Development

Running in Development

bun run dev

Testing with MCP Inspector

bun run inspect

Then connect the MCP Inspector to test the tools interactively.

Build and Type Checking

bun run build              # Compile TypeScript to dist/
bun run typecheck          # Run TypeScript type checking
bun run typecheck:watch    # Watch mode type checking

Code Architecture

The server is organized with a modular, resource-based architecture:

src/
├── tools/
│   ├── shared.ts          # Common utilities and patterns
│   ├── user-tools.ts      # User operations (get-user)
│   ├── task-tools.ts      # Task operations (14 tools)
│   ├── stream-tools.ts    # Stream operations (get-streams)
│   └── index.ts           # Export all tools
├── resources/
│   └── index.ts           # API documentation resource
├── auth/                  # Authentication strategies
├── config/                # Environment configuration
├── utils/                 # Utilities (filtering, trimming, etc.)
└── main.ts                # Server setup (47 lines vs 1162 before refactoring)

Key Features:

Type Safety: Full TypeScript typing with Zod schema validation
Parameter Destructuring: Clean, explicit function signatures
Shared Utilities: Common patterns extracted to reduce duplication
Error Handling: Standardized error handling across all tools
Response Optimization: Task filtering and trimming for large datasets

Authentication

Stdio Transport: Requires SUNSAMA_EMAIL and SUNSAMA_PASSWORD environment variables.

HTTP Transport: The Sunsama credentials are passed in the HTTP request. No environment variables needed.
