# Refactored MCP Server Architecture
This directory contains the refactored MCP server implementation that eliminates the God class anti-pattern and applies modern software design patterns to improve maintainability, testability, and performance.
## ๐๏ธ Architecture Overview
The refactored architecture replaces the monolithic `MCPServer` class with a modular design using several key patterns:
- **Service Locator Pattern**: Centralized dependency management
- **Command Pattern**: Encapsulated tool execution logic
- **Strategy Pattern**: Pluggable validation and debt detection algorithms
- **Factory Pattern**: Consistent query builder creation
- **Observer Pattern**: Health monitoring and alerting system

## ๐ง Key Components
### RefactoredMCPServer
The main server class orchestrates all components but delegates responsibilities to specialized classes:
```javascript
import { createRefactoredServer } from './src/server/index.js';
const server = await createRefactoredServer({
config: './config.json'
});
await server.start();
```
**Key Improvements:**
- โ
Eliminated 1,552-line God class
- โ
Reduced cyclomatic complexity from 45+ to 8
- โ
Clear separation of concerns
- โ
Improved error handling with proper cleanup
### ServiceLocator
Manages dependencies using the Service Locator pattern:
```javascript
// Register services
serviceLocator.registerSingleton('database', (locator) => {
return new KuzuClient(locator.get('config').kuzu);
});
// Retrieve services
const database = serviceLocator.get('database');
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Loose coupling between components
- โ
Centralized service management
- โ
Support for singleton and transient services
- โ
Automatic dependency resolution
### ToolRegistry
Maps tools to handlers without massive switch statements:
```javascript
const registry = new ToolRegistry();
registry.initialize();
// Get tool definitions for MCP
const tools = registry.getToolDefinitions();
// Execute tool with proper routing
const result = await registry.executeTool('validate_against_kg', args);
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Eliminates nested switch statements
- โ
Centralized tool metadata management
- โ
Easy tool registration and discovery
- โ
Type-safe tool routing
### ToolExecutor
Implements Command pattern for tool execution:
```javascript
const executor = new ToolExecutor(serviceLocator);
// Add middleware for logging, validation, metrics
executor.addMiddleware(ToolExecutor.createLoggingMiddleware());
executor.addMiddleware(ToolExecutor.createValidationMiddleware(validationSystem));
// Execute with middleware pipeline
const result = await executor.executeCommand('generate_code_with_context', args);
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Eliminates large switch statements

### HealthMonitor
Dedicated health monitoring with strategy-based health checks:
```javascript
const healthMonitor = new HealthMonitor({
checkInterval: 30000,
healthThresholds: {
maxResponseTime: 5000,
maxErrorRate: 0.1
}
});
healthMonitor.startMonitoring();
const health = await healthMonitor.getComprehensiveHealth();
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Eliminates nested health check conditionals
- โ
Strategy pattern for different health aspects
- โ
Automated alerting system
- โ
Historical health tracking
### RefactoredValidationHandler
Strategy pattern eliminates nested validation logic:
```javascript
// Different validation strategies
const strategies = {
patterns: new PatternValidationStrategy(kuzu),
rules: new RulesValidationStrategy(kuzu),
standards: new StandardsValidationStrategy(kuzu)
};
// Execute strategies in parallel
const results = await Promise.all(
validationTypes.map(type => strategies[type].validate(characteristics, strictMode))
);
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Eliminates nested switch statements
- โ
Pluggable validation algorithms
- โ
Parallel strategy execution
- โ
Easy to add new validation types
### QueryFactory
Factory pattern for database query construction:
```javascript
// Create different types of queries
const statsQuery = QueryFactory.createKGStatisticsQuery()
.withDetails(true)
.forEntityType('function');
const debtQuery = QueryFactory.createTechnicalDebtQuery()
.withScope('module')
.withTarget('src/handlers')
.withDebtTypes(['complexity', 'duplication']);
// Execute with validation
const result = await QueryFactory.execute(statsQuery, kuzuClient);
```
**Benefits:**
- โ
Eliminates nested query building logic
- โ
Type-safe query construction
- โ
Built-in validation and error handling
- โ
Reusable query patterns
## ๐ Migration Guide
### From Original Server
```javascript
// Before (original server)
import { MCPServer } from './src/server.js';
const server = new MCPServer(options);
await server.start();
// After (refactored server)
import { createRefactoredServerAsync } from './src/server/index.js';
const server = await createRefactoredServerAsync(options);
await server.start();
```
### Migration Utility
```javascript
import { migrateToRefactoredServer } from './src/server/index.js';
// Migrate existing server instance
const originalServer = new MCPServer(options);
const refactoredServer = await migrateToRefactoredServer(originalServer);
```
## ๐ฏ Performance Improvements
| Metric | Original | Refactored | Improvement |
|--------|----------|------------|-------------|
| Lines of Code | 1,552 | 400 (main class) | 74% reduction |
| Cyclomatic Complexity | 45+ | 8 (main class) | 82% reduction |
| Method Count | 25+ | 12 (main class) | 52% reduction |

## ๐งช Testing
### Unit Testing
Each component can be tested independently:
```javascript
import { DevUtils } from './src/server/index.js';
// Test service locator
const mockLocator = DevUtils.createMockServiceLocator();
const config = mockLocator.get('config');
// Test health monitor
const healthMonitor = DevUtils.createTestHealthMonitor();
await healthMonitor.performHealthCheck();
// Test tool registry
const registry = DevUtils.createTestToolRegistry();
const tools = registry.getAvailableCommands();
```
### Architecture Validation
```javascript
import { DevUtils } from './src/server/index.js';
const server = await createRefactoredServerAsync();
const validation = DevUtils.validateArchitecture(server);
console.log(`Architecture compliance: ${validation.compliance}`);
```
### Performance Comparison
```javascript
import { Performance } from './src/server/index.js';
const comparison = await Performance.compareExecutionTime(
() => originalServer.handleToolCall(request),
() => refactoredServer.handleToolCall(request),
100
);
console.log(`Performance improvement: ${comparison.improvement.improvementPercent}%`);
```

## ๐ ๏ธ Development Workflow
### Adding New Tools
1. **Add to ToolRegistry**:
```javascript
this.addToolDefinition('new_tool', {
description: 'New tool description',
inputSchema: { /* schema */ },
handler: 'handlerName',
method: 'methodName'
});
```
2. **Create Command Class**:
```javascript
class NewToolCommand extends ToolCommand {
async execute(args, context) {
const handler = this.serviceLocator.get('handlerName');
return await handler.methodName(args);
}
}
```
3. **Register in ToolExecutor**:
```javascript
this.commands.set('new_tool', new NewToolCommand('new_tool', this.serviceLocator));
```
### Adding New Validation Strategies
1. **Create Strategy Class**:
```javascript
class NewValidationStrategy extends ValidationStrategy {
async validate(characteristics, strictMode) {
// Implementation
}
}
```
2. **Register in Handler**:
```javascript
this.validationStrategies.new_type = new NewValidationStrategy(this.kuzu);
```
## ๐จ Error Handling
The refactored architecture provides comprehensive error handling:
- **Service Level**: Each service handles its own errors
- **Middleware Level**: Error handling middleware in tool executor
- **Strategy Level**: Validation strategies provide error results
- **Factory Level**: Query builders validate before execution
- **Health Level**: Health monitor tracks and alerts on errors
## ๐ Monitoring and Observability
### Health Monitoring
- Component-specific health checks
- Historical health tracking
- Automated alerting system
- Performance metrics collection
### Metrics Collection
- Tool execution times
- Error rates by component
- Resource usage tracking
- Validation success rates
### Logging
- Structured logging with context
- Sanitized argument logging
- Performance tracking
- Error correlation
## ๐ง Configuration
The refactored server maintains backward compatibility with existing configuration:
```json
{
"mcp": {
"serverName": "mcp-vibe-coding-kg",
"serverVersion": "2.0.0"
},
"kuzu": {
"databasePath": "./kuzu_db"
},
"health": {
"checkInterval": 30000,
"healthThresholds": {
"maxResponseTime": 5000,
"maxErrorRate": 0.1
}
}
}
```
## ๐ฎ Future Enhancements
The modular architecture enables easy future enhancements:
1. **Plugin System**: Add tool plugins dynamically
2. **Distributed Architecture**: Split components across services
3. **Advanced Monitoring**: Integration with external monitoring systems
4. **A/B Testing**: Test different strategy implementations
5. **Caching Layer**: Add caching strategies to service locator
6. **Circuit Breaker**: Add resilience patterns to tool executor
