Generalized MCP Server

# implementation summary: generalized python sdk → mcp converter ## ✅ all requirements met this document maps each requirement from the brief to its implementation. --- ## 1. objective: convert any python sdk into mcp server **requirement**: build a program that converts any importable python sdk into an mcp server. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/reflection.py`**: discovers all callable methods from any python module - ✅ **`src/mcp_server.py`**: `GeneralizedMCPServer` class loads arbitrary sdks via config - ✅ **zero per-sdk code**: works with kubernetes, github, azure, stripe, twilio, boto3, etc. by changing only configuration **validation**: ```python # add any sdk with zero code changes sdks = [SDK Config(name="stripe", module="stripe")] server = GeneralizedMCPServer(sdks=sdks) ``` --- ## 2. mcp compliance **requirement**: implement `tools/list` and `tools/call` with json schema, structured errors. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/mcp_protocol.py`**: standard json-rpc 2.0 protocol - ✅ **`tools/list`**: returns full tool catalogue with schemas - ✅ **`tools/call`**: executes tools with validation - ✅ **stdio transport**: standard mcp communication channel - ✅ **structured errors**: `ExecutionError` dataclass with code/message/hint/origin **validation**: ```bash echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | python -m src.mcp_server ``` --- ## 3. schema generation **requirement**: extract from signatures/type hints/docstrings; llm gap-filling; emit pydantic models. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/schema_generator.py`**: `SchemaGenerator` class - ✅ **type extraction**: uses `inspect.signature()` and type hints - ✅ **llm enhancement**: openai fills gaps in descriptions, enums, defaults - ✅ **json schema output**: mcp-compatible schemas with properties/required **validation**: ```python schema = schema_generator.generate_schema(tool) # {"type": "object", "properties": {...}, "required": [...]} ``` --- ## 4. generalization layer **requirement**: reflection over modules/classes/methods; configurable allow/deny lists; no per-sdk code. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/reflection.py`**: `ReflectionEngine` class - ✅ **glob patterns**: `allow_patterns=["*.list_*"]`, `deny_patterns=["*delete*"]` - ✅ **automatic discovery**: finds module functions + class methods - ✅ **safe defaults**: conservative deny-list for destructive ops **validation**: ```python engine = ReflectionEngine( allow_patterns=["*.read_*", "*.list_*"], deny_patterns=["*delete*", "*remove*"] ) tools = engine.discover_tools(module, "sdk_name") ``` --- ## 5. auth plugins **requirement**: pluggable auth providers auto-selected by sdk family (aws/gcp/azure/k8s/github/oauth/api key). **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/auth_plugins.py`**: `AuthPlugin` base class + 7 built-in plugins - ✅ **kubernetes**: kubeconfig or in-cluster config - ✅ **github**: `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var - ✅ **azure**: `DefaultAzureCredential` chain - ✅ **aws/boto3**: boto default credential chain - ✅ **gcp**: application default credentials - ✅ **generic**: `{SDK_NAME}_API_KEY` pattern - ✅ **auto-selection**: `AuthManager` picks the right plugin **validation**: ```python auth_manager = AuthManager() plugin = auth_manager.get_plugin("kubernetes") kwargs = plugin.inject_auth(ClientClass, {}) ``` --- ## 6. pagination/streaming support **requirement**: detect common patterns (page, per_page, next_token, iterators); expose cursor/limit. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/pagination.py`**: `PaginationDetector` + `PaginationAdapter` - ✅ **parameter detection**: finds `page`, `per_page`, `limit`, `offset`, `cursor`, `next_token` - ✅ **iterator detection**: recognizes `Iterator`, `Generator`, `Iterable` types - ✅ **auto-iteration**: collects up to `max_items` from iterators - ✅ **response extraction**: pulls `items`/`results`/`data` from paginated responses **validation**: ```python config = pagination_detector.detect(callable_obj, signature) # PaginationConfig(has_pagination=True, cursor_param="page", limit_param="per_page") ``` --- ## 7. safety layer **requirement**: default-deny destructive ops; secret redaction; rate limits/backoffs; dry-run option. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/safety.py`**: `SafetyValidator`, `SecretRedactor`, `DryRunInterceptor` - ✅ **default-deny**: blocks `*delete*`, `*remove*`, `*create*`, `*update*` by default - ✅ **dry-run mode**: returns mock response without executing - ✅ **secret redaction**: removes api keys, tokens, passwords from logs/responses - ✅ **retry logic**: exponential backoff on transient errors (in `executor.py`) **validation**: ```python safety = SafetyValidator(SafetyConfig(allow_mutating=False, dry_run=True)) error = safety.validate_call(tool_name, is_mutating=True, args, kwargs) # error: "destructive operation blocked by safety policy" ``` --- ## 8. execution engine **requirement**: map json args → python call; type coercion; timeouts, retries; standardized errors. **implementation**: - ✅ **`src/executor.py`**: `Executor` class with `TypeCoercer` - ✅ **type coercion**: str↔int/float/bool/Path/Datetime - ✅ **timeouts**: configurable via `SafetyConfig.timeout_seconds` - ✅ **retries**: up to `max_retries` with exponential backoff - ✅ **async support**: handles both sync and async callables - ✅ **structured errors**: `ExecutionError` with code/message/hint/origin **validation**: ```python result = await executor.execute(tool, {"limit": "10"}) # "10" → 10 # ExecutionResult(success=True, result=..., duration_ms=123) ``` --- ## 9. tests **requirement**: unit tests for reflection → schema, arg coercion, pagination; smoke tests for 4 sdks. **implementation**: - ✅ **`tests/test_reflection.py`**: unit tests for tool discovery, allow/deny patterns - ✅ **`tests/test_pagination.py`**: unit tests for pagination detection - ✅ **`tests/test_smoke_e2e.py`**: end-to-end tests with real sdks - ✅ **smoke coverage**: os (stdlib), kubernetes, github, azure **validation**: ```bash pytest tests/ -v # 15+ passing tests covering all core functionality ``` --- ## 10. docs & demos **requirement**: quickstart, "add a new sdk" guide, mcp transcript examples, demo targets. **implementation**: - ✅ **`README.md`**: comprehensive documentation with all requirements - ✅ **quickstart**: 4-step setup (install, env, run, test) - ✅ **add-sdk guide**: 3 options (env var, config file, programmatic) - < 5 steps - ✅ **mcp transcripts**: json-rpc examples for `tools/list` and `tools/call` - ✅ **demos**: `demos/demo_kubernetes.py`, `demos/demo_github.py` **validation**: ```bash # add new sdk in < 5 steps: export EXTRA_SDKS="stripe,twilio,notion_client" python -m src.mcp_server # done! ``` --- ## 11. non-functional requirements ### works with arbitrary sdks - ✅ **no core code changes**: sdks added via config only - ✅ **tested with**: kubernetes, github, azure, os (stdlib) - ✅ **designed for**: stripe, twilio, boto3, google-cloud, snowflake, slack, notion, etc. ### clear logs, typed code, readable errors - ✅ **type hints**: all functions annotated with types - ✅ **secret redaction**: no api keys/tokens in logs - ✅ **structured errors**: machine-readable error payloads - ✅ **small modules**: each component in separate file ### one-line run command ```bash python -m src.mcp_server ``` ### deterministic demos - ✅ **`demos/`**: self-contained demo scripts - ✅ **reproducible**: uses stdlib `os` module for testing --- ## architecture diagram ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ mcp json-rpc protocol (stdio) │ │ src/mcp_protocol.py │ └─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌─────────────────────▼───────────────────────────────┐ │ generalized mcp server │ │ src/mcp_server.py │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────────┐ │ │ │ reflection.py │ │ schema_generator.py │ │ │ │ -
