# IDEAS.md - Future Enhancements for Context-Pods MCP Templates ## Template Enhancements ### 1. Auto-generated TypeScript Types from Schemas - Generate TypeScript interfaces from tool input/output schemas automatically - Provide type-safe tool handlers with proper typing - Example: `type WeatherInput = z.infer<typeof weatherSchema>` ### 2. Tool Composition Framework - Allow tools to call other tools internally - Create tool pipelines and workflows - Example: A "analyze-codebase" tool that uses "read-file" and "parse-ast" tools ### 3. Dynamic Tool Registration - Runtime tool discovery and registration - Plugin system for adding tools without rebuilding - Hot-reload support for development ### 4. Tool Testing Utilities - Mock MCP client for testing tools in isolation - Test fixtures for common tool patterns - Performance benchmarking framework for tools ### 5. Resource Caching Layer - Built-in caching for expensive resource operations - ETags and conditional requests support - Memory and disk cache strategies ### 6. Progress Tracking Middleware - Automatic progress reporting for long-running operations - Configurable progress granularity - Progress composition for nested operations ### 7. Error Recovery Patterns - Retry logic with exponential backoff - Circuit breaker pattern for external services - Graceful degradation strategies ### 8. Tool Documentation Generator - Auto-generate markdown docs from tool schemas - Interactive API playground - OpenAPI/Swagger-like documentation ### 9. Security Features - Rate limiting per tool/client - Authentication/authorization middleware - Input sanitization helpers - Audit logging for sensitive operations ### 10. Observability Integration - OpenTelemetry support - Structured logging with correlation IDs - Metrics collection (latency, success rate, etc.) - Distributed tracing for tool calls ### 11. Template Marketplace - Community-contributed templates - Template versioning and updates - Dependency management for templates - Template composition (combining multiple templates) ### 12. AI-Enhanced Development - AI-powered tool suggestion based on description - Automatic test generation from tool schemas - Code review suggestions for MCP compliance ### 13. Cross-Language Support - Template transpilation between languages - Shared schema definitions across language templates - Protocol buffer support for efficient serialization ### 14. Development Tools - VS Code extension for MCP development - Chrome DevTools-like inspector for MCP messages - Performance profiler for MCP servers ### 15. Cloud Integration Templates - AWS Lambda MCP server template - Google Cloud Functions template - Azure Functions template - Vercel/Netlify edge function templates ## Implementation Priority 1. **High Priority**: Tool composition, TypeScript types generation, testing utilities 2. **Medium Priority**: Caching, progress tracking, error recovery 3. **Low Priority**: Marketplace, cloud templates, AI enhancements ## Notes - These ideas emerged while implementing the MCP TypeScript template modernization - Many could be implemented as separate npm packages - Consider community feedback before implementing major features
