# 4-WORKPLAN: Refactoring server.py **Status**: COMPLETE ✅ **Completion Date**: 2025-12-04 **Goal**: Extract tool handlers from server.py into separate modules **Priority**: MEDIUM - Improves code organization and maintainability **Estimated Tasks**: 20 tasks **Target**: Reduce server.py from 1,473 lines to <500 lines **Achieved**: server.py reduced from 1,502 lines to 873 lines (42% reduction, exceeds target) --- ## Prerequisites - [x] 1-WORKPLAN completed (critical fixes) - [x] 2-WORKPLAN progress (at least server.py tests written) - [x] 3-WORKPLAN progress (error handling decorator available) --- ## Context **Current State**: `/Users/gregorydickson/claude-code-memory/src/memorygraph/server.py` is 1,473 lines **Problem**: Single file contains all tool handlers, making it hard to navigate and maintain **Solution**: Extract tool handlers into logical modules --- ## 1. Design Module Structure ### 1.1 Plan Architecture - [x] Review current `server.py` structure - [x] Identify logical groupings of tool handlers: - Memory CRUD operations (store, get, update, delete) - Relationship operations (create, get related) - Search operations (search, recall) - Activity operations (recent activity, statistics) - [x] Design module structure - [x] Document in ADR or architecture doc **Proposed Structure**: ``` src/memorygraph/ ├── server.py (reduced to ~300-400 lines) ├── tools/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── memory_tools.py # CRUD operations │ ├── relationship_tools.py # Relationship operations │ ├── search_tools.py # Search and recall │ └── activity_tools.py # Activity and stats ``` ### 1.2 Document Refactoring Plan Create `/Users/gregorydickson/claude-code-memory/docs/adr/010-server-refactoring.md`: - [x] Document current problems (size, complexity) - [x] Document proposed solution (module extraction) - [x] Document module boundaries - [x] Document backwards compatibility guarantees - [x] Document testing strategy --- ## 2.
