## πŸš€ Getting Started

### Deployment Prerequisites

Before running Adaptive Graph of Thoughts (either locally or via Docker if not using the provided `docker-compose.prod.yml` which includes Neo4j), ensure you have:

-   **A running Neo4j Instance**: Adaptive Graph of Thoughts requires a connection to a Neo4j graph database.
    -   **APOC Library**: Crucially, the Neo4j instance **must** have the APOC (Awesome Procedures On Cypher) library installed. Several Cypher queries within the application's reasoning stages utilize APOC procedures (e.g., `apoc.create.addLabels`, `apoc.merge.node`). Without APOC, the application will not function correctly. You can find installation instructions on the [official APOC website](https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/installation/).
    -   **Configuration**: Ensure that your `config/settings.yaml` (or corresponding environment variables) correctly points to your Neo4j instance URI, username, and password.
    -   **Indexing**: For optimal performance, ensure appropriate Neo4j indexes are created. You can run `python scripts/run_cypher_migrations.py` to apply the provided Cypher migrations automatically. See [Neo4j Indexing Strategy](docs_src/neo4j_indexing.md) for details.

    *Note: The provided `docker-compose.yml` (for development) and `docker-compose.prod.yml` (for production) already include a Neo4j service with the APOC library pre-configured, satisfying this requirement when using Docker Compose.*

### Prerequisites

- **Python 3.11+** (as specified in `pyproject.toml`, e.g., the Docker image uses Python 3.11.x or 3.12.x, 3.13.x)
- **[Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation)**: For dependency management
- **[Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started)** and **[Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)**: For containerized deployment

### Installation and Setup (Local Development)

1. **Clone the repository**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/SaptaDey/Adaptive-Graph-of-Thoughts-MCP-server.git
   cd Adaptive-Graph-of-Thoughts-MCP-server
   ```

2. **Install dependencies using Poetry**:
   ```bash
   poetry install
   ```
   This creates a virtual environment and installs all necessary packages specified in `pyproject.toml`.

3. **Activate the virtual environment**:
   ```bash
   poetry shell
   ```

4. **Configure the application**:
   ```bash
   # Copy example configuration
   cp config/settings.example.yaml config/settings.yaml
   
   # Edit configuration as needed
   vim config/settings.yaml
   ```

5. **Set up environment variables** (optional):
   ```bash
   # Create .env file for sensitive configuration
   echo "LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG" > .env
   echo "API_HOST=0.0.0.0" >> .env
   echo "API_PORT=8000" >> .env
   ```

### Secret Management

In production environments, set the `SECRETS_PROVIDER` environment variable to
`aws`, `gcp`, or `vault` to fetch sensitive values from a supported secrets
manager. Optionally provide `<VAR>_SECRET_NAME` variables (for example
`OPENAI_API_KEY_SECRET_NAME`) to control the name of each secret. When a secrets
provider is configured, values for `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, and
`NEO4J_PASSWORD` are loaded automatically at startup.

6. **Run the development server**:
   ```bash
   python src/adaptive_graph_of_thoughts/main.py
   ```
   
   Alternatively, for more control:
   ```bash
   uvicorn adaptive_graph_of_thoughts.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
   ```
   
   The API will be available at `http://localhost:8000`.

## ✨ Setup Wizard

An interactive wizard is available to streamline initial configuration.

```bash
poetry run python -m agt_setup
```

Then visit `http://localhost:8000/setup` to complete the web-based steps.

*Setup wizard demo GIF will appear here in the full documentation.*

| `analyze_research_hypothesis` | Hypothesis evaluation with confidence scoring |
| `explore_scientific_relationships` | Concept relationship mapping |
| `validate_scientific_claims` | Evidence-based claim validation |


## πŸ”Œ API Endpoints

The primary API endpoints exposed by Adaptive Graph of Thoughts are:

- **MCP Protocol Endpoint**: `POST /mcp`
  - This endpoint is used for communication with MCP clients like Claude Desktop.
  - Example Request for the `asr_got.query` method:
    ```json
    {
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "method": "asr_got.query",
      "params": {
        "query": "Analyze the relationship between microbiome diversity and cancer progression.",
        "parameters": {
          "include_reasoning_trace": true,
          "include_graph_state": false
        }
      },
      "id": "123"
    }
    ```
  - Other supported MCP methods include `initialize` and `shutdown`.

- **Health Check Endpoint**: `GET /health`
  - Provides a simple health status of the application.
  - Example Response:
    ```json
    {
      "status": "healthy",
      "version": "0.1.0" 
    }
    ```

The advanced API endpoints previously listed (e.g., `/api/v1/graph/query`) are not implemented in the current version and are reserved for potential future development.

## Session Handling (`session_id`)

Currently, the `session_id` parameter available in API requests (e.g., for `asr_got.query`) and present in responses serves primarily to identify and track a single, complete query-response cycle. It is also used for correlating progress notifications (like `got/queryProgress`) with the originating query.

While the system generates and utilizes `session_id`s, Adaptive Graph of Thoughts does not currently support true multi-turn conversational continuity where the detailed graph state or reasoning context from a previous query is automatically loaded and reused for a follow-up query using the same `session_id`. Each query is processed independently at this time.

### Future Enhancement: Persistent Sessions

A potential future enhancement for Adaptive Graph of Thoughts is the implementation of persistent sessions. This would enable more interactive and evolving reasoning processes by allowing users to:

1.  **Persist State:** Store the generated graph state and relevant reasoning context from a query, associated with its `session_id`, likely within the Neo4j database.
2.  **Reload State:** When a new query is submitted with an existing `session_id`, the system could reload this saved state as the starting point for further processing.
3.  **Refine and Extend:** Allow the new query to interact with the loaded graphβ€”for example, by refining previous hypotheses, adding new evidence to existing structures, or exploring alternative reasoning paths based on the established context.

Implementing persistent sessions would involve developing robust strategies for:
*   Efficiently storing and retrieving session-specific graph data in Neo4j.
*   Managing the lifecycle (e.g., creation, update, expiration) of session data.
*   Designing sophisticated logic for how new queries merge with, modify, or extend pre-existing session contexts and graphs.

This is a significant feature that could greatly enhance the interactive capabilities of Adaptive Graph of Thoughts. Contributions from the community in designing and implementing persistent session functionality are welcome.

### Future Enhancement: Asynchronous and Parallel Stage Execution

Currently, the 8 stages of the Adaptive Graph of Thoughts reasoning pipeline are executed sequentially. For complex queries or to further optimize performance, exploring asynchronous or parallel execution for certain parts of the pipeline is a potential future enhancement.

**Potential Areas for Parallelism:**

*   **Hypothesis Generation:** The `HypothesisStage` generates hypotheses for each dimension identified by the `DecompositionStage`. The process of generating hypotheses for *different, independent dimensions* could potentially be parallelized. For instance, if three dimensions are decomposed, three parallel tasks could work on generating hypotheses for each respective dimension.
*   **Evidence Integration (Partial):** Within the `EvidenceStage`, if multiple hypotheses are selected for evaluation, the "plan execution" phase (simulated evidence gathering) for these different hypotheses might be performed concurrently.

**Challenges and Considerations:**

Implementing parallel stage execution would introduce complexities that need careful management:

*   **Data Consistency:** Concurrent operations, especially writes to the Neo4j database (e.g., creating multiple hypothesis nodes or evidence nodes simultaneously), must be handled carefully to ensure data integrity and avoid race conditions. Unique ID generation schemes would need to be robust for parallel execution.
*   **Transaction Management:** Neo4j transactions for concurrent writes would need to be managed appropriately.
*   **Dependency Management:** Ensuring that stages (or parts of stages) that truly depend on the output of others are correctly sequenced would be critical.
*   **Resource Utilization:** Parallel execution could increase resource demands (CPU, memory, database connections).
*   **Complexity:** The overall control flow of the `GoTProcessor` would become more complex.

While the current sequential execution ensures a clear and manageable data flow, targeted parallelism in areas like hypothesis generation for independent dimensions could offer performance benefits for future versions of Adaptive Graph of Thoughts. This remains an open area for research and development.

### Development Commands

Continuous integration pipelines on GitHub Actions run tests, CodeQL analysis, and Microsoft Defender for DevOps security scans.


```bash
# Run full test suite with coverage using Poetry
poetry run pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html --cov-report=term

# Or using Makefile for the default test run
make test

# Run specific test categories (using poetry)
poetry run pytest tests/unit/stages/          # Stage-specific tests
poetry run pytest tests/integration/         # Integration tests
poetry run pytest -k "test_confidence"       # Tests matching pattern

# Type checking and linting (can also be run via Makefile targets: make lint, make check-types)
poetry run mypy src/ --strict                # Strict type checking
poetry run ruff check . --fix                # Auto-fix linting issues
poetry run ruff format .                     # Format code

# Pre-commit hooks (recommended)
poetry run pre-commit install                # Install hooks
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files       # Run all hooks (runs Ruff and MyPy)

# See Makefile for other useful targets like 'make all-checks'.
```

## πŸ’» IDE Integration

Use the `vscode-agot` extension to query the server from VS Code. Run the extension and execute **AGoT: Ask Graph…** from the Command Palette.

## ❓ Troubleshooting

If the server fails to start or setup reports errors, ensure your Neo4j instance is running and the credentials in `.env` are correct. Consult the console output for details.
