# Project Overview This project is a server implementing the MCP (Model Context Protocol) that allows users to interact with their MongoDB clusters and MongoDB Atlas accounts. It is built using TypeScript, Node.js and the official Anthropic @modelcontextprotocol/sdk SDK. ## Folder Structure - `/src`: Contains the source code of the MCP Server. - `/src/tools`: Contains the implementation of MCP tools. - `/src/tools/atlas/`: Contains the implementation of MCP tools that are specific to MongoDB Atlas. - `/src/tools/mongodb/`: Contains the implementation of MCP tools that are specific to MongoDB clusters. - `/src/resources`: Contains the implementation of MCP Resources. - `/tests`: Contains the test code for the MCP Server. - `/tests/accuracy`: Contains the test code for the accuracy tests, that use different models to ensure that tools have reliable descriptions. - `/tests/integration`: Contains tests that start the MCP Server and interact with it to ensure that functionality is correct. - `/tests/unit`: Contains simple unit tests to cover specific functionality of the MCP Server. ## Libraries and Frameworks - Zod for message and schema validation. - Express for the HTTP Transport implementation. - mongosh NodeDriverServiceProvider for connecting to MongoDB. - vitest for testing. - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for the protocol implementation. ## Coding Standards - For declarations, use types. For usage, rely on type inference unless it is not clear enough. - Always follow the eslint and prettier rule formats specified in `.eslint.config.js` and `.prettierrc.json`. - Use classes for stateful components and functions for stateless pure logic. - Use dependency injection to provide dependencies between components. - Avoid using global variables as much as possible. - New functionality MUST be under test. - Tools MUST HAVE integration tests. - Tools MUST HAVE unit tests. - Tools MAY HAVE accuracy tests. ## Architectural Guidelines and Best Practices Every agent connected to the MCP Server has a Session object attached to it. The Session is the main entrypoint for dependencies to other components. Any component that MUST be used by either a tool or a resource MUST be provided through the Session. ### Guidelines for All Tools - The name of the tool should describe an action: `create-collection`, `insert-many`. - The description MUST be a simple and accurate prompt that defines what the tool does in an unambiguous way. - All tools MUST provide a Zod schema that clearly specifies the API of the tool. - The Operation type MUST be clear: - `metadata`: Reads metadata for an entity (for example, a cluster). Example: CollectionSchema. - `read`: Reads information from a cluster or Atlas. - `create`: Creates resources, like a collection or a cluster. - `delete`: Deletes resources or documents, like collections, documents or clusters. - `update`: Modifies resources or documents, like collections, documents or clusters. - `connects`: Connects to a MongoDB cluster. - If a new tool is added, or the tool description is modified, the accuracy tests MUST be updated too. ### Guidelines for MongoDB Tools - The tool category MUST be `mongodb`. - They MUST call `this.ensureConnected()` before attempting to query MongoDB. - They MUST return content sanitized using `formatUntrustedData`. - Documents should be serialized with `EJSON.stringify`. - Ensure there are proper timeout mechanisms to avoid long-running queries that can affect the server. - Tools that require elicitation MUST implement `getConfirmationMessage` and provide an easy-to-understand message for a human running the operation. - If a tool requires elicitation, it must be added to `src/common/config.ts` in the `confirmationRequiredTools` list in the defaultUserConfig. ### Guidelines for Atlas Tools - The tool category MUST be `atlas`.
