--- story_id: "0020" title: "Multiple named connections support" created: "2025-10-09" status: "backlog" dependencies: ["0003"] estimated_complexity: "high" tags: ["connections", "advanced", "phase3"] --- # Story 0020: Multiple named connections support ## Description Extend ConnectionManager to support multiple simultaneous named connections, allowing AI to test multiple servers in parallel or compare server implementations. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] ConnectionManager supports multiple named connections - [ ] `connect_to_server` accepts optional `name` parameter - [ ] Default connection name if not specified - [ ] All tools accept optional `connection_name` parameter - [ ] `list_connections()` tool shows all active connections - [ ] `switch_connection(name)` tool changes active connection - [ ] Connection state tracked per named connection - [ ] Disconnect specific connection or all connections - [ ] Statistics tracked per connection - [ ] Unit tests for multi-connection scenarios - [ ] Documentation for named connections workflow ## Technical Notes **Enhanced API:** ```python await connect_to_server(url, name="prod-server") await connect_to_server(url2, name="staging-server") await list_tools(connection_name="prod-server") await call_tool("add", {"a": 5, "b": 3}, connection_name="staging-server") await disconnect(connection_name="prod-server") # Disconnect specific await disconnect_all() # Disconnect all ``` **State management:** ```python connections = { "prod-server": { "client": ..., "state": ..., "statistics": ... }, "staging-server": {...} } active_connection = "prod-server" # Default for tools without connection_name ``` ## AI Directives **IMPORTANT**: As you work through this story, please mark checklist items as complete `[x]` as you finish them. This ensures that if we need to pause and resume work, we have a clear record of progress. Update the `status` field in the frontmatter when moving between stages (in-progress, ready-for-review, done, blocked). This is a significant architecture change. Ensure backward compatibility with single-connection use case.
