## Features

The server exposes the following Red Hat API tools:

1. **Search Red Hat KCS Solutions** - Search for knowledge base solutions
2. **Get Solution by ID** - Retrieve full solution content
3. **Search Red Hat Cases** - Find cases matching a query
4. **Get Case Details** - Retrieve detailed information about a specific case

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.13 or higher
- [UV package manager](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended Python package manager)
- Red Hat API offline token (obtained from your Red Hat account)

## Installation

### 1. Install UV (if not already installed)

### 2. Clone and Setup Project
```bash
git clone https://github.com/fnarel/hydra-mcp-server.git
cd hydra-mcp-server
uv sync
```

## Configuration

### 1. Get Your Red Hat API Token
1. Visit the [Red Hat API Token Management page](https://access.redhat.com/management/api) per [KCS](https://access.redhat.com/articles/3626371)
2. Log in to your Red Hat account
3. Generate an offline token
4. Copy and save the token securely

### 2. Environment Setup
Create a `.env` file in the project root with your Red Hat API token:

```bash
# Create .env file
echo "RH_API_OFFLINE_TOKEN=your_offline_token_here" > .env
```

Replace `your_offline_token_here` with your actual offline token from step 1.


## Usage

### Developing with the MCP Inspector

You can test the server using the MCP development tools:

```bash
uv run mcp dev redhat_mcp_server.py
```

This will start the MCP inspector, allowing you to interact with your tools interactively.

### Integrating with Claude Desktop

To install the server in Claude Desktop, add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redhat": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/your/redhat-api-mcp",
        "run",
        "redhat_mcp_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "RH_API_OFFLINE_TOKEN": "your_actual_offline_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```


## Available Tools

**Returns:** List of solution objects with id, title, score, and view_uri

### get_kcs

Get a Red Hat solution by its ID and extract structured content.

```python
get_kcs(solution_id: str) -> Dict
```

**Parameters:**
- `solution_id` (str): The KCS solution ID

**Returns:** Dictionary with title, environment, issue, resolution, and root_cause

### search_cases

Search for Red Hat support cases.

```python
search_cases(query: str, rows: int = 10, start: int = 0) -> List[Dict]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (str): Search terms
- `rows` (int, optional): Number of results to return (default: 10)
- `start` (int, optional): Starting index for pagination (default: 0)

**Returns:** List of case objects with case_number, summary, status, product, etc.

### get_case

Get detailed information about a specific Red Hat support case.

```python
get_case(case_number: str) -> Dict
```

**Parameters:**
- `case_number` (str): The Red Hat case number (e.g., "01234567")

- **Case Resolution**: Provides investigation workflows
- **Multi-phase Analysis**: Advanced case resolution protocols

### Custom Configuration

You can override default API endpoints by adding these to your `.env` file:

```bash
# Optional: Custom API endpoints
