### 📡 ANALYST AGENT: MCP Integration
#### **🚨 CRITICAL ISSUE: Architectural Inconsistencies**
**Problem:** The codebase has **TWO DIFFERENT MCP SERVER IMPLEMENTATIONS**:
1. **Production Code** (`/src/index.ts`):
- Direct Server instantiation
- Switch-case tool routing
- No argument validation
- Manual error handling
- Direct BigQuery client calls
2. **Unused Factory Pattern** (`/src/mcp/server-factory.ts`):
- Sophisticated lifecycle management
- State tracking (INITIALIZING, READY, RUNNING, STOPPING, STOPPED, ERROR)
- Health monitoring capabilities
- Graceful shutdown with timeouts
- Event emission for observability
**Impact:** Production code misses the benefits of the well-designed factory pattern.
#### **1. Tool Handler Registration**
**Current State:** ⭐⭐ (2/5) - **Needs Improvement**
**Production Implementation** (`index.ts`):
```typescript
// Primitive switch-case routing
switch (name) {
case 'query_bigquery':
result = await this.handleQuery(args);
break;
case 'list_datasets':
result = await this.handleListDatasets(args);
break;
// ...
}
```
**Unused Factory Pattern** (`tool-handlers.ts`):
```typescript
// Elegant factory pattern (NOT USED)
const handler = this.create(toolName, context);
return await handler.execute(args);
```
**Issues:**
1. No handler factory usage
2. No argument validation before execution
3. Missing context metadata
4. Duplicate code across handlers
#### **2. Query Tool Implementation**
**🚨 CRITICAL: Three Different Query Implementations**
**Implementation 1** - Mock (`/src/mcp/tools/query-tool.ts`):
```typescript
// Returns FAKE DATA - not connected to BigQuery!
return {
rowCount: 5,
rows: [
{ id: 1, name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' },
// ... mock data
]
};
```
**Implementation 2** - Handler Factory (`/src/mcp/handlers/tool-handlers.ts`):
```typescript
// Real BigQuery integration via handler
const result = await this.context.bigQueryClient.query({...});
return this.formatSuccess({...});
```
**Implementation 3** - Direct (`/src/index.ts`):
```typescript
// Direct client usage
const rows = await this.bigquery!.query(args.query);
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(rows) }] };
```
**Impact:**
- Confusion about which path is used
- Mock tool serves no purpose in production
- Inconsistent response formats
- Different error handling strategies
#### **3. Schema Validation**
**Current State:** ⭐⭐ (2/5) - **Not Used**
**Available Validation** (`tool-schemas.ts`):
```typescript
// Comprehensive Zod schemas exist
export const TOOL_SCHEMAS = {
query_bigquery: z.object({
query: z.string().min(1).max(10000)
.regex(/^SELECT/i, "Query must start with SELECT"),
dryRun: z.boolean().optional().default(false),
projectId: z.string().optional()
}),
// ... 6 more schemas
};
```
**Problem:** Production code **DOES NOT USE** these schemas:
```typescript
// index.ts - NO VALIDATION!
result = await this.handleQuery(args as { query: string; dryRun?: boolean });
```
**Should Be:**
```typescript
const validated = validateToolArgs('query_bigquery', args);
result = await this.handleQuery(validated);
```
#### **4. Error Handling**
**Current State:** ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) - **Inconsistent**
**Production Error Handling:**
```typescript
try {
// ... execution
} catch (error) {
logger.error('Tool execution error', { tool: name, error });
throw error; // Loses context, not MCP-formatted
}
```
**Handler Factory Error Handling** (unused):
```typescript
protected formatError(error: Error | string, code?: string): ToolResponse {
return {
content: [{
type: 'text',
text: JSON.stringify({
error: message,
code: code || 'TOOL_ERROR',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
}, null, 2)
}],
isError: true,
};
}
```
**Issues:**
1. Error context lost in production
2. No error classification (validation vs BigQuery vs auth)
3. Clients see generic errors
4. Missing structured error codes
