Readwise MCP Server

This document outlines the steps needed to complete the Readwise Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation, addressing current issues and ensuring a fully functional integration that follows MCP best practices. ## Current State Analysis The codebase already has several key components implemented: 1. **API Client**: Basic Readwise API client with error handling 2. **Type Definitions**: Core type definitions for MCP operations 3. **Server Structure**: Basic MCP server structure with stdio and SSE transport 4. **Utils**: Logger, SSE server, configuration, and validation utilities 5. **Base Classes**: Base tool and prompt classes 6. **Tool Implementations**: Initial implementations of all required tools 7. **Prompt Implementations**: Initial implementations of required prompts 8. **Main Entry Point**: CLI implementation with argument parsing **Current Status:** - ✅ Fixed missing Logger module error - ✅ Implemented transport-aware logging system - ✅ Updated Base Prompt implementation to match BaseMCPTool pattern - ✅ Verified ReadwiseAPI class implementation - ✅ Completed core tools implementation ## Tasks for Tomorrow ### Phase 1: Complete Core Functionality 1. **Finish MCP Prompts Implementation** - Complete ReadwiseHighlightPrompt implementation - Complete ReadwiseSearchPrompt implementation - Ensure proper error handling in prompt implementations - Add detailed JSDoc comments 2. **Complete Server Implementation** - Finish tool and prompt registration - Implement proper error handling for server responses - Ensure correct handling of transport modes - Add health check endpoint 3. **Finalize Setup Wizard** - Test API key storage and retrieval - Verify wizard flow with and without existing configuration - Add secure storage mechanisms 4. **Implement Protocol Compliance Checks** - Add validation for MCP message format - Ensure correct handling of JSON-RPC style communication - Add error handling for malformed messages ### Phase 2: Streamlined Testing Approach Our testing will focus on essential validation methods rather than comprehensive test coverage: 1. **MCP Inspector Testing** - Set up the MCP Inspector tool - Create a run-inspector.ts script as outlined - Verify that all tools and prompts are accessible via the Inspector - Test basic functionality through the Inspector 2. **Manual Transport Testing** - Test stdio transport with command-line interface - Test SSE transport with HTTP server - Verify basic error handling in both transport modes 3. **Configuration Testing** - Test the setup wizard functionality - Verify API key storage and retrieval - Test with and without existing configuration 4. **Representative Tool Test** - Create a basic test for GetHighlightsTool as an example - Focus on happy path and basic error handling - Test API client basic functionality ## Phase 3: Documentation and Deployment If time permits, focus on these areas: 1. **Update README** - Document installation methods - Detail command-line options - Provide usage examples - Document environment variables 2. **Simple Build Setup** - Verify TypeScript compilation - Ensure proper output structure in dist/ directory - Update package.json scripts ## Implementation Timeline For tomorrow, we will focus on: 1. Completing Phase 1 (Core Functionality): 4-5 hours 2. Essential testing from Phase 2: 2-3 hours 3. Basic documentation if time permits: 1 hour ## Next Steps After tomorrow's implementation: 1. Test with actual Claude or other MCP-compatible assistants 2. Identify any remaining issues from real-world testing 3. Plan for any necessary refinements 4. Consider publishing to npm once stable
