Server name: `server-mcp` - Version: `1.0.0` - Capabilities: `tools`, `logging` - Comprehensive instructions for users #### Service Initialization 1. **CommandRunner** - With sudo support (configurable via `SERVER_MCP_ALLOW_SUDO`) 2. **SQLitePlannerService** - Local cache at `SERVER_MCP_SQLITE_PATH` (default: `./mcp_cache.db`) 3. **StructuredThinkingService** - With async markdown bootstrap 4. **PostgresManagerService** - With graceful failure handling 5. **RedisManagerService** - With graceful failure handling 6. **KeycloakManagerService** - With graceful failure handling 7. **ServerAdminService** - Ubuntu server administration 8. **DatabaseDiagnosticsService** - Local diagnostics 9. **NginxMonitoringService** - NGINX monitoring 10. **SystemMetricsService** - System metrics #### Transport & Lifecycle - **Stdio Transport**: Standard MCP stdio communication - **Graceful Shutdown**: SIGINT and SIGTERM handlers - **Error Handling**: Fatal error logging and exit #### Graceful Degradation Services that require external connections (PostgreSQL, Redis, Keycloak) initialize with try/catch blocks. If initialization fails: - Warning logged - Service instance created (will throw on first use) - Server continues initialization - Other services remain available This allows SERVER-MCP to start even if some services are unavailable (e.g., Keycloak not configured). --- ## Tool Registration Implementation **File**: `src/tools/registerTools.ts` (778 lines) ### Architecture #### Helper Functions (from IT-MCP) - `formatCommandResult()` - Convert CommandResult to CommandSummary - `toTextContent()` - Format sections as Markdown text - `handleError()` - Standardized error response with dual content format #### Tool Registration Pattern Each tool follows this pattern: 1. **Zod Schema Validation** - Type-safe parameter validation 2. **Service Invocation** - Call appropriate service method 3. **Dual Content Format** - Both `text` and `structuredContent` responses 4. **Error Handling** - Catch and format errors consistently **Example Pattern**: ```typescript server.registerTool( "tool-name", { description: "Clear description of what this tool does", inputSchema: { param1: z.string(), param2: z.number().optional(), } }, async ({ param1, param2 }) => { try { const result = await deps.service.method(param1, param2); // Format text output const sections: Record<string, string> = { "Section 1": "value", "Section 2": "value", }; return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: toTextContent("Tool Name", sections), }], structuredContent: { param1, param2, result, }, }; } catch (error) { return handleError(error); } } ); ``` ### Simplifications from IT-MCP **Removed**: - ❌ Remote execution routing (`ExecutionRouter`) - ❌ Remote agent dispatch (`RemoteAgentService`) - ❌ SSH parameters (`host`, `username`, `port`, etc.) - ❌ Mode selection (`local` vs `remote`) - ❌ Reporting hub integration (deferred) **Kept**: - ✅ Dual content format (text + structuredContent) - ✅ Standardized error handling - ✅ Zod schema validation - ✅ Winston logging --- ## Build & Compilation ### Build Command ```bash npm run build ``` **Result**: ✅ **Build successful** (0 errors, 0 warnings) ### Compiled Output ``` dist/ ├── index.js (6.5KB) ├── index.js.map ├── services/ (7 files) │ ├── databaseDiagnostics.js │ ├── keycloakManager.js │ ├── nginxMonitoring.js │ ├── postgresManager.js │ ├── redisManager.js │ ├── serverAdmin.js │ ├── sqlitePlanner.js │ ├── structuredThinking.js │ └── systemMetrics.js ├── tools/ │ └── registerTools.js └── utils/ (2 files) ├── commandRunner.js └── logger.js ``` **Total Compiled Files**: 13 JavaScript files + source maps --- ## Environment Variables ### Required for Full Functionality ```bash # PostgreSQL POSTGRES_HOST=localhost POSTGRES_PORT=5432 POSTGRES_USER=postgres POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password POSTGRES_DB=postgres # Redis REDIS_HOST=localhost REDIS_PORT=6379 REDIS_PASSWORD= # Keycloak (optional - only if using keycloak-manage tool) KEYCLOAK_BASE_URL=https://acdev.host:8080 KEYCLOAK_REALM=mcp-agents KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID=server-mcp-agent KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret ``` ### Optional Configuration ```bash # Server settings SERVER_MCP_ALLOW_SUDO=true SERVER_MCP_LOG_LEVEL=info SERVER_MCP_SQLITE_PATH=./mcp_cache.db # NGINX paths NGINX_ACCESS_LOG=/var/log/nginx/access.log NGINX_ERROR_LOG=/var/log/nginx/error.log NGINX_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf ``` --- ## Testing (Manual) ### 1. Server Starts Successfully ```bash npm run dev # Should log: "SERVER-MCP server running on stdio" ``` ### 2. Tool Discovery MCP clients can discover all 6 tools via the tools/list endpoint. ### 3. Tool Invocation Each tool can be invoked with valid parameters via stdio. **Example** (via MCP client): ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "database-diagnostics", "arguments": { "suites": ["postgres", "redis"] } } } ``` --- ## Next Steps (Phase 4) ### Integration with IT-MCP **Goal**: Register SERVER-MCP as distributed agent **Tasks**: 1. Copy `AutoDiscoveryService` from IT-MCP 2. Copy `KeycloakAuthService` from IT-MCP (JWT authentication) 3. Copy `CommandQueueService` from IT-MCP (job processing) 4. Copy `DatabaseSyncService` from IT-MCP (SQLite ↔ PostgreSQL sync) 5. Implement agent registration on startup 6. Implement command queue consumer 7. Implement heartbeat to Redis (every 30s) 8. Implement structured thoughts sync **Estimated Timeline**: Week 5 --- ## Success Metrics (Phase 3) - [x] All 6 MCP tools registered with Zod schemas - [x] Main server entry point created (`src/index.ts`) - [x] Tool registration file created (`src/tools/registerTools.ts`) - [x] Build succeeds with no errors: `npm run build` ✅ - [x] Server can start (tested via `npm run dev`) - [x] All services initialize successfully (with graceful degradation) - [x] Dual content format (text + structuredContent) for all tools - [x] Standardized error handling across all tools --- ## File Summary ### Created in Phase 3 1. **src/tools/registerTools.ts** (778 lines) - Tool registration with Zod schemas - Dual content format responses - Standardized error handling - Helper functions for formatting 2. **src/index.ts** (144 lines) - MCP server initialization - Service dependency injection - Stdio transport setup - Graceful shutdown handlers ### Total Project Files - **Services**: 9 files (3,590 lines) - **Utils**: 2 files - **Tools**: 1 file (778 lines) - **Entry Point**: 1 file (144 lines) - **Documentation**: 5 files (README, Implementation Status, Getting Started, Phase 2 Summary, Phase 3 Summary) **Total Source Code**: ~4,500+ lines of TypeScript --- ## Architecture Highlights ### 1. Local-Only Execution - All tools execute locally via `CommandRunner` - No SSH or remote execution overhead - Direct database client connections (pg, ioredis, Keycloak Admin API) ### 2. Graceful Degradation - Optional services (Keycloak) can fail to initialize without breaking server - Warnings logged for unavailable services - Core functionality remains available ### 3. Type Safety - Full TypeScript strict mode - Zod runtime validation for all tool parameters - Strongly-typed service interfaces ### 4. MCP Protocol Compliance - Stdio transport (standard MCP) - Dual content format (text + structured) - Proper error responses - Capability advertisement ### 5. Production-Ready Features - Winston structured logging - Environment variable configuration - Graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM - SQLite local cache for offline resilience --- ## Notes ### Tool Count Phase 3 delivered **6 MCP tools** (not 7 as initially planned). The 7th service (`server-admin`) is registered as part of the `ServerAdminService` but not exposed as a standalone tool yet. This can be added in a future phase if needed. **Current Tools**: 1. database-diagnostics 2. postgres-manage 3. redis-manage 4. keycloak-manage 5. nginx-monitor 6. system-metrics **Deferred**: - `server-admin` tool (ServerAdminService exists but not exposed) - `automated-maintenance` tool (Phase 6) ### Integration Ready SERVER-MCP is now ready for Phase 4 integration with IT-MCP's distributed architecture: - Tool registration complete - Service layer operational - Stdio transport functional - Error handling standardized --- **Phase 3 Complete!** 🎉 Ready to proceed with **Phase 4: Integration with IT-MCP** for distributed agent coordination.
