# FastMCP Cloud Setup Summary **Server**: cats-mcp-server **Date**: 2025-01-26 **Configuration Status**: ✅ Complete ## What Was Configured ### 1. FastMCP Cloud Manifest (`fastmcp.json`) Created declarative configuration for FastMCP Cloud deployment: **Location**: `/servers/business-productivity/cats-mcp-server/fastmcp.json` **Configuration Details**: - **Source**: `server.py` with entrypoint `mcp` - **Python Version**: `>=3.10` - **Dependencies**: Automatically installed from manifest - **Transport**: HTTP (port 3000) - **Endpoint**: `/mcp/` - **Environment Variables**: Interpolated with defaults **Key Features**: ```json { "deployment": { "transport": "http", "port": 3000, "env": { "CATS_API_KEY": "${CATS_API_KEY}", "CATS_TOOLSETS": "${CATS_TOOLSETS:-candidates,jobs,pipelines}" } } } ``` ### 2. Production Features Added to `server.py` Enhanced the server with production-ready capabilities: #### Structured Logging - **Logger**: `cats-mcp-server` - **Format**: `%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s` - **Levels**: DEBUG, INFO (default), WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL - **Configuration**: Via `LOG_LEVEL` environment variable #### Health Check Endpoint - **Path**: `/health` - **Method**: GET - **Response**: ```json { "status": "healthy", "service": "CATS MCP Server", "api_configured": true, "api_base_url": "https://api.catsone.com/v3" } ``` - **Use Cases**: Load balancers, uptime monitoring, deployment verification #### Enhanced Error Handling - **HTTP Status Errors**: Detailed error messages with status codes - **Timeout Errors**: Specific timeout error handling - **Rate Limiting**: Logs remaining rate limit from headers - **Structured Logging**: All errors logged with context ### 3. Environment Configuration Updated `.env.example` with comprehensive documentation: ```bash # Required CATS_API_KEY=your_cats_api_key_here # Optional with defaults CATS_TOOLSETS=candidates,jobs,pipelines,context,tasks CATS_TRANSPORT=stdio CATS_HOST=0.0.0.0 CATS_PORT=8000 LOG_LEVEL=INFO ``` ### 4. Documentation Created and updated documentation: #### New Files: - **`FASTMCP_CLOUD_DEPLOYMENT.md`**: Complete FastMCP Cloud deployment guide - Prerequisites - Step-by-step deployment - Configuration details - Monitoring and logs - Troubleshooting - Advanced features #### Updated Files: - **`DEPLOYMENT.md`**: Added FastMCP Cloud as recommended option - **`README.md`**: Highlighted FastMCP Cloud deployment ## Deployment Workflow ### For FastMCP Cloud: 1. **Prerequisites**: - GitHub repository - CATS API key - FastMCP Cloud account 2. **Setup**: ```bash # Ensure fastmcp.json exists (already created ✓) git add fastmcp.json git commit -m "Add FastMCP Cloud configuration" git push origin main ``` 3. **Deploy**: - Go to https://fastmcp.app - Create new project - Connect GitHub repository - Set `CATS_API_KEY` environment variable - Deploy automatically 4. **Access**: - MCP Endpoint: `https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/mcp` - Health Check: `https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/health` ### For Local Development: ```bash # Install dependencies pip install fastmcp httpx python-dotenv # Configure cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with CATS_API_KEY # Run export CATS_TRANSPORT=http python server.py ``` ## Environment Variables for FastMCP Cloud Set these in the FastMCP Cloud dashboard: **Required**: - `CATS_API_KEY`: Your CATS API v3 key **Optional** (have defaults): - `CATS_TOOLSETS`: Comma-separated toolsets (default: `candidates,jobs,pipelines`) - `LOG_LEVEL`: Logging verbosity (default: `INFO`) **Not Needed** (configured in `fastmcp.json`): - ~~`CATS_TRANSPORT`~~ - Set to `http` in manifest - ~~`CATS_HOST`~~ - Set to `0.0.0.0` in manifest - ~~`CATS_PORT`~~ - Set to `3000` in manifest ## Production Features ### Monitoring **Health Check**: ```bash curl https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/health ``` **Expected Response**: ```json { "status": "healthy", "service": "CATS MCP Server", "api_configured": true, "api_base_url": "https://api.catsone.com/v3" } ``` ### Logging **Structured Logs**: ``` 2025-01-26 10:30:15 - cats-mcp-server - INFO - Loading toolsets: candidates, jobs, pipelines 2025-01-26 10:30:15 - cats-mcp-server - INFO - ✓ candidates (28 tools) 2025-01-26 10:30:15 - cats-mcp-server - INFO - HTTP Server starting at http://0.0.0.0:3000/mcp ``` **Log Levels**: - `DEBUG`: Request/response details, rate limits - `INFO`: Normal operations (default) - `WARNING`: Unexpected situations - `ERROR`: Errors requiring attention - `CRITICAL`: Severe failures ### Error Handling - **HTTP Errors**: Status code and response body logged - **Timeouts**: Specific timeout error messages - **Rate Limits**: Automatically logs remaining quota - **API Errors**: Detailed error context ## Validation Results All configurations validated successfully: ✅ `fastmcp.json` - Valid JSON, correct schema ✅ `server.py` - Valid Python syntax ✅ `requirements.txt` - All dependencies available ✅ `.env.example` - Comprehensive template ✅ Documentation - Complete deployment guides ## Testing Commands ### Validate Configuration: ```bash # Validate JSON python -m json.tool fastmcp.json # Validate Python syntax python -m py_compile server.py # Check dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Local Testing: ```bash # Set environment export CATS_API_KEY="your_key" export CATS_TRANSPORT="http" export LOG_LEVEL="INFO" # Run server python server.py # Test health endpoint curl http://localhost:8000/health # Test MCP endpoint curl http://localhost:8000/mcp ``` ### Test with fastmcp CLI: ```bash # Run with fastmcp.json fastmcp run # Test with specific toolsets export CATS_TOOLSETS="candidates,jobs" fastmcp run ``` ## Toolset Configuration Control which tools load via `CATS_TOOLSETS`: **Default** (89 tools): ``` CATS_TOOLSETS=candidates,jobs,pipelines,context,tasks ``` **Minimal** (28 tools): ``` CATS_TOOLSETS=candidates ``` **Full** (162 tools): ``` CATS_TOOLSETS=all ``` **Custom**: ``` CATS_TOOLSETS=candidates,jobs,companies,webhooks ``` ## Continuous Deployment FastMCP Cloud automatically redeploys on: - **Push to main** → Production deployment - **Pull request** → Preview URL - **Merge PR** → Production update ## Security Production security features: - ✅ **HTTPS/TLS**: Automatic with FastMCP Cloud - ✅ **API Key**: Environment variable, not in code - ✅ **Rate Limiting**: Logged and monitored - ✅ **Error Handling**: No sensitive data in errors - ✅ **Health Checks**: Status monitoring ## Next Steps 1. **Test Locally**: ```bash python server.py --list-toolsets export CATS_TRANSPORT=http python server.py ``` 2. **Push to GitHub**: ```bash git add . git commit -m "Add FastMCP Cloud deployment configuration" git push origin main ``` 3. **Deploy to FastMCP Cloud**: - Create project at https://fastmcp.app - Set `CATS_API_KEY` environment variable - Deploy 4. **Verify Deployment**: ```bash curl https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/health ``` 5. **Connect Clients**: - Update `.mcp.json` with cloud URL - Test tool listing - Execute sample operations ## Support Resources - **FastMCP Cloud Guide**: [FASTMCP_CLOUD_DEPLOYMENT.md](./FASTMCP_CLOUD_DEPLOYMENT.md) - **General Deployment**: [DEPLOYMENT.md](./DEPLOYMENT.md) - **Server README**: [README.md](./README.md) - **FastMCP Docs**: https://gofastmcp.com/ - **CATS API Docs**: https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/ ## Summary The cats-mcp-server is now fully configured for FastMCP Cloud deployment with: - ✅ Declarative `fastmcp.json` configuration - ✅ Production-ready logging and monitoring - ✅ Health check endpoint - ✅ Enhanced error handling - ✅ Comprehensive documentation - ✅ Environment variable templates - ✅ Validated configuration files **Ready for deployment to FastMCP Cloud!**
