Dependency Updates** 🔄 **Current outdated packages detected:** ```bash @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: 0.5.0 → 1.20.2 (MAJOR UPDATE!) @types/node: 20.19.23 → 24.9.1 mssql: 11.0.1 → 12.0.0 (MAJOR UPDATE!) zod: 3.25.76 → 4.1.12 (MAJOR UPDATE!) ``` **Action Required**: Update dependencies carefully due to major version changes. ### **2. GitHub Repository Enhancements** 📋 #### **Missing GitHub Files** Create these essential GitHub files: **`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md`**: ```markdown --- name: Bug report about: Create a report to help us improve title: '' labels: 'bug' assignees: '' --- **Describe the bug** A clear and concise description of what the bug is. **MCP Tool** Which MCP tool is affected (mssql_query, mssql_health_check, etc.)? **Expected behavior** What you expected to happen. **Environment:** - OS: [e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux] - Node.js version: [e.g. 20.x] - Database: [e.g. SQL Server 2019, Azure SQL] ``` **`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md`**: ```markdown --- name: Feature request about: Suggest an idea for this project title: '' labels: 'enhancement' assignees: '' --- **Is your feature request related to a problem?** A clear description of what the problem is. **Describe the solution you'd like** A clear description of what you want to happen. **MCP Integration** How would this integrate with the MCP protocol? ``` **`.github/workflows/ci.yml`** (CI/CD Pipeline): ```yaml name: CI/CD on: push: branches: [ master, develop ] pull_request: branches: [ master ] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest services: mssql: image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest env: SA_PASSWORD: Password123! ACCEPT_EULA: Y ports: - 1433:1433 steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - name: Use Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v3 with: node-version: '20' - run: npm ci - run: npm run build - run: npm test - run: npm audit ``` ### **3. Enhanced Documentation** 📚 #### **Create `CONTRIBUTING.md`**: ```markdown # Contributing to MCP MSSQL Connector ## Development Setup 1. Fork the repository 2. Install dependencies: `npm install` 3. Set up test database (see docker-compose.yml) 4. Run tests: `npm test` ## MCP Tool Development - All tools must follow MCP protocol standards - Include comprehensive error handling - Add security validation for database operations - Update tests for new functionality ## Pull Request Process 1. Update documentation 2. Add/update tests 3. Ensure security audit passes 4. Follow semantic versioning ``` --- ## 🔧 **Technical Enhancement Recommendations** ### **1. Advanced Authentication System** 🔐 **Implement OAuth 2.0 + JWT Support**: ```typescript interface AuthProvider { validateToken(token: string): Promise<AuthResult>; refreshToken(refreshToken: string): Promise<TokenPair>; getConnectionConfig(user: UserContext): ConnectionConfig; } class AzureADProvider implements AuthProvider { // Azure Active Directory integration } class JWTProvider implements AuthProvider { // JWT token validation } ``` **Benefits**: - Enterprise SSO integration - Stateless authentication - Role-based access control - Audit trail capabilities ### **2. Performance Monitoring Dashboard** 📊 **Create monitoring endpoint**: ```typescript // New MCP tool: mssql_get_metrics interface PerformanceMetrics { queryCount: number; avgQueryTime: number; errorRate: number; connectionPoolStats: PoolStats; topSlowQueries: QueryAnalysis[]; } ``` **Implementation**: ```typescript class MetricsCollector { private metrics: Map<string, MetricData> = new Map(); recordQuery(duration: number, success: boolean): void; recordConnection(latency: number): void; getReport(timeframe: string): PerformanceReport; } ``` ### **3. Query Optimization Engine** ⚡ **Smart query enhancement**: ```typescript class QueryOptimizer { analyzeQuery(sql: string): QueryPlan; suggestIndexes(tables: string[]): IndexRecommendation[]; rewriteQuery(sql: string): OptimizedQuery; estimateCost(query: string): CostEstimate; } ``` ### **4. Advanced Security Features** 🛡️ **Enhanced security validation**: ```typescript class AdvancedSecurityValidator extends SecurityValidator { validateDataClassification(query: string): ClassificationResult; checkDataMasking(results: any[]): MaskedResults; auditDataAccess(user: string, query: string): void; enforceRowLevelSecurity(user: UserContext): PolicySet; } ``` --- ## 🏗️ **Architecture Expansion Recommendations** ### **1. Multi-Database Support** 🔄 **Extend beyond SQL Server**: ```typescript interface DatabaseProvider { connect(config: ConnectionConfig): Promise<Connection>; translateQuery(mssqlQuery: string): string; getSchemaInfo(): Promise<SchemaInfo>; } class PostgreSQLProvider implements DatabaseProvider { } class MySQLProvider implements DatabaseProvider { } class OracleProvider implements DatabaseProvider { } ``` ### **2. Caching Layer** 💾 **Implement Redis-based caching**: ```typescript class QueryCache { private redis: RedisClient; async getCachedResult(queryHash: string): Promise<CachedResult>; async setCachedResult(queryHash: string, result: any, ttl: number): Promise<void>; async invalidatePattern(pattern: string): Promise<void>; } ``` ### **3. Microservices Architecture** 🏢 **Split into specialized services**: ``` mcp-mssql-connector/ ├── auth-service/ # Authentication & authorization ├── query-service/ # Query execution engine ├── schema-service/ # Schema discovery & metadata ├── monitoring-service/ # Performance & health monitoring ├── cache-service/ # Distributed caching └── gateway-service/ # MCP protocol gateway ``` --- ## 📊 **DevOps & Deployment Enhancements** ### **1. Kubernetes Deployment** ☸️ **Create Helm chart**: ```yaml # charts/mcp-mssql/values.yaml replicaCount: 3 image: repository: michaelyuwh/mcp-mssql-connector tag: "1.0.0" service: type: ClusterIP port: 80 ingress: enabled: true annotations: kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx ``` ### **2. Monitoring Stack** 📈 **Implement observability**: ```yaml # docker-compose.monitoring.yml version: '3.8' services: prometheus: image: prom/prometheus ports: ["9090:9090"] grafana: image: grafana/grafana ports: ["3000:3000"] jaeger: image: jaegertracing/all-in-one ports: ["16686:16686"] ``` ### **3. Advanced CI/CD** 🔄 **Multi-stage pipeline**: ```yaml stages: - test - security-scan - build - deploy-staging - integration-tests - deploy-production ``` --- ## 🎯 **Business Value Enhancements** ### **1.
