# Daniel LightRAG MCP Server - Implementation Log
## Project Overview
- **Project Name**: daniel-lightrag-mcp

19. **`get_track_status`** - Get track status by ID (`GET /documents/track_status/{track_id}`) ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED
20. **`get_document_status_counts`** - Get document status counts (`GET /documents/status_counts`) ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED
21. **`clear_cache`** - Clear system cache (`POST /documents/clear_cache`) ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED
22. **`get_health`** - Check server health (`GET /health`) ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED
## What Was Actually Implemented
Instead of the required 22 tools, only **8 tools** were implemented, and they don't match the API specification:
### Actually Implemented (8 tools - WRONG API):
1. **insert_text** - Uses wrong endpoint (should be `/documents/text` not `/insert`)
2. **insert_file** - Uses wrong endpoint (should be `/documents/upload` not `/insert_file`)
3. **query** - Uses wrong endpoint (should be `/query` not `/query` with mode parameter)
4. **query_stream** - Uses wrong endpoint structure
5. **query_global** - Not in original requirements (should be part of `/query` with mode)
6. **query_global_stream** - Not in original requirements
7. **query_local** - Not in original requirements (should be part of `/query` with mode)
8. **query_local_stream** - Not in original requirements
## Implementation Timeline
### Phase 1: Project Setup ✅
- Created project directory structure
- Set up Python package with proper structure under `src/daniel_lightrag_mcp/`
- Created `pyproject.toml` with all necessary dependencies and configuration
- Added development dependencies for testing and code quality
### Phase 2: Core Implementation ❌ INCOMPLETE
- **server.py**: Implemented but with wrong API endpoints and missing 14 tools
- **client.py**: HTTP client created but doesn't cover all required endpoints
- **cli.py**: Command-line interface for running the server
- **__init__.py**: Package initialization
- **__main__.py**: Module entry point for `python -m daniel_lightrag_mcp`
- **models.py**: ❌ NOT CREATED (required for Pydantic models)
### Phase 3: Tools Implementation ❌ MAJOR GAPS
- **Completion Rate**: 8/22 tools (36% complete)
- **API Compliance**: ❌ Wrong endpoints used
- **Missing Categories**:
- Document Management: 0/8 tools implemented correctly
- Knowledge Graph: 0/8 tools implemented
- System Management: 0/4 tools implemented
- Query Tools: Partially implemented but wrong API structure
### Phase 4: Testing & Validation ❌ INCOMPLETE
- **test_mcp.py**: Tests only the 8 incorrectly implemented tools
- **test_server.py**: Basic server tests only
- **Missing**: Tests for the 14 unimplemented tools
- **API Validation**: No validation against actual LightRAG API specification
### Phase 5: Documentation ❌ INACCURATE
- **README.md**: Documents wrong implementation
- **CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md**: Based on incomplete implementation
- **implementation_plan.md**: Original plan exists but not followed
- **implementation_log.md**: Previously contained false completion claims

## Critical Issues Identified
### 1. Wrong API Endpoints Used
- Current implementation uses endpoints like `/insert`, `/insert_file`, `/query`
- Should use LightRAG API endpoints like `/documents/text`, `/documents/upload`, `/query`
- No validation against actual LightRAG API specification
### 2. Missing Core Functionality
- **Document Management**: 0/8 tools implemented correctly
- **Knowledge Graph Operations**: 0/8 tools implemented
- **System Management**: 0/4 tools implemented
- **Pydantic Models**: Missing `models.py` file entirely
### 3. Incomplete Testing
- Tests only cover the 8 incorrectly implemented tools
- No integration testing with actual LightRAG server
- No validation of API compliance
### 4. Documentation Issues
- README documents wrong implementation
- Configuration guide based on incomplete server
- No mention of the 14 missing tools
## Next Steps Required for Completion
### Immediate Actions Needed:
1. **Create `models.py`** - Implement Pydantic models for all API requests/responses
2. **Fix `client.py`** - Add all 22 required API endpoints with correct URLs
3. **Rewrite `server.py`** - Implement all 22 MCP tools with correct API calls
4. **Update tests** - Create comprehensive tests for all 22 tools
5. **Fix documentation** - Update README and guides to reflect correct implementation
### Required Work Estimate:
- **Document Management Tools**: 8 tools to implement
- **Knowledge Graph Tools**: 8 tools to implement
- **System Management Tools**: 4 tools to implement
- **Query Tools**: 2 tools to fix (currently wrong API)
- **Models**: Complete Pydantic model definitions
- **Testing**: Comprehensive test suite for all tools
- **Documentation**: Complete rewrite of user-facing docs
## Project Status: INCOMPLETE ❌
**Completion Rate**: 36% (8/22 tools, but with wrong API implementation)
**Estimated Remaining Work**: 60-70% of original scope
**Critical Issues**: Wrong API endpoints, missing core functionality, inaccurate documentation
