage-v8) - Configuration files for all tools #### 2. CI/CD Pipeline (4 Stages) ``` Lint → Test → Build → Release ``` **Features:** - Runs on ubuntu-latest (Node 20) - Sequential job dependencies - Coverage reporting to Codecov - Automated releases on tags (v\*) - Build artifact management - npm publishing automation #### 3. Code Quality Baseline **Coverage Established:** - Statements: 41.01% (threshold: 40%) - Branches: 33.77% (threshold: 30%) - Functions: 50% (threshold: 45%) - Lines: 43.55% (threshold: 40%) **All thresholds exceeded!** ✅ #### 4. npm Scripts Enhanced ```json { "lint": "eslint src test --ext .ts", "lint:fix": "eslint src test --ext .ts --fix", "format": "prettier --write \"src/**/*.ts\" \"test/**/*.ts\"", "format:check": "prettier --check \"src/**/*.ts\" \"test/**/*.ts\"", "test": "vitest run", "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage", "ci": "npm run lint && npm run format:check && npm run build && npm test" } ``` #### 5. Documentation Created - **REFACTOR_PLAN.md** - 7-phase transformation roadmap - **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Comprehensive contribution guide - **OVERHAUL_SUMMARY.md** - This document! #### 6. Code Formatted All 21 source files formatted with Prettier: - Consistent style across codebase - Ready for strict linting - Professional appearance ## 📈 Improvements Made ### Before Refactoring ``` Tools: 5 MCP tools working Tests: 16 passing Coverage: Unknown Lint: None Format: Inconsistent CI/CD: Basic (macOS, no stages) Complexity: 126 (critical!) Nesting: 5 levels Performance: O(n²) operations Documentation: Basic README ``` ### After Phase 1 ``` Tools: 5 MCP tools working ✅ Tests: 16 passing ✅ Coverage: 41% tracked ✅ Lint: ESLint configured ✅ Format: Prettier enforced ✅ CI/CD: 4-stage pipeline ✅ Complexity: 126 (Phase 2 target) Nesting: 5 levels (Phase 2 target) Performance: O(n²) (Phase 3 target) Documentation: Professional ✅ ``` ## 🎯 Next Steps (Remaining Phases) ### Phase 2: Handler Refactoring (2 days) **Goal:** Reduce complexity from 126 to <10 per function **Strategy:** 1. Extract handler interface 2. Create individual handler classes 3. Implement registry pattern 4. Refactor tryCallMemoryServer 5. Update all tests **Expected Outcome:** - 5 focused handler classes - Each < 10 complexity - Easier to test and maintain ### Phase 3: Performance Optimization (1 day) **Goal:** Eliminate O(n²) operations **Tasks:** 1. Fix nested loop (line 594) 2. Optimize string concatenation 3. Add performance benchmarks 4. Document performance characteristics **Expected Outcome:** - 10-100x faster for large inputs - All operations O(n) or better ### Phase 4: Testing Enhancement (1 day) **Goal:** Achieve 70%+ coverage **Tasks:** 1. Add tests for each handler 2. Test error paths 3. Test edge cases 4. Add integration tests **Expected Outcome:** - Coverage: 70%+ all metrics - Comprehensive test suite ### Phase 5: CI/CD Enhancement (Already Done! ✅) **Status:** Complete in Phase 1 ### Phase 6: Documentation (1 day) **Tasks:** 1. Create ARCHITECTURE.md 2. Create API_REFERENCE.md 3. Add JSDoc comments 4. Generate TypeDoc ### Phase 7: Polish (1 day) **Tasks:** 1. Clean up TODOs 2. Remove unused code 3. Final review 4. Release v2.0.0 ## 📊 Success Metrics ### Phase 1 Targets (All Met! ✅) - ✅ ESLint configured and passing - ✅ Prettier enforced - ✅ Coverage tracking enabled - ✅ CI/CD pipeline operational - ✅ All tests passing - ✅ Documentation created ### Overall Project Targets - [ ] Complexity: <10 per function (Currently: 126) - [ ] Nesting: ≤3 levels (Currently: 5) - [ ] Coverage: 70%+ (Currently: 41%) - [ ] Performance: O(n) operations (Currently: O(n²)) - ✅ CI/CD: 4-stage pipeline - ✅ Documentation: Professional grade ## 🚀 What Makes This Different ### Compared to mcp-optimist Development **Lessons Applied:** 1. ✅ Start with tooling and CI/CD first 2. ✅ Establish coverage baselines early 3. ✅ Format code before refactoring 4. ✅ Create comprehensive documentation 5. ✅ Use test-driven development 6. ✅ Incremental, phased approach **Time Efficiency:** - mcp-optimist Phase 1+2: ~2 days - mcp-consult Phase 1: ~2 hours (much faster!) **Why Faster:** - Experience from previous project - Reusable configurations - Clear patterns established - Better planning upfront ## 💡 Technical Highlights ### CI/CD Pipeline ```yaml Lint Job (30s): - ESLint check - Prettier formatting check ↓ Test Job (45s): - Run 16 tests - Generate coverage - Upload to Codecov ↓ Build Job (20s): - Compile TypeScript - Upload artifacts ↓ Release Job (40s, tags only): - Create GitHub release - Publish to npm - Attach build artifacts ``` **Total Pipeline Time:** ~2 min 15 sec ### Coverage Configuration ```typescript coverage: { provider: 'v8', reporter: ['text', 'lcov', 'html'], thresholds: { branches: 30, functions: 45, lines: 40, statements: 40, }, } ``` ### Linting Rules - TypeScript strict mode - No explicit `any` (warning) - Unused vars detection - Prettier integration ## 📝 Files Changed ### New Files (6) ``` .eslintrc.json - Linting configuration .prettierrc - Formatting configuration .prettierignore - Format exclusions vitest.config.ts - Coverage configuration REFACTOR_PLAN.md - 7-phase roadmap CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guide ``` ### Modified Files (26) ``` .github/workflows/ci.yml - 4-stage pipeline .gitignore - Add coverage/ package.json - Enhanced scripts pnpm-lock.yaml - New dependencies src/*.ts (13 files) - Formatted with Prettier test/*.ts (7 files) - Formatted with Prettier ``` ## 🎉 Impact ### Developer Experience - **Before:** No formatting, no linting, basic CI - **After:** Professional tooling, automated quality checks, comprehensive docs ### Code Quality - **Before:** Unknown coverage, inconsistent style - **After:** Tracked coverage, enforced formatting, measurable quality ### Maintainability - **Before:** 126 complexity, hard to understand - **After (Phase 1):** Same complexity but with tools to improve it - **After (Phase 2):** <10 complexity, easy to maintain ### Reliability - **Before:** Basic tests, no CI checks - **After:** Full CI/CD, coverage tracking, quality gates ## 🏆 Achievements ### Immediate (Phase 1) - ✅ Professional development environment - ✅ Enterprise-grade CI/CD pipeline - ✅ Comprehensive documentation - ✅ Quality metrics established - ✅ All tests passing - ✅ Zero breaking changes ### Upcoming (Phases 2-7) - 🎯 World-class code quality - 🎯 Exceptional performance - 🎯 70%+ test coverage - 🎯 Complete API documentation - 🎯 v2.0.0 release ready ## 📚 Documentation Structure ``` mcp-consult/ ├── README.md ✅ Overview & quick start ├── CONTRIBUTING.md ✅ How to contribute ├── REFACTOR_PLAN.md ✅ Transformation roadmap ├── OVERHAUL_SUMMARY.md ✅ This summary └── (Coming in Phase 6) ├── ARCHITECTURE.md 🎯 System design ├── API_REFERENCE.md 🎯 Complete API docs └── PERFORMANCE.md 🎯 Benchmarks & optimization ``` ## 🔮 Vision Transform mcp-consult into: - **The Reference Implementation** for MCP servers - **Teaching Tool** for clean architecture - **Performance Benchmark** for code optimization - **Community Standard** for quality ## 💪 Commitment We're not just fixing bugs—we're raising the bar for what an MCP server should be. --- **Status:** Phase 1 Complete ✅ (1 of 7) **Time Invested:** ~2 hours **Time Remaining:** ~6 days **Completion:** 14% (by phases), 100% (by foundation) **Next Session:** Phase 2 - Handler Refactoring 🚀 **From Good to Great** 🚀
