# Theneo MCP Server - Project Summary
**Status**: ✅ Complete and Production Ready
## What Was Built
A complete, production-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Theneo's SDK functionality to any AI assistant. This enables AI-powered automation for API documentation workflows.
### Project Overview
- **Name**: theneo-mcp
- **Version**: 0.1.0
- **License**: MIT
- **Node Version**: >=18.0.0
- **TypeScript**: Strict mode enabled
- **Build Status**: ✅ Passing
- **Lint Status**: ✅ Passing
- **Type Check**: ✅ Passing
## Architecture
### Core Components
1. **MCP Server** (`src/server.ts`)
- 6 MCP tools exposing Theneo SDK operations
- Comprehensive error handling
- Progress logging for long operations
- Type-safe request/response handling
2. **Configuration System** (`src/config.ts`, `src/loadConfig.ts`)
- Multi-source configuration with clear precedence
- Zod schema validation
- Support for 6 config sources (CLI, env, RC files, user config, keychain, .env)
- Profile-based configuration for multi-environment setups
3. **Credential Management** (`src/credentials.ts`)
- OS keychain integration for secure key storage
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
- CLI commands for key management
4. **CLI Interface** (`src/cli.ts`)
- Server command to start MCP server
- Credential management subcommands
- Helpful usage information
5. **Logging Utility** (`src/utils/logger.ts`)
- Structured JSON logging to stderr
- Automatic secret masking
- MCP protocol compliance (stdout reserved)
### Available MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Key Features |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `theneo_list_workspaces` | List accessible workspaces | Simple authentication check |
| `theneo_create_project` | Create new documentation project | File/URL/text/Postman import, AI generation |
| `theneo_import_project_document` | Update existing project | Merge/overwrite/endpoints-only modes |
| `theneo_publish_project` | Publish project | Returns published URL |
| `theneo_preview_link` | Get editor preview URL | Direct access to editor |
| `theneo_wait_for_generation` | Wait for AI completion | Configurable timeout and polling |
## Security Features
### ✅ Implemented
- **OS Keychain Integration**: Secure credential storage at rest
- **Secret Masking**: All API keys/tokens automatically redacted in logs
- **Multi-Source Config**: Flexible authentication without hardcoding
- **No Secrets in Git**: Comprehensive `.gitignore` and `.npmignore`
- **Environment Isolation**: Profile support for dev/staging/prod
- **12-Factor Compliant**: Environment-based configuration for CI/CD
### 🔐 Best Practices Documented
- Never commit API keys
- Use keychain for local development
- Use environment variables in CI/CD
- Rotate keys regularly
- Least privilege access
## Configuration Precedence
```
1. CLI Flags (--apiKey, --profile) [Highest]
2. Environment Variables (THENEO_API_KEY)
3. Project RC File (.theneo-mcp.yaml)
4. User Config (~/.config/theneo-mcp/)
5. OS Keychain
6. .env File (dev only) [Lowest]
```
