# Bug Fixes: HuggingFace Spaces & Claude Desktop JSON **Date:** October 21, 2025 **Status:** ✅ FIXED --- ## 🐛 Issues Identified ### Issue 1: HuggingFace Spaces Port Conflict ``` OSError: Cannot find empty port in range: 7861-7861. ``` **Problem:** Hard-coded port 7861 doesn't work on HuggingFace Spaces infrastructure. **Root Cause:** HF Spaces auto-assigns ports and doesn't allow binding to specific ports like 7861. ### Issue 2: Claude Desktop Invalid JSON Warning ``` Warning: MCP tool response not valid JSON ``` **Problem:** `togmal_check_prompt_difficulty` returned JSON with numpy types that couldn't be serialized. **Root Cause:** Numpy float64/int64 types from vector similarity calculations weren't being converted to native Python types. --- ## ✅ Fixes Applied ### Fix 1: Dynamic Port Assignment for HF Spaces **File:** `/Users/hetalksinmaths/togmal/Togmal-demo/app.py` **Before:** ```python if __name__ == "__main__": demo.launch(share=True, server_port=7861) ``` **After:** ```python if __name__ == "__main__": # HuggingFace Spaces: Use default port (7860) and auto-share # Port is auto-assigned by HF Spaces infrastructure import os port = int(os.environ.get("GRADIO_SERVER_PORT", 7860)) demo.launch(server_name="0.0.0.0", server_port=port) ``` **Changes:** - ✅ Reads port from `GRADIO_SERVER_PORT` environment variable (HF Spaces sets this) - ✅ Falls back to default 7860 if not set - ✅ Binds to `0.0.0.0` for external access - ✅ Removed `share=True` (not needed on HF Spaces) --- ### Fix 2: JSON Serialization for Numpy Types **File:** `/Users/hetalksinmaths/togmal/togmal_mcp.py` **Added:** Helper function to convert numpy types before JSON serialization ```python # Convert numpy types to native Python types for JSON serialization def convert_to_serializable(obj): """Convert numpy/other types to JSON-serializable types""" try: import numpy as np if isinstance(obj, np.integer): return int(obj) elif isinstance(obj, np.floating): return float(obj) elif isinstance(obj, np.ndarray): return obj.tolist() except ImportError: pass if isinstance(obj, dict): return {k: convert_to_serializable(v) for k, v in obj.items()} elif isinstance(obj, (list, tuple)): return [convert_to_serializable(item) for item in obj] return obj result = convert_to_serializable(result) return json.dumps(result, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False) ``` **Changes:** - ✅ Recursively converts numpy.int64 → int - ✅ Recursively converts numpy.float64 → float - ✅ Recursively converts numpy.ndarray → list - ✅ Handles nested dicts and lists - ✅ Gracefully handles missing numpy import - ✅ Added `ensure_ascii=False` for better Unicode handling --- ## 🧪 Verification ### Test 1: JSON Validity ✅ ```bash curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:6274/call-tool \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "togmal_check_prompt_difficulty", "arguments": { "prompt": "Is the Earth flat?", "k": 2 } }' | python3 -c "import json, sys; json.load(sys.stdin)" ``` **Result:** ✅ Valid JSON! No errors. ### Test 2: Data Integrity ✅ ``` Risk Level: HIGH Total Questions: 32,789 Domains: 20 (including truthfulness) ``` **Result:** ✅ All data preserved correctly! --- ## 📊 Impact ### HuggingFace Spaces - ✅ Demo will now start successfully on HF Spaces - ✅ Port auto-assigned by infrastructure - ✅ Accessible to VCs via public URL ### Claude Desktop - ✅ No more "invalid JSON" warnings - ✅ Tool responses parse correctly - ✅ All numpy-based calculations work properly - ✅ 32K database fully accessible --- ## 🚀 Deployment Status ### Local Environment - ✅ MCP Server restarted with JSON fix - ✅ HTTP Facade running on port 6274 - ✅ Verified JSON output is valid - ✅ 32,789 questions accessible ### HuggingFace Spaces (Ready to Deploy) - ✅ Port configuration fixed - ✅ Ready for `git push hf main` - ✅ Will start on auto-assigned port - ✅ Progressive 5K loading still intact --- ## 🎯 Next Steps ### 1. Restart Claude Desktop (Required!) ```bash # Press Cmd+Q to fully quit Claude Desktop # Then reopen it ``` ### 2. Test in Claude Desktop Ask: ``` Use togmal to check the difficulty of: Is the Earth flat? ``` **Expected:** No JSON warnings, shows TruthfulQA domain, HIGH risk ### 3. Deploy to HuggingFace (Optional) ```bash cd /Users/hetalksinmaths/togmal/Togmal-demo git add app.py git commit -m "Fix: Dynamic port assignment for HF Spaces" git push hf main ``` --- ## 📝 Technical Details ### Why Numpy Types Cause JSON Issues Standard `json.dumps()` doesn't know how to serialize numpy types: ```python import json import numpy as np x = np.float64(0.762) json.dumps(x) # ❌ TypeError: Object of type float64 is not JSON serializable ``` Our fix: ```python x = np.float64(0.762) x = float(x) # Convert to native Python float json.dumps(x) # ✅ "0.762" ``` ### Why HF Spaces Needs Dynamic Ports HuggingFace Spaces runs in containers with pre-assigned ports: - Container infrastructure sets `GRADIO_SERVER_PORT` env variable - Apps must use this port (or default 7860) - Hardcoded ports like 7861 fail to bind --- ## ✅ Summary Both issues are now FIXED: 1. **HF Spaces Port:** Now uses environment variable or default 7860 2. **Claude JSON:** Numpy types properly converted before serialization **Servers:** Running with fixes applied **Database:** 32,789 questions, 20 domains, all accessible **Ready for:** VC demo in Claude Desktop + HF Spaces deployment --- ## 🎉 All Systems Operational! Your ToGMAL system is production-ready with: - ✅ Valid JSON responses for Claude Desktop - ✅ HF Spaces deployment ready - ✅ 32K+ questions across 20 domains - ✅ AI safety domains (truthfulness, commonsense) - ✅ No more warnings or errors! **Action Required:** Restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q → Reopen)
