# PyTorch Documentation Search MCP: Refactoring Implementation Summary
This document summarizes the refactoring implementation performed on the PyTorch Documentation Search MCP integration.
## Refactoring Goals
1. Consolidate duplicate MCP implementations
2. Standardize on MCP schema version 1.0
3. Streamline transport mechanisms
4. Improve code organization and maintainability
## Changes Implemented
### 1. Unified Server Implementation
- Created a single server implementation in `ptsearch/server.py`
- Eliminated duplicate code between `mcp_server_pytorch/server.py` and `ptsearch/mcp.py`
- Implemented support for both STDIO and SSE transports in one codebase
- Standardized search handler interface
### 2. Protocol Standardization
- Updated tool descriptor in `ptsearch/protocol/descriptor.py` to use schema version 1.0
- Consolidated all tool descriptor references to a single source of truth
- Standardized handling of filter enums with empty string as canonical representation
### 3. Transport Layer Improvements
- Enhanced transport implementations with better error handling
- Simplified the SSE transport implementation while maintaining compatibility
- Ensured consistent request/response handling across transports
### 4. Entry Point Standardization
- Updated `mcp_server_pytorch/__main__.py` to use the unified server implementation
- Maintained backward compatibility for existing entry points
- Streamlined the arguments handling for all script entry points
### 5. Script Updates
- Updated all shell scripts (`run_mcp.sh`, `run_mcp_uvx.sh`, `register_mcp.sh`) to use the new implementations
- Added better error handling and environment variable validation
- Ensured consistent paths and configuration across all integration methods
## Benefits of Refactoring
1. **Code Maintainability**: Single implementation reduces duplication and simplifies future changes
2. **Standards Compliance**: Consistent use of MCP schema 1.0 across all components
3. **Error Handling**: Improved logging and error reporting
4. **Deployment Flexibility**: Clear and consistent methods for different deployment scenarios
## Testing and Validation
All integration methods were tested:
1. STDIO transport using direct Python execution
2. SSE transport with Flask server
3. Command-line interfaces for both approaches
## Future Improvements
1. Enhanced caching for embedding generation to improve performance
2. Better search ranking algorithms
3. Support for more PyTorch documentation sources
## Conclusion
The refactoring provides a cleaner, more maintainable implementation of the PyTorch Documentation Search MCP integration with Claude Code, ensuring consistent behavior across different transport mechanisms and deployment scenarios.
