## π INSTANT OVERVIEW
- **Project:** mcp-server (FastAPI + MCP Protocol)
- **Repository:** https://github.com/Pritrj/mcp-server.git
- **Status:** β
FULLY WORKING on Railway
- **Database:** Supabase PostgreSQL (IPv4-compatible)
- **Last Fix:** Graceful error handling + Transaction Pooler
---
## π― QUICK REFERENCE
### Database URL (Ready to Use)
```
postgresql://postgres.shcaibujeuinmitesicz:z7E2fmNvW5yVPzAU@aws-1-us-east-1.pooler.supabase.com:6543/postgres
```
### Key Project Info
- **Project ID:** shcaibujeuinmitesicz
- **Password:** z7E2fmNvW5yVPzAU
- **Port:** 6543 (Transaction Pooler)
- **Host:** aws-1-us-east-1.pooler.supabase.com (IPv4)
- **Commit:** 4d8d81b

## π§ WHAT WAS FIXED
### β
Issue #1: Email-Validator Missing
- **Problem:** Dependency not in requirements.txt
- **Solution:** Added email-validator to line 21
- **Status:** DONE - Pushed to GitHub
### β
Issue #2: Railway IPv6 Connection Error
- **Problem:** `psycopg2.OperationalError: Network is unreachable`
- **Cause:** Railway IPv4-only, Supabase IPv6
- **Solution:** Used Supabase Transaction Pooler
- **Status:** DONE - App runs successfully
### β
Issue #3: Database Auth Error
- **Problem:** "Tenant or user not found"
- **Cause:** Wrong username format in pooler URL
- **Solution:** Use `postgres.shcaibujeuinmitesicz` not just `postgres`
- **Status:** DONE - Database connects properly
### β
Issue #4: App Crashes on Startup
- **Problem:** Database failure causing app crash
- **Solution:** Added graceful error handling in src/main.py
- **Code:** Try-catch blocks in lifespan function
- **Status:** DONE - App continues even if database fails
---
## π» CODE CHANGES (Lines 81-101 in src/main.py)
```python
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
# Startup
logger.info("Starting up application...")
# Initialize database connection (optional - continue even if database is unavailable)
try:
Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine)
logger.info("Database initialized")
except Exception as e:
logger.warning(f"Database connection failed, continuing without database: {e}")
logger.warning("Note: Database-dependent features will be unavailable")
# Test Redis connection (optional - continue even if Redis is unavailable)
try:
redis_client.ping()
logger.info("Redis connection established")
except Exception as e:
logger.warning(f"Redis connection failed, continuing without Redis: {e}")
logger.warning("Note: Some features may be limited without Redis")
yield

## π RAILWAY CONFIGURATION
### Environment Variables Needed
```
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres.shcaibujeuinmitesicz:z7E2fmNvW5yVPzAU@aws-1-us-east-1.pooler.supabase.com:6543/postgres
PORT=8080
```
### railway.toml
```toml
[build]
builder = "nixpacks"
buildCommand = "pip install -r requirements.txt"
[deploy]
startCommand = "uvicorn src.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT"
```
---
## π¨ TROUBLESHOOTING QUICK FIX
### If Database Issues
1. **Check Railway logs**
2. **Verify DATABASE_URL format** (Transaction Pooler)
3. **Ensure username is:** `postgres.shcaibujeuinmitesicz`
4. **Test:** curl https://[app-url].railway.app/health
### If App Crashes
1. **Already fixed** with graceful error handling
2. **Check:** Redis connection status
3. **Review:** Railway deployment logs
4. **Verify:** All environment variables set
### If Push Fails
1. Use Python subprocess scripts (not direct bash)
2. Configure git: `git config --global --add safe.directory /workspace`
3. Check network connectivity
