## π **Current Issues Analysis**
### π‘ **Build Issues (In Progress)**
- **Import Path Conflicts**: After service migration, some imports need updating
- **TypeScript Errors**: Minor type mismatches from service integration
- **Dependency Resolution**: Client-side services trying to import server-side modules
### π’ **Successfully Resolved**
- β
Memory tools integration
- β
AI services migration
- β
Advanced Gemini proxy enhancement
- β
Rate limiting and intelligent model selection
- β
Comprehensive error handling
## π **Performance & Reliability Features**
### π **Intelligent Model Selection**
```typescript
// Example: Automatic model selection based on task complexity
const response = await mcpServer.makeIntelligentRequest({
type: 'text',
complexity: 'medium',
priority: 'high',
requiresStructuredOutput: true
}, prompt);
// β Automatically selects gemini-2.5-flash for structured parsing
```
### β‘ **Rate Limiting & Usage Tracking**
- **Per-model rate limits**: Respects API quotas (RPM/TPM)
- **Intelligent queuing**: Automatically waits and retries
- **Usage analytics**: Tracks tokens, requests, performance
- **Fallback models**: Downgrades to simpler models on failure
### π **Reliability Patterns**
- **Circuit breaker**: Fails fast on repeated errors
- **Exponential backoff**: Progressive retry delays
- **Health monitoring**: Continuous service health checks
- **Graceful degradation**: Fallback to cached/simplified responses
## π― **Recommended Next Steps**
### 1. **Fix Build Issues** (Priority: High)
```bash
# Check current build status
cd /workspaces/Charnoksv3/mcp-server
npm run build
# Update import paths that reference migrated services
# Ensure client-side services don't import server modules
```
### 2. **Update Client Services** (Priority: Medium)
- Update `geminiAPIManager` usage to route through `mcpClient`
- Ensure all AI operations use MCP server for consistency
- Verify offline/online fallback behavior
### 3. **Production Deployment** (Priority: High)
- Deploy MCP server to production environment
- Configure environment variables for all environments
- Test end-to-end integration with PWA

### π‘οΈ **Security Measures**
- **API Key Protection**: All Gemini keys secured in MCP server
- **Token Authentication**: Bearer token auth for MCP endpoints
- **Rate Limiting**: Per-IP and per-user request limits
- **Input Validation**: Comprehensive request validation
- **Error Sanitization**: No sensitive data in error responses
