# 🔒 Secure MCP Server

**Production-ready Multi-Context Protocol server with web search and persistent memory**

Works on **Windows, Linux, and Mac** - Built with Python for maximum security and compatibility.

## ✨ Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| 🔐 **Security First** | JWT authentication, rate limiting, input sanitization, encryption |
| 🧠 **Persistent Memory** | Vector database with semantic search using AI embeddings |
| 🔍 **Web Search** | Built-in web search (DuckDuckGo + optional Brave API) |
| 👥 **Multi-User** | Isolated memory spaces and authentication per user |
| 🪟 **Windows Ready** | Full support for Windows, Linux, and Mac |
| 🚀 **Easy Setup** | Automated installation with sensible defaults |

## 🎯 Quick Start

### Windows (5 minutes)
```cmd
setup.bat
venv\Scripts\activate
python manage_users.py
python src\server.py
```
**See [QUICKSTART_WINDOWS.md](QUICKSTART_WINDOWS.md) for detailed Windows instructions**

### Linux/Mac (5 minutes)
```bash
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh
source venv/bin/activate
python3 manage_users.py
python3 src/server.py
```
**See [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) for detailed Linux/Mac instructions**

## 📋 Requirements

- **Python 3.8+** ([Download](https://www.python.org/downloads/))
  - ⚠️ Windows: Check "Add Python to PATH" during installation
- 2GB RAM recommended
- Internet connection (for web search)

## 🛠️ What's Included

### MCP tools (memory, search, SwarmUI skills)

1. **`web_search`** - Search the internet for information
2. **`store_memory`** - Save information with tags for later
3. **`search_memory`** - Find memories using semantic search
4. **`get_recent_memories`** - Retrieve recent context
5. **`memory_stats`** - View storage statistics
6. **`clear_memories`** - Reset memory storage
7. **`delete_memory`** - Remove one memory by ID
8. **`list_swarmui_skills`** / **`get_swarmui_skill`** - Load SwarmUI agent skills from `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md` when `swarmui.path` or `SWARMUI_PATH` is set  
9. **SwarmUI HTTP API** (when `swarmui.api_url` or `SWARMUI_API_URL`): **`swarmui_get_queue_status`**, **`swarmui_list_models`**, **`swarmui_list_t2i_params`**, **`swarmui_generate_image`**, **`swarmui_interrupt`** — calls SwarmUI’s JSON `POST /API/...` (session + optional login). For broad compatibility, call `swarmui_list_models` with an empty arguments object (`{}`) first, then narrow by path/subtype if needed. `swarmui_generate_image` also auto-resolves nickname/partial model text to a valid model path by querying listmodels internally, and accepts a natural-language `instruction` string (it parses model/steps/cfg/resolution/images). It downloads outputs and returns **embedded MCP image content** so clients like LM Studio can render images directly in chat (rather than URL-only Markdown links); if the client sends a **progress token** with the tool call, queue/backend updates are sent while generation runs. See `config.example.yaml`.

### Core Components

- ✅ **MCP Server** (`src/server.py`) - Main server with stdio transport
- ✅ **Security Module** - JWT auth, encryption, rate limiting
- ✅ **Memory System** - Vector database with ChromaDB
- ✅ **Web Search** - DuckDuckGo (free) + Brave API (optional)
- ✅ **User Management** - CLI tool for user administration
- ✅ **Test Client** - Automated testing and verification

## 🔒 Security Features

- ✅ JWT token-based authentication (30-min expiration)
- ✅ Per-user rate limiting (60/min, 1000/hour)
- ✅ AES-256 encryption for sensitive data
- ✅ Bcrypt password hashing
- ✅ Input sanitization (prevents injection attacks)
- ✅ URL filtering for web search
- ✅ Isolated user memory spaces
- ✅ Comprehensive audit logging

## 🧪 Testing Your Server

### Automated Tests (Windows)
```cmd
venv\Scripts\activate
python test_client.py
```

### Automated Tests (Linux/Mac)
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
python test_client.py
```

### Interactive Mode
```cmd
python test_client.py --interactive
```

## 💡 Usage Example

```python
# Store a memory
await session.call_tool(
    "store_memory",
    arguments={
        "content": "User prefers Python and dark mode",
        "tags": ["preferences"]
    },
    meta={"user_id": "john"}
)

# Search memories
await session.call_tool(
    "search_memory",
    arguments={"query": "What are user preferences?"},
    meta={"user_id": "john"}
)

# Web search
await session.call_tool(
    "web_search",
    arguments={"query": "Python MCP tutorial"},
    meta={"user_id": "john"}
)
```

## 🔧 Configuration

Edit `.env` file for settings:

```env
# Security
JWT_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key

# Memory
MEMORY_DB_PATH=./data/memory_db
MEMORY_MAX_RESULTS=10

# Web Search
SEARCH_API_KEY=optional-brave-api-key
SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS=10

# Rate Limiting
RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE=60
RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR=1000
```

## 🪟 Windows-Specific Notes

### Python Installation
1. Download from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. **⚠️ IMPORTANT**: Check "Add Python to PATH" during installation
3. Restart Command Prompt after installation

### Running Scripts
- Use `python` (not `python3`)
- Use `\` for paths (e.g., `data\memory_db`)
- Activate venv: `venv\Scripts\activate`

### Claude Desktop Integration
Config file location: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "secure-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\secure-mcp-server\\src\\server.py"]
    }
  }
}
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Windows
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| "Python not recognized" | Add Python to PATH or reinstall with PATH option |
| Module errors | Run `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
| Activation fails | Use `venv\Scripts\activate.bat` |

### Linux/Mac
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Permission denied | Run `chmod +x setup.sh` |
| Module errors | Run `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
| Python version | Ensure Python 3.8+ with `python3 --version` |

### All Platforms
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Slow first run | Embedding model downloads once (~80MB) |
| Web search fails | Check internet; DuckDuckGo works without API key |
| Auth failures | Verify user exists with `manage_users.py` |

## 📊 Performance

- **Memory search**: <100ms for 1000 memories
- **Web search**: 1-3 seconds (network dependent)
- **Authentication**: <10ms
- **Supports**: Hundreds of concurrent users

## 🚨 Security Checklist

Before deploying:
- [ ] Change default admin password (admin/changeme123)
- [ ] Generate unique JWT_SECRET_KEY
- [ ] Generate unique ENCRYPTION_KEY
- [ ] Review rate limits in `.env`
- [ ] Enable logging and monitoring
- [ ] Backup `data/` directory regularly
- [ ] Keep dependencies updated
