SurrealDB MCP Server

# Active Context: SurrealDB MCP Server (Phase 3 - Testing & Finalization) ## Current Focus * **Phase 3: Finalization & Publication.** The server has been published to GitHub and npm (currently at version 0.1.8). Focus is now on potential testing implementation and further improvements, including implementing schema inspection prompts. ## Recent Changes * **Completed Phase 1 (Connection Verification).** * **Scaffolded MCP Server & Dependencies.** * **Implemented Basic Connection & Credential Refactoring.** * **Implemented Core Tools:** `query`, `select`, `create`, `update`, `delete` tools implemented and tested. * **Implemented Additional Tools:** `merge`, `patch`, `upsert`, `insert`, `insertRelation` tools implemented and tested. * **Improved Error Logging:** Updated `catch` blocks to log full error objects. Tested error reporting. * **Prepared for Publishing:** * Updated `package.json` with metadata, `bin`, `files`, `engines`. * Created `README.md` with installation/configuration instructions. * Created `LICENSE` file (MIT). * Created `llms-install.md` for automated installation. * Added dev dependencies (`ts-node`, `eslint`, `prettier`, etc.). * Added standard lint/format configs (`.eslintrc.cjs`, `.prettierrc.json`). * Implemented `dev`, `lint`, `format` scripts in `package.json`. * **Input Validation Decision:** Decided against adding stricter regex validation for table/record IDs, relying instead on SurrealDB's own parsing and error handling, keeping only basic type/presence checks. * **Fixed Code Duplication:** Resolved duplicated code block near the end of `src/index.ts`. * **Updated ESLint Configuration:** Created `eslint.config.js` to use the new ESLint v9.0.0+ format, replacing the older `.eslintrc.cjs` approach. * **Fixed Linting Issues:** Removed unused imports and added appropriate ESLint disable comments for necessary `any` type usage. * **Verified Tool Functionality:** Manually tested all core tools (`query`, `create`, `select`, `update`, `patch`, `delete`) after code changes to ensure continued functionality. * **Publication Preparation:** * Published repository to GitHub at https://github.com/nsxdavid/surrealdb-mcp-server * Updated `package.json` with correct repository information * Created `.npmignore` file to control which files are published to npm * Verified build process works correctly * **Publication:** * Published to npm as versions 0.1.0 through 0.1.8 * Improved README with clearer installation and usage instructions * Fixed JSON examples in README to remove comments * Added support for additional AI assistants (Roo Code, Windsurf, Cursor) * Added n8n integration documentation * **Additional Improvements:** * Added support for the 'prompts' capability in v0.1.8 * Implemented handler for 'ListPromptsRequestSchema' * Redirected logs to stderr for better debugging * Added missing MCP protocol handlers * **Updated Memory Bank:** `progress.md` and `activeContext.md` updated. ## Next Steps 1. **✅ Create GitHub Releases:** GitHub releases have been created for versions v0.1.2, v0.1.3, v0.1.5, v0.1.6, and v0.1.8. 2. **Implement Schema Inspection Prompts:** Enhance the server with prompts that provide database structure information: * **Phase 1 Prompts:** * `database_schema` - Provides complete database schema via `INFO FOR DB` * `table_schema` - Returns schema for a specific table via `INFO FOR TABLE <table>` * `list_tables` - Lists all tables in the database * **Implementation Approach:** * Enhance the `ListPromptsRequestSchema` handler to return the available prompts * Implement the `GetPromptRequestSchema` handler to generate prompt content * Execute appropriate SurrealQL queries and return raw results * Format results as context-rich messages for AI assistants * **Expected Benefits:** * Provides AI assistants with database structure information * Enables more accurate query generation and recommendations * Improves user experience by reducing the need for explicit tool calls * Follows industry patterns established by other database MCP servers 3. **(Optional) Add Comprehensive Tests:** Implement automated tests covering all tools and edge cases (requires choosing a framework like Jest or Vitest). 4. **(Optional) Implement `test` script:** Update `package.json` to run the chosen test framework. 5. **(Optional) Update Documentation:** Ensure documentation reflects the latest changes, particularly the new 'prompts' capability added in v0.1.8 and the schema inspection prompts. ## Active Decisions & Considerations * The server uses environment variables for configuration, making it flexible for different authentication methods (Root, NS, DB, Scope) depending on the credentials provided by the user. * Relying on SurrealDB for detailed input format validation (table/record IDs) rather than duplicating logic with potentially inaccurate regex in the server. Basic type/presence checks remain. * `RecordId` instances are necessary for most specific record operations with the SDK. * Error logging includes full error objects. * Project structure is set up for potential npm publishing. ## Future Considerations * **SDK Documentation:** Still relevant to consider opening a GitHub issue/PR for `surrealdb.js` SDK documentation regarding the `RecordId` requirement. * **More Advanced Tools:** Consider tools for transactions, schema management, or function execution if needed later. * **Testing Framework:** Need to choose and implement a testing framework (e.g., Jest, Vitest). * **Expanded Prompts (Phase 2):** Consider implementing additional prompts for: * Query assistance (templates, explanations) * Database statistics * Graph relationship visualization * Data modeling suggestions
