# Smithery.ai Deployment Fixes
This document outlines the changes made to fix deployment issues with Smithery.ai.
## Issue Summary
The original error message from Smithery.ai indicated that our server was not properly implementing the required MCP (Model Capabilities Provider) specification. Specifically:
- The server was implemented as a REST API rather than a JSON-RPC service
- Required MCP endpoints like `tools/list` and `tools/call` were missing
- Server logs contained non-JSON formatted output that interfered with MCP JSON-RPC initialization
- Automatic build config generation failed
## Changes Made
### 1. Added JSON-RPC Support
- Implemented JSON-RPC request/response handling with proper validation
- Added interfaces for `JsonRpcRequest` and `JsonRpcResponse`
- Created proper error handling for JSON-RPC responses
### 2. Implemented Required MCP Endpoints
- Added `/tools/list` endpoint to expose available tools
- Added `/tools/call` endpoint to execute tool operations
- Defined tool schema for each memory operation (store, retrieve, search, delete, etc.)
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing REST API endpoints
### 3. Fixed Logging Format
- Updated logger configuration to ensure all logs are in JSON format
- Replaced string template literals with structured JSON objects in log calls
- Made console and file logging consistent to avoid JSON parsing issues
### 4. Added Smithery.ai Configuration
- Created `smithery.json` with proper MCP configuration
- Included tool definitions that match the server implementation
- Specified build and start commands for deployment
### 5. Updated Documentation
- Updated README.md to include information about JSON-RPC endpoints
- Added deployment instructions for Smithery.ai
- Clarified the purpose of each component in the project
## Testing
Before deploying to Smithery.ai again, you can test the JSON-RPC endpoints locally:
### Test tools/list endpoint:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/tools/list \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}'
```
### Test tools/call endpoint:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/tools/call \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "list_memories", "parameters": {}}}'
```
## Next Steps
1. Rebuild the project with `npm run build`
2. Test locally to ensure JSON-RPC endpoints work correctly
3. Deploy the updated version to Smithery.ai
4. Check deployment logs for any remaining issues
