# Outscraper MCP Development Todo
## 🎯 Project Goal
Create a world-class Outscraper MCP server with 2 essential tools for Google Maps data extraction.
## 📊 Current Status
- ✅ Core server implementation complete (FastMCP-based)
- ✅ Two main tools implemented and working
- ✅ Basic documentation and examples
- ❌ Smithery deployment not working
- ❌ Missing proper packaging structure
- ❌ Incomplete test coverage
## 🚀 High Priority Tasks
### 1. Fix Smithery Deployment Issues
- [ ] **Create proper Dockerfile**
- Set up Python 3.10+ base image
- Install dependencies correctly
- Configure proper entry point for HTTP server
- Test container builds locally
- [ ] **Fix HTTP server implementation**
- Review current `server_http.py` implementation
- Ensure proper CORS handling
- Fix port binding and host configuration
- Test HTTP endpoints manually
- [ ] **Validate Smithery configuration**
- Review `smithery.yaml` schema
- Test with actual deployment
- Verify config schema validation
### 2. Improve Package Structure
- [ ] **Add pyproject.toml**
- Proper Python packaging configuration
- Dependencies management
- Build system configuration
- Entry points for CLI
- [ ] **Verify package installation**
- Test PyPI installation flow
- Test local development installation
- Verify all import paths work correctly
### 3. Test All Deployment Methods
- [ ] **Local Testing**
- Test stdio transport
- Test HTTP transport
- Test with FastMCP dev server
- [ ] **PyPI Deployment**
- Test installation via pip/uvx
- Verify CLI commands work
- Test with Claude Desktop config
- [ ] **Smithery Deployment**
- Deploy to Smithery platform
- Test HTTP server functionality
- Verify API key configuration
## 🔧 Medium Priority Tasks
### 4. Enhance Test Coverage
- [ ] **Unit Tests**
- Test OutscraperClient class methods
- Test input validation
- Test error handling scenarios
- [ ] **Integration Tests**
- Test with real API (limited calls)
- Test async request handling
- Test response formatting
- [ ] **Mock Tests**
- Mock API responses for testing
- Test edge cases
- Test rate limiting scenarios
## 📝 Low Priority Tasks
### 5. Documentation Polish
- [ ] **README improvements**
- Add troubleshooting section
- Improve examples
- Add performance tips
- [ ] **API Documentation**
- Document all parameters
- Add more usage examples
- Document async behavior
## ✅ Completed Tasks
- ✅ Core server implementation with FastMCP
- ✅ google_maps_search tool implementation
- ✅ google_maps_reviews tool implementation
- ✅ Basic error handling and logging
- ✅ Input validation for both tools
- ✅ Response formatting and async handling
- ✅ Basic Smithery configuration
- ✅ README with installation instructions
## 🎯 Success Criteria
1. **Smithery deployment works flawlessly**
2. **Both tools function correctly in all deployment modes**
3. **Comprehensive test coverage (>80%)**
4. **Clear documentation and examples**
5. **Easy installation via multiple methods**
## 🔄 Development Workflow
1. Fix high priority issues first
2. Test each fix thoroughly
3. Update documentation as needed
4. Maintain backward compatibility
5. Keep the server focused on 2 core tools
## 📋 Testing Checklist
- [ ] Local development server runs
- [ ] HTTP server starts correctly
- [ ] Both tools work with valid API key
- [ ] Error handling works for invalid inputs
- [ ] Async requests process correctly
- [ ] Claude Desktop integration works
- [ ] Smithery deployment succeeds
- [ ] PyPI installation works
