MCP Notes

# MCP Notes Progress ## What Works ### Core Functionality 1. **Log Tool**: Successfully captures notes to daily log files. - Timestamps entries - Creates new log files when needed - Appends to existing logs 2. **Rollup Tool**: Creates summaries of daily notes. - Organizes notes by category - Formats with consistent template - Supports custom date selection 3. **Search Functionality**: Allows searching through notes. - Case-insensitive pattern matching - Recursive directory search - Exclusion patterns support 4. **Resource Access**: Exposes notes as MCP resources. - Lists available resources - Provides resource templates - Reads resource content ### Infrastructure 1. **MCP Server**: Properly handles MCP protocol communication. - Registers tool handlers - Processes resource requests - Returns appropriate responses 2. **Template System**: Loads and processes templates. - Caches templates for performance - Replaces placeholders with values - Handles template loading errors gracefully 3. **File System Operations**: Safely interacts with the file system. - Creates directories as needed - Validates file paths for security - Handles file read/write operations ### Documentation 1. **JSDoc Comments**: Added to key files: - src/tools/index.js - search-utils.js - prompts/template-loader.js - src/resources/index.js - index.js 2. **README.md**: Comprehensive documentation of: - Project overview - Installation instructions - Usage examples - Configuration options - Available tools 3. **Memory Bank**: Initialized with core documentation: - Project brief - Product context - System patterns - Technical context - Active context - Progress tracking ## What's Left to Build ### Testing 1. **Manual Test Script**: Create a script for testing tools without an MCP client. 2. **Error Handling Tests**: Add more comprehensive tests for error scenarios. 3. **Cross-Platform Testing**: Verify functionality across different operating systems. ### Feature Enhancements 1. **Note Categorization**: Add support for categorizing notes. - Define category schema - Implement category extraction - Update rollup to use categories 2. **Metadata Tracking**: Add support for tracking metadata. - Design metadata schema - Implement metadata storage - Add metadata querying 3. **Improved Rollup**: Enhance rollup summarization. - Add more intelligent categorization - Improve formatting options - Add statistics and insights ### User Experience 1. **Better Error Messages**: Improve error messages for better user feedback. 2. **Template Customization**: Add more options for template customization. 3. **Usage Examples**: Add more examples to documentation. ## Current Status The project is in a **stable, functional state** with core features implemented and documented. The current focus is on preparing for the **v0 alpha release** by completing documentation, cleaning up the codebase, and addressing known issues. ### Recent Milestones 1. ✅ Added comprehensive JSDoc comments to key files 2. ✅ Created detailed README.md 3. ✅ Initialized memory bank with core documentation 4. ✅ Removed test files and cleaned up codebase ### Upcoming Milestones 1. 🔄 Prepare v0 alpha release 2. 🔄 Create manual test script 3. 🔄 Improve error handling 4. 🔄 Test with different note directory structures ## Known Issues ### Technical Limitations 1. **MCP Protocol Constraints**: The one-way communication model of MCP limits the ability to implement true conversational features. - **Impact**: Rubber duck functionality is limited - **Workaround**: Focus on simple logging with clear prompts 2. **File System Concurrency**: No file locking mechanism for concurrent access. - **Impact**: Potential for conflicts if multiple processes access the same files - **Workaround**: Rely on file system's atomic operations where possible 3. **Template Limitations**: Templates are simple string replacements. - **Impact**: Limited conditional logic in templates - **Workaround**: Use multiple templates for different scenarios ### Bugs and Issues 1. **Error Handling Inconsistency**: Error handling is not consistent across all functions. - **Impact**: Some errors may not be properly reported - **Fix**: Implement consistent error handling pattern 2. **Path Validation**: Some path validation could be more robust. - **Impact**: Potential security issues with certain path patterns - **Fix**: Implement more comprehensive path validation ### Performance Considerations 1. **Large Directory Searches**: Searching large directories can be slow. - **Impact**: Poor performance with large note collections - **Optimization**: Implement indexing or more efficient search algorithms 2. **Template Caching**: Template caching could be more efficient. - **Impact**: Unnecessary file system operations in some cases - **Optimization**: Improve cache invalidation logic 3. **Memory Usage**: Memory usage could be optimized for large operations. - **Impact**: Potential memory issues with very large files - **Optimization**: Implement streaming operations where appropriate
