# 🏆 Gold Standard Plan for Windows Operations MCP
## Based on Glama.ai Listing Review
**Current Status:** Listed on Glama.ai (https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@sandraschi/windows-operations-mcp)
**Current Coverage:** 8.22%
**Target Coverage:** 90%+
**Production Readiness:** 78%
---
## 📊 CRITICAL GAPS IDENTIFIED
### 1. **Test Coverage Crisis** 🚨
- **Current:** 8.22% code coverage
- **Target:** 90%+ code coverage
- **Impact:** Cannot claim production-ready or gold standard without comprehensive tests
### 2. **Missing PyPI Package** 🚨
- **Issue:** Listed installation says "pip install windows-operations-mcp" but package not published
- **Impact:** Users cannot install the tool as advertised
- **Action:** Publish to PyPI immediately
### 3. **Documentation Inconsistencies** ⚠️
- **Issue:** README examples reference old function signatures
- **Issue:** Archive tool examples show functions that don't exist (create_archive_tool vs create_archive)
- **Action:** Update all documentation to match actual implementation
### 4. **Missing Examples & Demos** ⚠️
- **Issue:** No working examples or demo scripts
- **Action:** Create examples/ directory with real-world usage scenarios
### 5. **No Benchmarks or Performance Data** ⚠️
- **Issue:** Claims "high-performance" without data
- **Action:** Add performance benchmarks and results
