## Active Context: Marketstack MCP Server
### Current Work Focus
The primary focus has been on the initial setup and implementation of the Marketstack MCP server based on the defined plan. This involved creating the core project structure, setting up the client and caching mechanism, and implementing the specified tools.
### Recent Changes
- Created the core Memory Bank files: `projectbrief.md`, `productContext.md`, `systemPatterns.md`, `techContext.md`, `activeContext.md`, and `progress.md`.
- Created the `src` directory and its subdirectories (`tools`, `tools/marketData`, `tools/referenceData`, `tools/financialInstruments`).
- Created the core server files: `src/marketstackClient.ts`, `src/cacheConfig.ts`, `src/tools/wrapToolHandler.ts`, and `src/index.ts`.
- Created the `package.json`, `README.md`, and `LICENSE` files.
- Installed project dependencies using `npm install`.
- Implemented all specified individual tool files within their respective category directories (`marketData`, `referenceData`, `financialInstruments`).
- Created `index.ts` files within each tool category and the main `src/tools/index.ts` to register the tools.
### Next Steps
- Conduct comprehensive testing of the implemented tools and the caching mechanism.
- Refine tool descriptions and schemas based on testing and further review of documentation.
- Improve error handling granularity.
- Implement logging.
- Update README with detailed usage examples for each tool.
- Consider implementing automated tests.
### Active Decisions and Considerations
- **API Key Management**: The Marketstack API key is managed via the `MARKETSTACK_API_KEY` environment variable.
- **Caching**: A centralized LRU cache is implemented in the `MarketstackClient` with tool-specific TTLs defined in `cacheConfig.ts`.
- **Tool Implementation**: All specified tools from `marketstack-docs.md` have been implemented, excluding the ones explicitly skipped.
- **Endpoint Paths**: Assumed endpoint paths for listing indices (`index`) and bond countries (`bonds`) based on documentation examples; these may need adjustment if testing reveals different paths.
