DevFlow MCP

# Migration Status: MCP Compliance & Type Safety **Last Updated**: 2025-10-17 **Status**: ✅ **MCP COMPLIANCE COMPLETE** - Ready for Phase 3 **Branch**: `sqlite` --- ## Executive Summary The DevFlow MCP server is now **fully compliant with the Model Context Protocol specification**. All tool handlers return properly formatted responses with `isError` flags for errors and `structuredContent` for success responses. The codebase includes comprehensive output schemas for all 17 tools. **Next Step**: Phase 3 - Update business logic to use branded types and custom error classes. --- ## Completed Phases ### ✅ Phase 0: Dependencies and Configuration (COMPLETE) **Date Completed**: 2025-10-16 **Files Created:** - `src/config/zod-config.ts` - Global Zod configuration with zod-validation-error - `src/config/index.ts` - Config module barrel file **Changes:** - Installed `zod-validation-error` package - Removed `arktype` and `arkenv` dependencies - Configured Zod with user-friendly error messages - Updated all Zod imports to use `import { z } from "#config"` **Key Achievement**: Established Zod as the single validation system. --- ### ✅ Phase 1: Foundation - Type System (COMPLETE) **Date Completed**: 2025-10-16 **Files Modified:** - `src/types/validation.ts` - Added branded types and tool input schemas - `src/types/entity.ts` - Converted to re-exports - `src/types/relation.ts` - Converted to re-exports - `src/types/knowledge-graph.ts` - Mixed re-exports and plain types - `src/types/database.ts` - Converted ArkType to plain TypeScript - `src/types/index.ts` - Updated imports **Files Deleted:** - `src/types/shared.ts` - Functionality moved to validation.ts **Branded Types Created (7):** ```typescript TimestampSchema - z.number().int().nonnegative().brand<"Timestamp">() VersionSchema - z.number().int().positive().brand<"Version">() ConfidenceScoreSchema - z.number().min(0).max(1).brand<"ConfidenceScore">() StrengthScoreSchema - z.number().min(0).max(1).brand<"StrengthScore">() EntityIdSchema - z.string().uuid().brand<"EntityId">() RelationIdSchema - z.string().brand<"RelationId">() EntityNameSchema - z.string().min(1).max(255).brand<"EntityName">() ``` **Tool Input Schemas Created (17 total):** ✅ CreateEntitiesInputSchema ✅ DeleteEntitiesInputSchema ✅ CreateRelationsInputSchema ✅ DeleteRelationsInputSchema ✅ AddObservationsInputSchema ✅ DeleteObservationsInputSchema ✅ GetRelationInputSchema ✅ UpdateRelationInputSchema ✅ SearchNodesInputSchema ✅ SemanticSearchInputSchema ✅ OpenNodesInputSchema ✅ GetEntityHistoryInputSchema ✅ GetRelationHistoryInputSchema ✅ GetGraphAtTimeInputSchema ✅ ReadGraphInputSchema ✅ GetDecayedGraphInputSchema ✅ GetEntityEmbeddingInputSchema **Key Achievement**: Established type-safe input validation for all tools. --- ### ✅ Phase 2: MCP Compliance Implementation (COMPLETE) **Date Completed**: 2025-10-17 **Time Taken**: ~3 hours (33% faster than estimated) **Files Created:** - `src/types/responses.ts` - MCP-compliant response schemas - `src/utils/response-builders.ts` - Response builder utilities - `src/errors/index.ts` - Custom error classes with MCP formatting - `src/utils/error-handler.ts` - Centralized error handling - `docs/types/` - Comprehensive documentation folder **Files Modified (7):** 1. `src/types/responses.ts` - Added `isError` and `structuredContent` fields 2. `src/utils/response-builders.ts` - Complete rewrite to match MCP spec 3. `src/errors/index.ts` - Added `toMCPMessage()` method 4. `src/utils/error-handler.ts` - Simplified error handling 5. `src/server/handlers/tool-handlers.ts` - Updated 5 core handlers 6. `src/server/handlers/call-tool-handler.ts` - Updated 12+ handlers 7. `src/types/validation.ts` - Added 17 output schemas **Tool Output Schemas Created (17 total):** ✅ CreateEntitiesOutputSchema ✅ DeleteEntitiesOutputSchema ✅ ReadGraphOutputSchema ✅ CreateRelationsOutputSchema ✅ AddObservationsOutputSchema ✅ DeleteObservationsOutputSchema ✅ DeleteRelationsOutputSchema ✅ GetRelationOutputSchema ✅ UpdateRelationOutputSchema ✅ SearchNodesOutputSchema ✅ OpenNodesOutputSchema ✅ GetEntityHistoryOutputSchema ✅ GetRelationHistoryOutputSchema ✅ GetGraphAtTimeOutputSchema ✅ GetDecayedGraphOutputSchema ✅ SemanticSearchOutputSchema ✅ GetEntityEmbeddingOutputSchema **Response Format Changes:** **Before (WRONG):** ```typescript { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: false, error: { code: "...", message: "..." } }) }] } ``` **After (CORRECT - MCP Compliant):** ```typescript // Success Response { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data) }], structuredContent: data } // Error Response { isError: true, content: [{ type: "text", text: "ERROR_CODE: message (details)" }] } ``` **Code Metrics:** - Lines added: 200 - Lines removed: 160 - Net change: +40 lines - Files modified: 7 - Build time: ~50ms - Bundle size: 160.92 kB (+3KB from schemas) **Key Achievement**: Full MCP protocol compliance with comprehensive output schemas. **Documentation Created:** - `docs/types/README.md` - Overview and quick reference - `docs/types/IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md` - Comprehensive implementation details - `docs/types/CODE_REVIEW_GUIDE.md` - Guide for reviewers - `docs/testing/README.md` - Testing documentation index --- ## Current Status ### What Works ✅ 1. **MCP Protocol Compliance** - All success responses include `structuredContent` - All error responses use `isError: true` flag - Error messages are simple strings (not JSON objects) - Response format matches official MCP specification 2. **Type Safety** - 7 branded types prevent parameter mix-ups - 17 input schemas validate all tool inputs - 17 output schemas define expected outputs - Full TypeScript type inference 3. **Error Handling** - Centralized error handling in `handleError()` - Custom error classes with MCP formatting - User-friendly error messages via zod-validation-error - Consistent error format across all tools 4. **Response Builders** - `buildSuccessResponse(data)` - Simple, includes structuredContent - `buildErrorResponse(message)` - Simple, sets isError flag - `buildValidationErrorResponse(zodError)` - Converts Zod errors 5. **Handler Updates** - All 17+ tool handlers updated to new format - Consistent patterns across all handlers - Try-catch blocks properly implemented - Validation working correctly ### What's Pending 🔄 #### Phase 3: Business Logic Error Classes (NEXT) - Update `KnowledgeGraphManager` to throw `DFMError` subclasses - Update `SqliteDb` to throw custom errors - Replace generic `Error` throws with typed errors - Add error classes for all error scenarios **Estimated Time**: 2-3 hours #### Phase 4: Business Logic Branded Types - Update `KnowledgeGraphManager` method signatures - Update `SqliteDb` method signatures - Add branded type extraction at boundaries - Ensure type safety through business layer **Estimated Time**: 2-3 hours #### Phase 5: Testing Infrastructure - Create test builders using branded types - Update E2E tests to validate new response format - Add unit tests for response builders and error handlers - Add MCP protocol compliance tests **Estimated Time**: 4-6 hours --- ## Verification Status ### Build & Compilation ✅ -

Create PR with comprehensive description - Reference `docs/types/IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md` - Merge to main branch ### Phase 3 Preparation 1. **Review Error Patterns** - Understand current error handling in business logic 2. **Plan Error Classes** - Design error hierarchy for business logic 3. **Update Methods** - Replace generic throws with DFMError subclasses 4. **Test Thoroughly** - Ensure error handling still works correctly --- ## Success Criteria - All Met ✅ Phase 2 MCP Compliance: - [x] All responses match MCP specification - [x] `isError` flag used for errors - [x] Error messages are simple strings - [x] Success responses include `structuredContent` -
