MCP Tools

# MCP Tools - Purpose and Architecture ## Purpose MCP Tools provides a comprehensive suite of development workflow automation and analytics capabilities through a modular, container-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server architecture. ## Vision Create a scalable, composable MCP ecosystem that separates development workflow tools from analytics/reporting capabilities while maintaining shared infrastructure and deployment flexibility. ## Architecture Overview ### Multi-MCP Server Design MCP Tools implements a **split-domain architecture** with three specialized MCP servers: ``` 🎯 Coordinator (Port 8002) ├── Orchestrates and mounts other servers ├── Main entry point for complete functionality └── Uses FastMCP composition patterns 🔧 Tools Server (Port 8003) 📊 Reports Server (Port 8004) ├── Development workflow automation ├── Team analytics and metrics ├── PR health analysis ├── Quarterly performance reports ├── Code quality reviews ├── Quarter-over-quarter analysis ├── JIRA workflow transitions ├── Personal performance tracking ├── Enhanced code review (role-based) ├── Epic status reporting └── System utilities └── Trend analysis with insights ``` ### Domain Separation | Domain | Focus | Tools | Audience | |--------|-------|-------|----------| | **Tools** | Development Workflow | PR analysis, code review, JIRA automation | Developers, DevOps | | **Reports** | Analytics & Metrics | Team performance, trends, epic tracking | Managers, Team Leads | | **Coordinator** | Composition & Orchestration | Mounts tools + reports servers | All users | ### Container-First Philosophy - **Scalable**: Each server can scale independently based on demand - **Modular**: Run individual servers or composed stack - **Development Friendly**: Hot reload and isolated development environments - **Production Ready**: Health checks, resource limits, restart policies - **Flexible Deployment**: Docker Compose with dev/prod configurations ## Use Cases ### Development Workflow (Tools Server) - **PR Health Analysis**: Comprehensive PR status with thread resolution - **Code Quality Review**: Multi-role reviews (senior engineer, tech lead, security) - **JIRA Automation**: Workflow transitions with intelligent path calculation - **Enhanced Reviews**: Role-based analysis with team/service context ### Team Analytics (Reports Server) - **Quarterly Reports**: Team performance with anonymized metrics - **Trend Analysis**: Multi-quarter patterns and growth tracking - **Personal Metrics**: Individual contributor performance analysis - **Epic Tracking**: Comprehensive epic status with sub-task analysis ### Orchestration (Coordinator) - **Unified Access**: Single entry point for all capabilities - **Composition**: FastMCP mounting with clean prefixes - **Load Balancing**: Distribute load across specialized servers ## Technology Stack - **Framework**: FastMCP (Model Context Protocol) - **Language**: Python 3.11+ - **Dependency Management**: Poetry - **Containerization**: Docker + Docker Compose - **Architecture**: Modular composition with shared common utilities ## Development Status **Current**: Alpha development with active feature development **Target**: Production-ready modular MCP ecosystem for development teams ## Key Benefits 1. **Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns between workflow and analytics 2. **Scalability**: Independent scaling of different tool categories 3. **Flexibility**: Deploy what you need (tools-only, reports-only, or full stack) 4. **Maintainability**: Shared infrastructure with domain-specific implementations 5. **Team Focus**: Tools for developers, reports for managers, unified for leads 6. **Container Native**: Modern deployment patterns with development efficiency ## Future Roadmap - **Enhanced Composition**: Additional specialized servers (notifications, integrations) - **Service Mesh**: Inter-server communication patterns - **Plugin Architecture**: Dynamic tool loading and registration - **Multi-Tenant**: Team-specific configurations and data isolation - **Observability**: Comprehensive metrics and monitoring across all servers This architecture positions MCP Tools as a foundational platform for development workflow automation while maintaining the flexibility to grow into a comprehensive development ecosystem.
