**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

# 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",
