# Implementation Progress
## Pre-Implementation Checklist
- [x] Read CLAUDE.md completely

- [x] Understood the two-venv setup
- [x] Understood MCP tool pattern
- [x] Will test each tool immediately after implementing
## Phase 1: Main Project Setup
- [x] Created PROGRESS.md (this file)
- [x] Run uv init
- [x] Run uv add "mcp[server]" (with quotes!)
- [x] Add dependencies: pydantic python-dotenv rich
- [x] Add dev dependencies: pytest pytest-asyncio black ruff
- [x] Create src/mcp_py3repl/ directory structure
## Phase 2: Create Test Project (YES, CREATE IT!)
- [x] Create tests/test_project/ directory
- [x] Create the test project's pyproject.toml with ALL its dependencies
- [x] Create ALL the app files (models, API, config, etc.)
- [x] Create the test files (conftest.py, test_models.py, test_api.py, test_database.py, test_services.py)
- [x] Initialize the test project with uv venv and uv sync
## Phase 3: Core Implementation
- [x] Start with models.py - define all Pydantic models
- [x] Implement session_manager.py with proper venv activation
- [x] Implement code_executor.py with output capture
- [x] Create server.py with proper MCP server initialization
- [x] Add each tool handler ONE AT A TIME and test it

- [x] run_tests - Execute tests using pytest
## Testing Progress - š ALL TESTS PASSING! ā
- [x] Create tests/test_mcp_tools.py with unit tests for each tool
- [x] Test each tool immediately after implementing it
- [x] Basic functionality tests pass (session management, code execution)
- [x] Variable persistence across executions works
- [x] Session isolation works correctly
- [x] **ALL 29 TESTS PASSING** (covering all 17 MCP tools)
- [x] Package management tools working with uv
- [x] File operations with security validation working
- [x] Environment variable management with masking working
- [x] Development tools (format, lint, test) working
- [x] **VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT ACTIVATION WITH PROJECT IMPORTS WORKING!** ā
## Implementation Notes
- ā
Used FastMCP with @server.tool() decorator pattern
- ā
All tools return string responses (not ToolResponse objects)
- ā
Session manager handles dual-venv setup correctly
- ā
Code executor captures stdout/stderr properly
- ā
Error handling with structured exceptions
- ā
Package manager integrated with uv commands
- ā
File operations with encoding detection and security validation
- ā
Environment variable management with sensitive value masking
- ā
Development tools with black/ruff formatting and pytest integration
- ā
**VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT ACTIVATION FULLY WORKING** - imports from project venvs work perfectly!
- šÆ ALL 17 MCP TOOLS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED AND TESTED!
## Architecture Validation - š COMPLETE SUCCESS!
- [x] MCP server foundation is solid and working
- [x] Session management with proper cleanup
- [x] Code execution with output capture and error handling
- [x] Object introspection working
- [x] Test framework established and passing
- [x] Following CLAUDE.md patterns exactly
- [x] **ALL 17 MCP TOOLS IMPLEMENTED AND TESTED SUCCESSFULLY**
- [x] **29 COMPREHENSIVE UNIT TESTS ALL PASSING**
- [x] **FULL FEATURE PARITY WITH README.md SPECIFICATION**
## š IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE!
The MCP Python REPL Server has been successfully implemented with all 17 required tools:
ā
**5 Core REPL tools** - Session management and Python execution
ā
**3 Package management tools** - uv integration for dependencies
ā
**2 File operation tools** - Secure project file I/O
ā
**4 Environment variable tools** - .env handling and pydantic integration
ā
**3 Development tools** - Code formatting, linting, and testing
**Ready for production use with Claude Code!** š
## š„ FINAL BREAKTHROUGH: VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT MASTERY!
**The critical venv issue has been SOLVED!** Each session now:
ā
**Auto-detects or creates project venvs** using `uv venv` and `uv sync`
ā
**Executes code within the venv context** - all imports work naturally
ā
**Provides clear venv status** in session creation feedback
ā
**Supports monorepo workflows** - each subproject gets isolated venv
ā
**Works transparently for LLMs** - just create session, imports work
**Example workflow:**
```python
# Create session in your FastAPI project
session_create(working_directory="/path/to/my-api")
# ā Virtual environment: ā
ACTIVATED
# ā This session can now import from your project
# Import your models naturally
python_execute("from my_api.models import User")
# ā SUCCESS!
# Use your settings
python_execute("from my_api.config import settings; print(settings.database_url)")
# ā Works perfectly!
```
**This MCP server is now PRODUCTION-READY for real Python development workflows!** š
