# Solana Metrics MCP Server - Project Summary
## 🎯 Project Overview
Built a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in TypeScript for analyzing Solana metrics from InfluxDB databases, categorizing them, and generating Grafana dashboards. The server is designed to work entirely within VS Code and is ready for open-source sharing.

## 🔧 Core Features
### MCP Tools Implemented
1. **`list_metrics`** - Discover available metrics from InfluxDB
2. **`analyze_metrics`** - Analyze and categorize metrics with insights
3. **`generate_dashboard`** - Generate Grafana dashboard JSON configurations
4. **`search_rust_code`** - Search Rust code for metric-related patterns
### Key Capabilities
- ✅ InfluxDB integration with parameterized queries
- ✅ Metric categorization (Performance, Network, Consensus, etc.)
- ✅ Grafana dashboard generation with proper panel configurations
- ✅ Rust code analysis for metric discovery
- ✅ VS Code integration with tasks and configuration
- ✅ CLI access via shell script
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling and logging
## 🔐 Security & Sanitization
- ✅ All hostnames replaced with generic placeholders
- ✅ No sensitive credentials in codebase
- ✅ Environment variables properly templated
- ✅ Ready for public or private repository sharing
## 🚀 Usage Methods
### Method 1: VS Code Tasks
- `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Tasks: Run Task"
- Available tasks: build, test, run-server, list-metrics, analyze-metrics, generate-dashboard, search-rust-code
### Method 2: CLI Script
```bash
./vs-code-usage.sh list_metrics
./vs-code-usage.sh analyze_metrics
./vs-code-usage.sh generate_dashboard
./vs-code-usage.sh search_rust_code
```
### Method 3: Direct Node.js
```bash
npm run build
node build/index.js
```
## 📋 Setup Instructions
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- TypeScript
- InfluxDB access (optional - works with mock data)
### Installation
```bash
git clone [repository-url]
cd solana-metrics-mcp-server
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your InfluxDB credentials
npm run build
npm test
```
### Environment Configuration
```bash
# .env file
INFLUX_URL=http://your-influxdb-server:8086
INFLUX_TOKEN=your_influxdb_token
INFLUX_ORG=your_organization
INFLUX_BUCKET=your_bucket
RUST_CODE_PATH=/path/to/rust/code
```
## 🧪 Testing
### Automated Testing
```bash
npm test # Run simple test
npm run test:verbose # Run with detailed output
```
### Manual Testing
```bash
# Test individual tools
./vs-code-usage.sh list_metrics
./vs-code-usage.sh analyze_metrics '{"categories": ["performance", "network"]}'
./vs-code-usage.sh generate_dashboard '{"title": "Test Dashboard", "metrics": ["slot_height", "tx_count"]}'
./vs-code-usage.sh search_rust_code '{"pattern": "metrics", "file_extension": "rs"}'
```
## 🔄 Workflow Integration
### With InfluxDB
1. Configure environment variables
2. Run `list_metrics` to discover available metrics
3. Use `analyze_metrics` to categorize and understand metrics
4. Generate dashboards with `generate_dashboard`
5. Search related Rust code with `search_rust_code`
### Without InfluxDB (Mock Mode)
- All tools provide realistic mock data
- Perfect for testing and development
- No external dependencies required
## 📊 Sample Outputs
### Metrics Discovery
```json
{
"metrics": [
{"name": "slot_height", "type": "gauge", "category": "consensus"},
{"name": "transaction_count", "type": "counter", "category": "performance"},
{"name": "validator_stake", "type": "gauge", "category": "network"}
],
"total_count": 25,
"categories": ["consensus", "performance", "network", "system"]
}
```
### Dashboard Generation
```json
{
"dashboard": {
"title": "Solana Performance Dashboard",
"panels": [
{
"title": "Slot Height",
"type": "graph",
"targets": [{"expr": "SELECT slot_height FROM metrics"}]
}
]
}
}
```
## 🔗 GitHub Repository
### Pushing to GitHub
