## 6. Architectural Recommendations
### 6.1 OpenAPI Spec Validation
**Issue:** Auto-generated tools may not expose all parameters documented in API guides.
**Recommendation:**
- Cross-reference OpenAPI spec (`openapi_zerion.yaml`) with Zerion's official documentation
- Validate that all filters and parameters are present in spec
- If missing, consider:
- Updating OpenAPI spec file
- Manual tool augmentation for critical parameters
- Submitting spec updates to Zerion
---
### 6.2 Webhook Handling Architecture
**Challenge:** MCP servers typically run in stdio mode for AI assistants; webhooks require HTTP endpoint.
**Recommended Approach:**
**Option A: Separate Webhook Receiver Service**
```
┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
│ MCP Client │◄────────┤ MCP Server │
│ (Claude) │ stdio │ (Zerion) │
└─────────────┘ └──────┬───────┘
│
│ Management API calls
│ (create/update subscriptions)
▼
┌─────────────┐
│ Zerion API │
└──────┬──────┘
│
│ Webhooks (HTTP POST)
▼
┌──────────────┐
│ Webhook │
│ Receiver │
│ (Separate │
│ Service) │
└──────────────┘
```
- MCP server manages subscriptions via API
- Separate HTTP service receives webhook payloads
- Store events in database or queue for MCP client to retrieve
**Option B: Hybrid Mode**
- Add HTTP transport mode to MCP server (already in code!)
- Use HTTP mode for webhook receiver
- Document dual-mode deployment
**Option C: Polling Fallback with Webhook Documentation**
- Document webhook endpoints as "coming soon"
- Provide instructions for external webhook setup
- Allow users to integrate webhooks outside MCP
---
### 6.3 Configuration Enhancements
**Current Config:** Good foundation with YAML + env vars
**Suggested Additions:**
```yaml
# config.yaml
rate_limiting:
max_retries: 3
backoff_factor: 2
respect_retry_after: true
pagination:
default_page_size: 100
max_auto_pages: 10
features:
testnet_mode: false
auto_pagination: false
strict_mode: true # Fail on missing params vs. ignore
```
