Architecture

The server uses multiple layers for authentication and API access:

  1. Browser Authentication: Automated browser for interactive login
  2. Cookie Management: Handles NextAuth.js session cookies
  3. HTTP Client: Axios-based client for REST API calls
  4. tRPC Client: Type-safe client for tRPC endpoints
  5. Credential Manager: Validates user types and provides guidance

Security Notes

  • All authentication tokens are stored in memory only
  • The server uses secure cookie-based authentication
  • Access is restricted to authorized N High School Group email domains
  • No sensitive data is logged or persisted
  • Browser automation is used only for authentication, not data scraping

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Authentication Failed: Use interactive_login for the most reliable authentication
  2. Cookie Sync Issues: Run verify_authentication to check synchronization
  3. Connection Problems: Use health_check and debug_connection for diagnosis
  4. Empty Results: Ensure you're authenticated and have proper permissions

Debug Tools

The server includes comprehensive debugging tools:

  • debug_connection - Network and authentication debugging
  • test_page_content - Content retrieval testing
  • test_trpc_endpoint - API endpoint testing
  • verify_authentication - Authentication status verification
