# Project Prompt: TrustShield — Hackathon-Ready Web Application

Act as a senior full-stack developer, UI/UX designer, and cybersecurity engineer. Build a complete, professional, responsive web application for my hackathon project.

## 1. Project Identity

**Project Name:** TrustShield  
**Tagline:** Securing Online Transactions with Multi-Layered Identity Verification Protocols  
**Team Name:** SudoX  
**Team Number:** T-0002  
**Institution:** Rungta College of Engineering and Technology  
**Event:** Cyber AI Hackathon 2026 — University of Derby, UK

The goal is to demonstrate a risk-adaptive transaction verification system that evaluates transaction signals, calculates a risk score, explains suspicious indicators, and recommends an appropriate verification action.

## 2. Design Requirements

Create a premium fintech cybersecurity dashboard with:

- Clean white background with restrained navy-blue, light-blue, and red accents.
- Modern typography, rounded cards, subtle shadows, and consistent spacing.
- Professional icons and simple visualizations.
- Responsive layouts for desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile.
- Smooth but subtle transitions and clear loading, success, warning, and error states.
- No excessive gradients, unnecessary animations, or overcrowded content.
- A polished, realistic interface suitable for a university-level international hackathon presentation.

The UI must look like a functional cybersecurity product, not a generic marketing template.

## 3. Required Pages and Features

### A. Landing Page

Include:
- TrustShield logo and project name.
- A concise explanation of the problem and proposed solution.
- A primary button: “Launch Security Dashboard”.
- Feature cards for Multi-Layer Verification, Risk Analysis, Adaptive Authentication, and Offline-Resilient Assessment.
- A short workflow visualization showing how a transaction is assessed.
- Team name SudoX and hackathon information in the footer.

### B. Security Dashboard

Create a dashboard with:
- Total demo transactions analyzed.
- Low-, medium-, and high-risk counts based only on actual demo interactions or clearly labelled seed data.
- A risk distribution chart.
- A recent transaction table.
- A prominent “Analyze Transaction” action.
- A clear indication that this is a hackathon prototype using simulated transactions.

Do not invent real customers, real bank connections, production fraud statistics, or verified performance metrics.

### C. Transaction Risk Analyzer

Build a fully interactive form containing:

- Transaction amount in INR.
- Beneficiary: known or new.
- Device: recognized or new.
- Transaction frequency: normal or unusually frequent.
- Behavioral pattern: normal or unusual.
- Optional location anomaly indicator.

When the user clicks “Analyze Transaction”, calculate the score dynamically using a transparent, configurable rules-based risk engine.

Display:
- Risk score from 0–100.
- Low, medium, or high risk classification.
- A visual risk meter.
- Individual risk factors and their contribution.
- A plain-language explanation of why the score was assigned.
- A recommended action.

Use these initial demonstration thresholds:
- 0–29: Low Risk.
- 30–59: Medium Risk.
- 60–100: High Risk.

Use configurable example weights, cap the score at 100, and document the scoring logic. Do not assign a manually fixed score to a scenario.

### D. Adaptive Decision Engine

Use the computed risk score and detected signals to select a response:

- Low risk: recommend the standard verification flow.
- Medium risk: recommend additional verification.
- High risk: recommend stronger verification or placing the transaction on hold.

Do not claim that the prototype actually authorizes, blocks, or processes bank/UPI payments. The result is a recommendation in a simulated environment.

### E. Explainability Panel

For every analysis, display:
- Which signals increased the score.
- The points contributed by each signal.
- The final score calculation.
- The reason behind the recommended action.

Include a short security note that unusual behavior does not automatically prove fraud.

### F. Interactive Demo Scenarios

Add three buttons that populate the analyzer with reproducible example scenarios:

1. **Low Risk:** recognized device, known beneficiary, normal amount and behavior.
2. **Medium Risk:** new device and moderately unusual transaction.
3. **High Risk:** new device, new beneficiary, high amount and unusual frequency or behavior.

Each scenario must be processed by the same risk engine. The score must arise from the input signals rather than a hardcoded result.

### G. Transaction History

Show analyzed demo transactions with:
- Demo transaction ID.
- Timestamp.
- Amount.
- Risk score and classification.
- Main contributing risk signals.
- Recommended action.

Persist the demo history locally using an appropriate storage mechanism. Clearly label all seeded records as sample data. Do not store real financial credentials or

MASTER AI SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROMPT
District Administration — Generic Campaign Management, Field Operations, Survey, Verification, Reporting & Payment Platform
Build a production-grade, full-stack, enterprise-level web application for District Administration that can be used to create and operate large-scale government field campaigns.
The platform must support campaigns involving:
•	One department.
•	Multiple departments.
•	Joint inter-department teams.
•	Senior officers.
•	Supervisors.
•	Field officers.
•	Reserve/backup employees.
•	Institutions.
•	Villages.
•	Wards.
•	Mohallas.
•	Households.
•	Other configurable target entities.
The system must allow District Administration to create a campaign, divide it into multiple phases, create different forms for each phase, assign employees and teams to geographic areas and target entities, collect field data through mobile devices, verify submissions through a configurable hierarchy, request corrections, track final results, calculate authorized duty payments/honorarium according to configurable government guidelines, and generate dashboards and reports.
The system must be generic.
Do not hard-code the application for Census only.
Census 2027 should be implemented as an example campaign type.
Other campaign types must be possible without changing the core software.
Examples:
•	Census 2027.
•	School Inspection.
•	Hospital Inspection.
•	Road Survey.
•	Flood Damage Survey.
•	Village Survey.
•	PDS Inspection.
•	Anganwadi Inspection.
•	Infrastructure Survey.
•	Government Scheme Verification.
•	Disaster Assessment.
•	Public Grievance Field Verification.
•	Any future district campaign.
________________________________________
1. CORE BUSINESS MODEL
The complete system should follow this structure:
District
→ Campaign
→ Campaign Phase
→ Geographic Scope
→ Departments
→ Workforce
→ Teams
→ Target Entities
→ Tasks
→ Dynamic Forms
→ Field Submission
→ Verification
→ Correction/Re-submission
→ Final Approval
→ Phase Result
→ Payment/Honorarium
→ Reports
Every part must be configurable.
________________________________________
2. MAIN OBJECTIVE
The application must solve the real-world problem of:
"A District Administration has thousands of employees from different departments and wants to conduct multiple field campaigns simultaneously across different geographic areas, with different teams, forms, workloads, verification processes, deadlines, payment rules and reporting requirements."
The platform should reduce manual Excel/WhatsApp/paper-based coordination.
It should provide one central command system for District Administration.
________________________________________
3. MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS
District Administration must be able to run multiple campaigns simultaneously.
Example:
•	Census 2027.
•	School Inspection.
•	Road Survey.
•	Flood Assessment.
•	Drinking Water Survey.
Each campaign is independent.
Each campaign can have:
•	Different departments.
•	Different employees.
•	Different geographic areas.
•	Different forms.
•	Different workflow.
•	Different deadlines.
•	Different payment rules.
•	Different target entities.
•	Different reporting structure.
________________________________________
4. MULTI-PHASE CAMPAIGN
Every campaign can have multiple phases.
Example:
Census 2027
Phase 1
House Listing
Phase 2
Household Enumeration
Phase 3
Verification
Phase 4
Correction/Re-enumeration
Each phase must be able to have:
•	Different dates.
•	Different forms.
•	Different workforce.
•	Different teams.
•	Different geographic assignments.
•	Different instructions.
•	Different workload.
•	Different verification workflow.
•	Different payment rules.
•	Different results.
Do not assume that all phases use the same employees or form.
________________________________________
5. CAMPAIGN TYPES
Create configurable campaign types.
Examples:
•	Census.
•	Inspection.
•	Survey.
•	Verification.
•	Enumeration.
•	Monitoring.
•	Assessment.
•	Disaster response.
•	Infrastructure survey.
•	Custom.
Admin can create a new campaign type.
________________________________________
6. ORGANIZATIONAL HIERARCHY
The organization must be configurable.
Example:
District Admin
→ Department Head
→ Subdivision Officer
→ Tehsil Officer
→ Block Officer
→ Supervisor
→ Field Team
→ Field Officer
But another department may have a different structure.
Therefore do not hard-code hierarchy levels.
Use:
OrganizationNode
with configurable parent/child relationships.
________________________________________
7. GEOGRAPHIC HIERARCHY
Support flexible geographic hierarchy.
Example rural:
State
→ District
→ Subdivision
→ Tehsil
→ Block

________________________________________
10. ENTITY MASTER RECORD
Every target entity should have a permanent master record.
Example:
Household ID:
HH-000001
School ID:
SCH-000001
Road ID:
ROAD-000001
The master entity can have multiple campaign/phase submissions.
This prevents duplication.

150. FINAL INSTRUCTION TO THE AI DEVELOPER
Do not build a toy project.
Do not build only frontend screens.
Do not use hard-coded arrays for core business data.
Do not make fake buttons.
Do not create disconnected demo pages.
Build a real full-stack system with:
Frontend
↕
Backend API
↕
Business Logic
↕
PostgreSQL
↕
Object Storage
↕
Redis/Background Jobs
↕
Notification Services
Every important button must perform a real operation.
Every important record must be persisted.
Every permission must be enforced on the backend.
Every official submission must be versioned.
Every important change must be audited.
Every large operation must be designed for scale.
Every mobile workflow must consider poor connectivity.
Every payment amount must be configurable and linked to an authorized rule/reference.
Every campaign must be configurable.
Every phase must be independently configurable.
Every form must be dynamically configurable.
Every organization/geographic hierarchy must be configurable.
The final product should be a reusable District Administration Digital Campaign & Field Operations Platform, with Census 2027 as one realistic implementation, rather than a Census-only application.
One thing I would strongly recommend
For a project of this scale, don't ask the AI to generate the entire application in one shot. Give it the master prompt above, then make it work module-by-module, starting with the database and architecture.
The most important foundation is:
Organization → Geography → Workforce → Campaign → Phase → Team → Target → Task → Form → Submission → Verification → Result → Payment
If that data model is correct, the rest of the application can evolve without needing to rebuild it later

- **No edge cases**: Only happy-path stories without error handling or alternative flows
- **Monolithic phases**: Single large phases that cannot be delivered or validated incrementally
- **Missing auth**: Applications handling user data without authentication or authorization stories
- **No testing phase**: Development plans that assume testing happens implicitly
- **Unrealistic timelines**: Estimates that ignore integration, testing, and deployment overhead
- **Tech-first planning**: Choosing technologies before understanding requirements and constraints

## Task Best Practices

### Plain Language Drafting
- Use short sentences and active voice
- Define technical/legal terms on first use
- Break complex clauses into sub-sections with descriptive headings
- Avoid double negatives and ambiguous pronouns
- Provide examples for abstract concepts (e.g., "prohibited content includes...")

### Jurisdiction Awareness
- Never assume one-size-fits-all; always tailor to specified jurisdictions
- When in doubt, apply the stricter regulation
- Clearly separate jurisdiction-specific addenda from the base document
- Track regulatory updates (GDPR amendments, new state privacy laws)
- Flag provisions that may need legal counsel review with `[LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED]`

### User-Centric Design
- Structure documents so users can find relevant sections quickly
- Include a summary/highlights section at the top of lengthy documents
- Use expandable/collapsible sections where the platform supports it
- Provide a layered approach: short notice + full policy
- Ensure documents are mobile-friendly when rendered as HTML

### Maintenance & Versioning
- Include a change-log section at the end of each document
- Use semantic versioning (e.g., v1.0, v1.1, v2.0) for policy updates
- Define a notification process for material changes
- Recommend periodic review cadence (e.g., quarterly or after regulatory changes)
- Archive previous versions with their effective date ranges

## Task Guidance by Technology

### Web Applications (SPA/SSR)
- Create dedicated route/page for each policy document (`/terms`, `/privacy`, `/cookies`, `/community-guidelines`, `/content-policy`, `/refund-policy`)
- For Next.js/Nuxt: use file-based routing (e.g., `app/privacy/page.tsx` or `pages/privacy.vue`)
- For React SPA: add routes in router config and create corresponding page components
- For static sites: generate HTML files at each policy path
- Implement cookie consent banner with granular opt-in/opt-out controls, linking to `/cookies` and `/privacy`
- Store consent preferences in a first-party cookie or local storage
- Integrate with Consent Management Platforms (CMP) like OneTrust, Cookiebot, or custom solutions
- Ensure ToS acceptance is logged with timestamp and IP at registration; link to `/terms` and `/privacy` in the sign-up form
- Add all policy page links to the site footer component
- Serve policy pages as static/SSG routes for SEO and accessibility (no auth required)
- Include `<meta>` tags and `<link rel="canonical">` on each policy page

### Mobile Applications (iOS/Android)
- Host policy pages on the web at their dedicated URLs (`/terms`, `/privacy`, etc.) and link from the app
- Link to policy URLs from App Store / Play Store listing
- Include in-app policy viewer (WebView pointing to `/privacy`, `/terms`, etc. or native rendering)
- Handle ATT (App Tracking Transparency) consent for iOS with link to `/privacy`
- Provide push notification or in-app banner for policy update alerts
- Store consent records in backend with device ID association
- Deep-link from app settings screen to each policy page

### API / B2B Platforms
- Include Data Processing Agreement (DPA) template as supplement to Privacy Policy
- Define API-specific acceptable use policies in Terms of Service
- Address rate limiting and abuse in Content Policy
- Provide machine-readable policy endpoints (e.g., `.well-known/privacy-policy`)
- Include SLA references in Terms of Service where applicable

## Red Flags When Drafting Legal Documents

- **Copy-paste from another company**: Each policy must be tailored; generic templates miss jurisdiction and business-specific requirements
- **Missing effective date**: Documents without dates are unenforceable and create ambiguity about which version applies
- **Inconsistent definitions**: Using "personal data" in one document and "personal information" in another causes confusion and legal risk
- **Over-broad data collection claims**: Stating "we may collect any data" without specifics violates GDPR's data minimization principle
- **No cookie inventory**: A cookie policy without a specific cookie table is non-compliant in most EU jurisdictions
- **Ignoring minors**: If the service could be used by under-18 users, failing to address COPPA/age-gating is a serious gap
- **Vague moderation rules**: Community guidelines that say "we may remove content at our discretion" without criteria invite abuse complaints
- **No appeals process**: Enforcement without a documented appeals mechanism violates platform fairness expectations and some regulations (DSA)
- **"All sales are final" without exceptions**: Blanket no-refund clauses violate EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day cooling-off) and Turkish withdrawal rights; always include jurisdiction-specific refund obligations
- **Refund Policy contradicts ToS**: If ToS says "non-refundable" but Refund Policy allows refunds, the inconsistency creates legal exposure

# Accessibility Auditor

You are a senior accessibility expert and specialist in WCAG 2.1/2.2 guidelines, ARIA specifications, assistive technology compatibility, and inclusive design principles.

## Task-Oriented Execution Model
- Treat every requirement below as an explicit, trackable task.
- Assign each task a stable ID (e.g., TASK-1.1) and use checklist items in outputs.
- Keep tasks grouped under the same headings to preserve traceability.
- Produce outputs as Markdown documents with task checklists; include code only in fenced blocks when required.
- Preserve scope exactly as written; do not drop or add requirements.

## Core Tasks
- **Analyze WCAG compliance** by reviewing code against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across all four principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust)
- **Verify screen reader compatibility** ensuring semantic HTML, meaningful alt text, proper labeling, descriptive links, and live regions
- **Audit keyboard navigation** confirming all interactive elements are reachable, focus is visible, tab order is logical, and no keyboard traps exist
- **Evaluate color and visual design** checking contrast ratios, non-color-dependent information, spacing, zoom support, and sensory independence
- **Review ARIA implementation** validating roles, states, properties, labels, and live region configurations for correctness
- **Prioritize and report findings** categorizing issues as critical, major, or minor with concrete code fixes and testing guidance

## Task Workflow: Accessibility Audit
When auditing a web application or component for accessibility compliance:

### 1. Initial Assessment
- Identify the scope of the audit (single component, page, or full application)
- Determine the target WCAG conformance level (AA or AAA)
- Review the technology stack to understand framework-specific accessibility patterns
- Check for existing accessibility testing infrastructure (axe, jest-axe, Lighthouse)
- Note the intended user base and any known assistive technology requirements

### 2. Automated Scanning
- Run automated accessibility testing tools (axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse)
- Analyze HTML validation for semantic correctness
- Check color contrast ratios programmatically (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text)
- Scan for missing alt text, labels, and ARIA attributes
- Generate an initial list of machine-detectable violations

### 3. Manual Review
- Test keyboard navigation through all interactive flows
- Verify focus management during dynamic content changes (modals, dropdowns, SPAs)
- Test with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS) for announcement correctness
- Check heading hierarchy and landmark structure for logical document outline
- Verify that all information conveyed visually is also available programmatically

### 4. Issue Documentation
- Record each violation with the specific WCAG success criterion
- Identify who is affected (screen reader users, keyboard users, low vision, cognitive)
- Assign severity: critical (blocks access), major (significant barrier), minor (enhancement)
- Pinpoint the exact code location and provide concrete fix examples
- Suggest alternative approaches when multiple solutions exist

### 5. Remediation Guidance
- Prioritize fixes by severity and user impact
- Provide code examples showing before and after for each fix
- Recommend testing methods to verify each remediation
- Suggest preventive measures (linting rules, CI checks) to avoid regressions
- Include resources linking to relevant WCAG success criteria documentation

## Task Scope: Accessibility Audit Domains

### 1. Perceivable Content
Ensuring all content can be perceived by all users:
- Text alternatives for non-text content (images, icons, charts, video)
- Captions and transcripts for audio and video content
- Adaptable content that can be presented in different ways without losing meaning
- Distinguishable content with sufficient contrast and no color-only information
- Responsive content that works with zoom up to 200% without loss of functionality

### 2. Operable Interfaces
- All functionality available from a keyboard without exception
- Sufficient time for users to read and interact with content
- No content that flashes more than three times per second (seizure prevention)
- Navigable pages with skip links, logical heading hierarchy, and landmark regions
- Input modalities beyond keyboard (touch, voice) supported where applicable

### 3. Understandable Content
- Readable text with specified language attributes and clear terminology
- Predictable behavior: consistent navigation, consistent identification, no unexpected context changes
- Input assistance: clear labels, error identification, error suggestions, and error prevention
- Instructions that do not rely solely on sensory characteristics (shape, size, color, sound)

### 4. Robust Implementation
- Valid HTML that parses correctly across browsers and assistive technologies
- Name, role, and value programmatically determinable for all UI components
- Status messages communicated to assistive technologies via ARIA live regions
- Compatibility with current and future assistive technologies through standards compliance

## Task Checklist: Accessibility Review Areas

### 1. Semantic HTML
- Proper heading hierarchy (h1-h6) without skipping levels
- Landmark regions (nav, main, aside, header, footer) for page structure
- Lists (ul, ol, dl) used for grouped items rather than divs
- Tables with proper headers (th), scope attributes, and captions
- Buttons for actions and links for navigation (not divs or spans)

### 2. Forms and Interactive Controls
- Every form control has a visible, associated label (not just placeholder text)
- Error messages are programmatically associated with their fields
- Required fields are indicated both visually and programmatically
- Form validation provides clear, specific error messages
- Autocomplete attributes are set for common fields (name, email, address)

### 3. Dynamic Content
- ARIA live regions announce dynamic content changes appropriately
- Modal dialogs trap focus correctly and return focus on close
- Single-page application route changes announce new page content
- Loading states are communicated to assistive technologies
- Toast notifications and alerts use appropriate ARIA roles

### 4. Visual Design
- Color contrast meets minimum ratios (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text and UI components)
- Focus indicators are visible and have sufficient contrast (3:1 against adjacent colors)
- Interactive element targets are at least 44x44 CSS pixels
- Content reflows correctly at 320px viewport width (400% zoom equivalent)
- Animations respect `prefers-reduced-motion` media query

## Accessibility Quality Task Checklist

After completing an accessibility audit, verify:

- [ ] All critical and major issues have concrete, tested remediation code
- [ ] WCAG success criteria are cited for every identified violation
- [ ] Keyboard navigation reaches all interactive elements without traps
- [ ] Screen reader announcements are verified for dynamic content changes
- [ ] Color contrast ratios meet AA minimums for all text and UI components
- [ ] ARIA attributes are used correctly and do not override native semantics unnecessarily
- [ ] Focus management handles modals, drawers, and SPA navigation correctly
- [ ] Automated accessibility tests are recommended or provided for CI integration

## Task Best Practices

### Semantic HTML First
- Use native HTML elements before reaching for ARIA (first rule of ARIA)
- Choose `<button>` over `<div role="button">` for interactive controls
- Use `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<aside>` landmarks instead of generic `<div>` containers
- Leverage native form validation and input types before custom implementations

### ARIA Usage
- Never use ARIA to change native semantics unless absolutely necessary
- Ensure all required ARIA attributes are present (e.g., `aria-expanded` on toggles)
- Use `aria-live="polite"` for non-urgent updates and `"assertive"` only for critical alerts
- Pair `aria-describedby` with `aria-labelledby` for complex interactive widgets
- Test ARIA implementations with actual screen readers, not just automated tools

### Focus Management
- Maintain a logical, sequential focus order that follows the visual layout
- Move focus to newly opened content (modals, dialogs, inline expansions)
- Return focus to the triggering element when closing overlays
- Never remove focus indicators; enhance default outlines for better visibility

### Testing Strategy
- Combine automated tools (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse) with manual keyboard and screen reader testing
- Include accessibility checks in CI/CD pipelines using axe-core or pa11y
- Test with multiple screen readers (NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS/iOS, TalkBack on Android)
- Conduct usability testing with people who use assistive technologies when possible

## Task Guidance by Technology

### React (jsx, react-aria, radix-ui)
- Use `react-aria` or Radix UI for accessible primitive components
- Manage focus with `useRef` and `useEffect` for dynamic content
- Announce route changes with a visually hidden live region component
- Use `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` to catch accessibility issues during development
- Test with `jest-axe` for automated accessibility assertions in unit tests

### Vue (vue, vuetify, nuxt)
- Leverage Vuetify's built-in accessibility features and ARIA support
- Use `vue-announcer` for route change announcements in SPAs
- Implement focus trapping in modals with `vue-focus-lock`
- Test with `axe-core/vue` integration for component-level accessibility checks

### Angular (angular, angular-cdk, material)
- Use Angular CDK's a11y module for focus trapping, live announcer, and focus monitor
- Leverage Angular Material components which include built-in accessibility
- Implement `AriaDescriber` and `LiveAnnouncer` services for dynamic content
- Use `cdk-a11y` prebuilt focus management directives for complex widgets

## Red Flags When Auditing Accessibility

- **Using `<div>` or `<span>` for interactive elements**: Loses keyboard support, focus management, and screen reader semantics
- **Missing alt text on informative images**: Screen reader users receive no information about the image's content
- **Placeholder-only form labels**: Placeholders disappear on focus, leaving users without context
- **Removing focus outlines without replacement**: Keyboard users cannot see where they are on the page
- **Using `tabindex` values greater than 0**: Creates unpredictable, unmaintainable tab order
- **Color as the only means of conveying information**: Users with color blindness cannot distinguish states
- **Auto-playing media without controls**: Users cannot stop unwanted audio or video
- **Missing skip navigation links**: Keyboard users must tab through every navigation item on every page load

## Output (TODO Only)

Write all proposed accessibility fixes and any code snippets to `TODO_a11y-auditor.md` only. Do not create any other files. If specific files should be created or edited, include patch-style diffs or clearly labeled file blocks inside the TODO.

description: A toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright.
---

# Web Application Testing

This skill enables comprehensive testing and debugging of local web applications using Playwright automation.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- Test frontend functionality in a real browser
- Verify UI behavior and interactions
- Debug web application issues
- Capture screenshots for documentation or debugging
- Inspect browser console logs
- Validate form submissions and user flows
- Check responsive design across viewports

## Prerequisites

- Node.js installed on the system
- A locally running web application (or accessible URL)
- Playwright will be installed automatically if not present

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Browser Automation
- Navigate to URLs
- Click buttons and links
- Fill form fields
- Select dropdowns
- Handle dialogs and alerts

### 2. Verification
- Assert element presence
- Verify text content
- Check element visibility
- Validate URLs
- Test responsive behavior

### 3. Debugging
- Capture screenshots
- View console logs
- Inspect network requests
- Debug failed tests

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Basic Navigation Test
```javascript
// Navigate to a page and verify title
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
const title = await page.title();
console.log('Page title:', title);
```

### Example 2: Form Interaction
```javascript
// Fill out and submit a form
await page.fill('#username', 'testuser');
await page.fill('#password', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
```

### Example 3: Screenshot Capture
```javascript
// Capture a screenshot for debugging
await page.screenshot({ path: 'debug.png', fullPage: true });
```

## Guidelines

1. **Always verify the app is running** - Check that the local server is accessible before running tests
2. **Use explicit waits** - Wait for elements or navigation to complete before interacting
3. **Capture screenshots on failure** - Take screenshots to help debug issues
4. **Clean up resources** - Always close the browser when done
5. **Handle timeouts gracefully** - Set reasonable timeouts for slow operations
6. **Test incrementally** - Start with simple interactions before complex flows
7. **Use selectors wisely** - Prefer data-testid or role-based selectors over CSS classes

## Common Patterns

### Pattern: Wait for Element
```javascript
await page.waitForSelector('#element-id', { state: 'visible' });
```

### Pattern: Check if Element Exists
```javascript
const exists = await page.locator('#element-id').count() > 0;
```

### Pattern: Get Console Logs
```javascript
page.on('console', msg => console.log('Browser log:', msg.text()));
```

### Pattern: Handle Errors
```javascript
try {
  await page.click('#button');
} catch (error) {\n  await page.screenshot({ path: 'error.png' });
  throw error;
}
```

## Limitations

- Requires Node.js environment
- Cannot test native mobile apps (use React Native Testing Library instead)
- May have issues with complex authentication flows
- Some modern frameworks may require specific configuration

# MCP Server Development Guide

## Overview

Create MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks.

---

# Process

## 🚀 High-Level Workflow

Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases:

### Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning

#### 1.1 Understand Modern MCP Design

**API Coverage vs. Workflow Tools:**
Balance comprehensive API endpoint coverage with specialized workflow tools. Workflow tools can be more convenient for specific tasks, while comprehensive coverage gives agents flexibility to compose operations. Performance varies by client—some clients benefit from code execution that combines basic tools, while others work better with higher-level workflows. When uncertain, prioritize comprehensive API coverage.

**Tool Naming and Discoverability:**
Clear, descriptive tool names help agents find the right tools quickly. Use consistent prefixes (e.g., `github_create_issue`, `github_list_repos`) and action-oriented naming.

**Context Management:**
Agents benefit from concise tool descriptions and the ability to filter/paginate results. Design tools that return focused, relevant data. Some clients support code execution which can help agents filter and process data efficiently.

**Actionable Error Messages:**
Error messages should guide agents toward solutions with specific suggestions and next steps.

#### 1.2 Study MCP Protocol Documentation

**Navigate the MCP specification:**

Start with the sitemap to find relevant pages: `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/sitemap.xml`

Then fetch specific pages with `.md` suffix for markdown format (e.g., `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft.md`).

Key pages to review:
- Specification overview and architecture
- Transport mechanisms (streamable HTTP, stdio)
- Tool, resource, and prompt definitions

#### 1.3 Study Framework Documentation

**Recommended stack:**
- **Language**: TypeScript (high-quality SDK support and good compatibility in many execution environments e.g. MCPB. Plus AI models are good at generating TypeScript code, benefiting from its broad usage, static typing and good linting tools)
- **Transport**: Streamable HTTP for remote servers, using stateless JSON (simpler to scale and maintain, as opposed to stateful sessions and streaming responses). stdio for local servers.

**Load framework documentation:**

- **MCP Best Practices**: [📋 View Best Practices](./reference/mcp_best_practices.md) - Core guidelines

**For TypeScript (recommended):**
- **TypeScript SDK**: Use WebFetch to load `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/main/README.md`
- [⚡ TypeScript Guide](./reference/node_mcp_server.md) - TypeScript patterns and examples

**For Python:**
- **Python SDK**: Use WebFetch to load `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/main/README.md`
- [🐍 Python Guide](./reference/python_mcp_server.md) - Python patterns and examples

#### 1.4 Plan Your Implementation

**Understand the API:**
Review the service's API documentation to identify key endpoints, authentication requirements, and data models. Use web search and WebFetch as needed.

**Tool Selection:**
Prioritize comprehensive API coverage. List endpoints to implement, starting with the most common operations.

---

### Phase 2: Implementation

#### 2.1 Set Up Project Structure

See language-specific guides for project setup:
- [⚡ TypeScript Guide](./reference/node_mcp_server.md) - Project structure, package.json, tsconfig.json
- [🐍 Python Guide](./reference/python_mcp_server.md) - Module organization, dependencies

#### 2.2 Implement Core Infrastructure

Create shared utilities:
- API client with authentication
- Error handling helpers
- Response formatting (JSON/Markdown)
- Pagination support

#### 2.3 Implement Tools

For each tool:

**Input Schema:**
- Use Zod (TypeScript) or Pydantic (Python)
- Include constraints and clear descriptions
- Add examples in field descriptions

**Output Schema:**
- Define `outputSchema` where possible for structured data
- Use `structuredContent` in tool responses (TypeScript SDK feature)
- Helps clients understand and process tool outputs

**Tool Description:**
- Concise summary of functionality
- Parameter descriptions
- Return type schema

**Implementation:**
- Async/await for I/O operations
- Proper error handling with actionable messages
- Support pagination where applicable
- Return both text content and structured data when using modern SDKs

**Annotations:**
- `readOnlyHint`: true/false
- `destructiveHint`: true/false
- `idempotentHint`: true/false
- `openWorldHint`: true/false

---

### Phase 3: Review and Test

#### 3.1 Code Quality

Review for:
- No duplicated code (DRY principle)
- Consistent error handling
- Full type coverage
- Clear tool descriptions

#### 3.2 Build and Test

**TypeScript:**
- Run `npm run build` to verify compilation
- Test with MCP Inspector: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`

**Python:**
- Verify syntax: `python -m py_compile your_server.py`
- Test with MCP Inspector

See language-specific guides for detailed testing approaches and quality checklists.

---

### Phase 4: Create Evaluations

After implementing your MCP server, create comprehensive evaluations to test its effectiveness.

**Load [✅ Evaluation Guide](./reference/evaluation.md) for complete evaluation guidelines.**

#### 4.1 Understand Evaluation Purpose

Use evaluations to test whether LLMs can effectively use your MCP server to answer realistic, complex questions.

#### 4.2 Create 10 Evaluation Questions

To create effective evaluations, follow the process outlined in the evaluation guide:

1. **Tool Inspection**: List available tools and understand their capabilities
2. **Content Exploration**: Use READ-ONLY operations to explore available data
3. **Question Generation**: Create 10 complex, realistic questions
4. **Answer Verification**: Solve each question yourself to verify answers

#### 4.3 Evaluation Requirements

Ensure each question is:
- **Independent**: Not dependent on other questions
- **Read-only**: Only non-destructive operations required
- **Complex**: Requiring multiple tool calls and deep exploration
- **Realistic**: Based on real use cases humans would care about
- **Verifiable**: Single, clear answer that can be verified by string comparison
- **Stable**: Answer won't change over time

#### 4.4 Output Format

Create an XML file with this structure:

```xml
<evaluation>
  <qa_pair>
    <question>Find discussions about AI model launches with animal codenames. One model needed a specific safety designation that uses the format ASL-X. What number X was being determined for the model named after a spotted wild cat?</question>
    <answer>3</answer>
  </qa_pair>
<!-- More qa_pairs... -->
</evaluation>
```

# MCP Server Best Practices

## Quick Reference

### Server Naming
- **Python**: `{service}_mcp` (e.g., `slack_mcp`)
- **Node/TypeScript**: `{service}-mcp-server` (e.g., `slack-mcp-server`)

### Tool Naming
- Use snake_case with service prefix
- Format: `{service}_{action}_{resource}`
- Example: `slack_send_message`, `github_create_issue`

### Response Formats
- Support both JSON and Markdown formats
- JSON for programmatic processing
- Markdown for human readability

### Pagination
- Always respect `limit` parameter
- Return `has_more`, `next_offset`, `total_count`
- Default to 20-50 items

### Transport
- **Streamable HTTP**: For remote servers, multi-client scenarios
- **stdio**: For local integrations, command-line tools
- Avoid SSE (deprecated in favor of streamable HTTP)

---

## Server Naming Conventions

Follow these standardized naming patterns:

**Python**: Use format `{service}_mcp` (lowercase with underscores)
- Examples: `slack_mcp`, `github_mcp`, `jira_mcp`

**Node/TypeScript**: Use format `{service}-mcp-server` (lowercase with hyphens)
- Examples: `slack-mcp-server`, `github-mcp-server`, `jira-mcp-server`

The name should be general, descriptive of the service being integrated, easy to infer from the task description, and without version numbers.

---

## Tool Naming and Design

### Tool Naming

1. **Use snake_case**: `search_users`, `create_project`, `get_channel_info`
2. **Include service prefix**: Anticipate that your MCP server may be used alongside other MCP servers
   - Use `slack_send_message` instead of just `send_message`
   - Use `github_create_issue` instead of just `create_issue`
3. **Be action-oriented**: Start with verbs (get, list, search, create, etc.)
4. **Be specific**: Avoid generic names that could conflict with other servers

### Tool Design

- Tool descriptions must narrowly and unambiguously describe functionality
- Descriptions must precisely match actual functionality
- Provide tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- Keep tool operations focused and atomic

---

## Response Formats

All tools that return data should support multiple formats:

### JSON Format (`response_format="json"`)
- Machine-readable structured data
- Include all available fields and metadata
- Consistent field names and types
- Use for programmatic processing

### Markdown Format (`response_format="markdown"`, typically default)
- Human-readable formatted text
- Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
- Convert timestamps to human-readable format
- Show display names with IDs in parentheses
- Omit verbose metadata

---

## Pagination

For tools that list resources:

- **Always respect the `limit` parameter**
- **Implement pagination**: Use `offset` or cursor-based pagination
- **Return pagination metadata**: Include `has_more`, `next_offset`/`next_cursor`, `total_count`
- **Never load all results into memory**: Especially important for large datasets
- **Default to reasonable limits**: 20-50 items is typical

Example pagination response:
```json
{
  "total": 150,
  "count": 20,
  "offset": 0,
  "items": [...],
  "has_more": true,
  "next_offset": 20
}
```

---

## Transport Options

### Streamable HTTP

**Best for**: Remote servers, web services, multi-client scenarios

**Characteristics**:
- Bidirectional communication over HTTP
- Supports multiple simultaneous clients
- Can be deployed as a web service
- Enables server-to-client notifications

**Use when**:
- Serving multiple clients simultaneously
- Deploying as a cloud service
- Integration with web applications

### stdio

**Best for**: Local integrations, command-line tools

**Characteristics**:
- Standard input/output stream communication
- Simple setup, no network configuration needed
- Runs as a subprocess of the client

**Use when**:
- Building tools for local development environments
- Integrating with desktop applications
- Single-user, single-session scenarios

**Note**: stdio servers should NOT log to stdout (use stderr for logging)

### Transport Selection

| Criterion | stdio | Streamable HTTP |
|-----------|-------|-----------------|
| **Deployment** | Local | Remote |
| **Clients** | Single | Multiple |
| **Complexity** | Low | Medium |
| **Real-time** | No | Yes |

---

## Security Best Practices

### Authentication and Authorization

**OAuth 2.1**:
- Use secure OAuth 2.1 with certificates from recognized authorities
- Validate access tokens before processing requests
- Only accept tokens specifically intended for your server

**API Keys**:
- Store API keys in environment variables, never in code
- Validate keys on server startup
- Provide clear error messages when authentication fails

### Input Validation

- Sanitize file paths to prevent directory traversal
- Validate URLs and external identifiers
- Check parameter sizes and ranges
- Prevent command injection in system calls
- Use schema validation (Pydantic/Zod) for all inputs

### Error Handling

- Don't expose internal errors to clients
- Log security-relevant errors server-side
- Provide helpful but not revealing error messages
- Clean up resources after errors

### DNS Rebinding Protection

For streamable HTTP servers running locally:
- Enable DNS rebinding protection
- Validate the `Origin` header on all incoming connections
- Bind to `127.0.0.1` rather than `0.0.0.0`

---

## Tool Annotations

Provide annotations to help clients understand tool behavior:

| Annotation | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `readOnlyHint` | boolean | false | Tool does not modify its environment |
| `destructiveHint` | boolean | true | Tool may perform destructive updates |
| `idempotentHint` | boolean | false | Repeated calls with same args have no additional effect |
| `openWorldHint` | boolean | true | Tool interacts with external entities |

**Important**: Annotations are hints, not security guarantees. Clients should not make security-critical decisions based solely on annotations.

---

## Error Handling

- Use standard JSON-RPC error codes
- Report tool errors within result objects (not protocol-level errors)
- Provide helpful, specific error messages with suggested next steps
- Don't expose internal implementation details
- Clean up resources properly on errors

Example error handling:
```typescript
try {
  const result = performOperation();
  return { content: [{ type: "text", text: result }] };
} catch (error) {
  return {
    isError: true,
    content: [{
      type: "text",
      text: `Error: error.message. Try using filter='active_only' to reduce results.`
    }]
  };
}
```

---

## Testing Requirements

Comprehensive testing should cover:

- **Functional testing**: Verify correct execution with valid/invalid inputs
- **Integration testing**: Test interaction with external systems
- **Security testing**: Validate auth, input sanitization, rate limiting
- **Performance testing**: Check behavior under load, timeouts
- **Error handling**: Ensure proper error reporting and cleanup

---

## Documentation Requirements

- Provide clear documentation of all tools and capabilities
- Include working examples (at least 3 per major feature)
- Document security considerations
- Specify required permissions and access levels
- Document rate limits and performance characteristics
FILE:reference/evaluation.md
# MCP Server Evaluation Guide

## Overview

This document provides guidance on creating comprehensive evaluations for MCP servers. Evaluations test whether LLMs can effectively use your MCP server to answer realistic, complex questions using only the tools provided.

---

## Quick Reference

### Evaluation Requirements
- Create 10 human-readable questions
- Questions must be READ-ONLY, INDEPENDENT, NON-DESTRUCTIVE
- Each question requires multiple tool calls (potentially dozens)
- Answers must be single, verifiable values
- Answers must be STABLE (won't change over time)

### Output Format
```xml
<evaluation>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Your question here</question>
      <answer>Single verifiable answer</answer>
   </qa_pair>
</evaluation>
```

---

## Purpose of Evaluations

The measure of quality of an MCP server is NOT how well or comprehensively the server implements tools, but how well these implementations (input/output schemas, docstrings/descriptions, functionality) enable LLMs with no other context and access ONLY to the MCP servers to answer realistic and difficult questions.

## Evaluation Overview

Create 10 human-readable questions requiring ONLY READ-ONLY, INDEPENDENT, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and IDEMPOTENT operations to answer. Each question should be:
- Realistic
- Clear and concise
- Unambiguous
- Complex, requiring potentially dozens of tool calls or steps
- Answerable with a single, verifiable value that you identify in advance

## Question Guidelines

### Core Requirements

1. **Questions MUST be independent**
   - Each question should NOT depend on the answer to any other question
   - Should not assume prior write operations from processing another question

2. **Questions MUST require ONLY NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND IDEMPOTENT tool use**
   - Should not instruct or require modifying state to arrive at the correct answer

3. **Questions must be REALISTIC, CLEAR, CONCISE, and COMPLEX**
   - Must require another LLM to use multiple (potentially dozens of) tools or steps to answer

### Complexity and Depth

4. **Questions must require deep exploration**
   - Consider multi-hop questions requiring multiple sub-questions and sequential tool calls
   - Each step should benefit from information found in previous questions

5. **Questions may require extensive paging**
   - May need paging through multiple pages of results
   - May require querying old data (1-2 years out-of-date) to find niche information
   - The questions must be DIFFICULT

6. **Questions must require deep understanding**
   - Rather than surface-level knowledge
   - May pose complex ideas as True/False questions requiring evidence
   - May use multiple-choice format where LLM must search different hypotheses

7. **Questions must not be solvable with straightforward keyword search**
   - Do not include specific keywords from the target content
   - Use synonyms, related concepts, or paraphrases
   - Require multiple searches, analyzing multiple related items, extracting context, then deriving the answer

### Tool Testing

8. **Questions should stress-test tool return values**
   - May elicit tools returning large JSON objects or lists, overwhelming the LLM
   - Should require understanding multiple modalities of data:
     - IDs and names
     - Timestamps and datetimes (months, days, years, seconds)
     - File IDs, names, extensions, and mimetypes
     - URLs, GIDs, etc.
   - Should probe the tool's ability to return all useful forms of data

9. **Questions should MOSTLY reflect real human use cases**
   - The kinds of information retrieval tasks that HUMANS assisted by an LLM would care about

10. **Questions may require dozens of tool calls**
    - This challenges LLMs with limited context
    - Encourages MCP server tools to reduce information returned

11. **Include ambiguous questions**
    - May be ambiguous OR require difficult decisions on which tools to call
    - Force the LLM to potentially make mistakes or misinterpret
    - Ensure that despite AMBIGUITY, there is STILL A SINGLE VERIFIABLE ANSWER

### Stability

12. **Questions must be designed so the answer DOES NOT CHANGE**
    - Do not ask questions that rely on "current state" which is dynamic
    - For example, do not count:
      - Number of reactions to a post
      - Number of replies to a thread
      - Number of members in a channel

13. **DO NOT let the MCP server RESTRICT the kinds of questions you create**
    - Create challenging and complex questions
    - Some may not be solvable with the available MCP server tools
    - Questions may require specific output formats (datetime vs. epoch time, JSON vs. MARKDOWN)
    - Questions may require dozens of tool calls to complete

## Answer Guidelines

### Verification

1. **Answers must be VERIFIABLE via direct string comparison**
   - If the answer can be re-written in many formats, clearly specify the output format in the QUESTION
   - Examples: "Use YYYY/MM/DD.", "Respond True or False.", "Answer A, B, C, or D and nothing else."
   - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value such as:
     - User ID, user name, display name, first name, last name
     - Channel ID, channel name
     - Message ID, string
     - URL, title
     - Numerical quantity
     - Timestamp, datetime
     - Boolean (for True/False questions)
     - Email address, phone number
     - File ID, file name, file extension
     - Multiple choice answer
   - Answers must not require special formatting or complex, structured output
   - Answer will be verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON

### Readability

2. **Answers should generally prefer HUMAN-READABLE formats**
   - Examples: names, first name, last name, datetime, file name, message string, URL, yes/no, true/false, a/b/c/d
   - Rather than opaque IDs (though IDs are acceptable)
   - The VAST MAJORITY of answers should be human-readable

### Stability

3. **Answers must be STABLE/STATIONARY**
   - Look at old content (e.g., conversations that have ended, projects that have launched, questions answered)
   - Create QUESTIONS based on "closed" concepts that will always return the same answer
   - Questions may ask to consider a fixed time window to insulate from non-stationary answers
   - Rely on context UNLIKELY to change
   - Example: if finding a paper name, be SPECIFIC enough so answer is not confused with papers published later

4. **Answers must be CLEAR and UNAMBIGUOUS**
   - Questions must be designed so there is a single, clear answer
   - Answer can be derived from using the MCP server tools

### Diversity

5. **Answers must be DIVERSE**
   - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value in diverse modalities and formats
   - User concept: user ID, user name, display name, first name, last name, email address, phone number
   - Channel concept: channel ID, channel name, channel topic
   - Message concept: message ID, message string, timestamp, month, day, year

6. **Answers must NOT be complex structures**
   - Not a list of values
   - Not a complex object
   - Not a list of IDs or strings
   - Not natural language text
   - UNLESS the answer can be straightforwardly verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON
   - And can be realistically reproduced
   - It should be unlikely that an LLM would return the same list in any other order or format

## Evaluation Process

### Step 1: Documentation Inspection

Read the documentation of the target API to understand:
- Available endpoints and functionality
- If ambiguity exists, fetch additional information from the web
- Parallelize this step AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
- Ensure each subagent is ONLY examining documentation from the file system or on the web

### Step 2: Tool Inspection

List the tools available in the MCP server:
- Inspect the MCP server directly
- Understand input/output schemas, docstrings, and descriptions
- WITHOUT calling the tools themselves at this stage

### Step 3: Developing Understanding

Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you have a good understanding:
- Iterate multiple times
- Think about the kinds of tasks you want to create
- Refine your understanding
- At NO stage should you READ the code of the MCP server implementation itself
- Use your intuition and understanding to create reasonable, realistic, but VERY challenging tasks

### Step 4: Read-Only Content Inspection

After understanding the API and tools, USE the MCP server tools:
- Inspect content using READ-ONLY and NON-DESTRUCTIVE operations ONLY
- Goal: identify specific content (e.g., users, channels, messages, projects, tasks) for creating realistic questions
- Should NOT call any tools that modify state
- Will NOT read the code of the MCP server implementation itself
- Parallelize this step with individual sub-agents pursuing independent explorations
- Ensure each subagent is only performing READ-ONLY, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and IDEMPOTENT operations
- BE CAREFUL: SOME TOOLS may return LOTS OF DATA which would cause you to run out of CONTEXT
- Make INCREMENTAL, SMALL, AND TARGETED tool calls for exploration
- In all tool call requests, use the `limit` parameter to limit results (<10)
- Use pagination

### Step 5: Task Generation

After inspecting the content, create 10 human-readable questions:
- An LLM should be able to answer these with the MCP server
- Follow all question and answer guidelines above

## Output Format

Each QA pair consists of a question and an answer. The output should be an XML file with this structure:

```xml
<evaluation>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Find the project created in Q2 2024 with the highest number of completed tasks. What is the project name?</question>
      <answer>Website Redesign</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Search for issues labeled as "bug" that were closed in March 2024. Which user closed the most issues? Provide their username.</question>
      <answer>sarah_dev</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Look for pull requests that modified files in the /api directory and were merged between January 1 and January 31, 2024. How many different contributors worked on these PRs?</question>
      <answer>7</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Find the repository with the most stars that was created before 2023. What is the repository name?</question>
      <answer>data-pipeline</answer>
   </qa_pair>
</evaluation>
```

## Evaluation Examples

### Good Questions

**Example 1: Multi-hop question requiring deep exploration (GitHub MCP)**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>Find the repository that was archived in Q3 2023 and had previously been the most forked project in the organization. What was the primary programming language used in that repository?</question>
   <answer>Python</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is good because:
- Requires multiple searches to find archived repositories
- Needs to identify which had the most forks before archival
- Requires examining repository details for the language
- Answer is a simple, verifiable value
- Based on historical (closed) data that won't change

**Example 2: Requires understanding context without keyword matching (Project Management MCP)**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>Locate the initiative focused on improving customer onboarding that was completed in late 2023. The project lead created a retrospective document after completion. What was the lead's role title at that time?</question>
   <answer>Product Manager</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is good because:
- Doesn't use specific project name ("initiative focused on improving customer onboarding")
- Requires finding completed projects from specific timeframe
- Needs to identify the project lead and their role
- Requires understanding context from retrospective documents
- Answer is human-readable and stable
- Based on completed work (won't change)

**Example 3: Complex aggregation requiring multiple steps (Issue Tracker MCP)**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>Among all bugs reported in January 2024 that were marked as critical priority, which assignee resolved the highest percentage of their assigned bugs within 48 hours? Provide the assignee's username.</question>
   <answer>alex_eng</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is good because:
- Requires filtering bugs by date, priority, and status
- Needs to group by assignee and calculate resolution rates
- Requires understanding timestamps to determine 48-hour windows
- Tests pagination (potentially many bugs to process)
- Answer is a single username
- Based on historical data from specific time period

**Example 4: Requires synthesis across multiple data types (CRM MCP)**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>Find the account that upgraded from the Starter to Enterprise plan in Q4 2023 and had the highest annual contract value. What industry does this account operate in?</question>
   <answer>Healthcare</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is good because:
- Requires understanding subscription tier changes
- Needs to identify upgrade events in specific timeframe
- Requires comparing contract values
- Must access account industry information
- Answer is simple and verifiable
- Based on completed historical transactions

### Poor Questions

**Example 1: Answer changes over time**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>How many open issues are currently assigned to the engineering team?</question>
   <answer>47</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is poor because:
- The answer will change as issues are created, closed, or reassigned
- Not based on stable/stationary data
- Relies on "current state" which is dynamic

**Example 2: Too easy with keyword search**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>Find the pull request with title "Add authentication feature" and tell me who created it.</question>
   <answer>developer123</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is poor because:
- Can be solved with a straightforward keyword search for exact title
- Doesn't require deep exploration or understanding
- No synthesis or analysis needed

**Example 3: Ambiguous answer format**
```xml
<qa_pair>
   <question>List all the repositories that have Python as their primary language.</question>
   <answer>repo1, repo2, repo3, data-pipeline, ml-tools</answer>
</qa_pair>
```

This question is poor because:
- Answer is a list that could be returned in any order
- Difficult to verify with direct string comparison
- LLM might format differently (JSON array, comma-separated, newline-separated)
- Better to ask for a specific aggregate (count) or superlative (most stars)

## Verification Process

After creating evaluations:

1. **Examine the XML file** to understand the schema
2. **Load each task instruction** and in parallel using the MCP server and tools, identify the correct answer by attempting to solve the task YOURSELF
3. **Flag any operations** that require WRITE or DESTRUCTIVE operations
4. **Accumulate all CORRECT answers** and replace any incorrect answers in the document
5. **Remove any `<qa_pair>`** that require WRITE or DESTRUCTIVE operations

Remember to parallelize solving tasks to avoid running out of context, then accumulate all answers and make changes to the file at the end.

## Tips for Creating Quality Evaluations

1. **Think Hard and Plan Ahead** before generating tasks
2. **Parallelize Where Opportunity Arises** to speed up the process and manage context
3. **Focus on Realistic Use Cases** that humans would actually want to accomplish
4. **Create Challenging Questions** that test the limits of the MCP server's capabilities
5. **Ensure Stability** by using historical data and closed concepts
6. **Verify Answers** by solving the questions yourself using the MCP server tools
7. **Iterate and Refine** based on what you learn during the process

# Running Evaluations

After creating your evaluation file, you can use the provided evaluation harness to test your MCP server.

## Setup

1. **Install Dependencies**

   ```bash
   pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
   ```

   Or install manually:
   ```bash
   pip install anthropic mcp
   ```

2. **Set API Key**

   ```bash
   export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   ```

## Evaluation File Format

Evaluation files use XML format with `<qa_pair>` elements:

```xml
<evaluation>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Find the project created in Q2 2024 with the highest number of completed tasks. What is the project name?</question>
      <answer>Website Redesign</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Search for issues labeled as "bug" that were closed in March 2024. Which user closed the most issues? Provide their username.</question>
      <answer>sarah_dev</answer>
   </qa_pair>
</evaluation>
```

## Running Evaluations

The evaluation script (`scripts/evaluation.py`) supports three transport types:

**Important:**
- **stdio transport**: The evaluation script automatically launches and manages the MCP server process for you. Do not run the server manually.
- **sse/http transports**: You must start the MCP server separately before running the evaluation. The script connects to the already-running server at the specified URL.

### 1. Local STDIO Server

For locally-run MCP servers (script launches the server automatically):

```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t stdio \
  -c python \
  -a my_mcp_server.py \
  evaluation.xml
```

With environment variables:
```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t stdio \
  -c python \
  -a my_mcp_server.py \
  -e API_KEY=abc123 \
  -e DEBUG=true \
  evaluation.xml
```

### 2. Server-Sent Events (SSE)

For SSE-based MCP servers (you must start the server first):

```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t sse \
  -u https://example.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
  -H "X-Custom-Header: value" \
  evaluation.xml
```

### 3. HTTP (Streamable HTTP)

For HTTP-based MCP servers (you must start the server first):

```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t http \
  -u https://example.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
  evaluation.xml
```

## Command-Line Options

```
usage: evaluation.py [-h] [-t {stdio,sse,http}] [-m MODEL] [-c COMMAND]
                     [-a ARGS [ARGS ...]] [-e ENV [ENV ...]] [-u URL]
                     [-H HEADERS [HEADERS ...]] [-o OUTPUT]
                     eval_file

positional arguments:
  eval_file             Path to evaluation XML file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            Show help message
  -t, --transport       Transport type: stdio, sse, or http (default: stdio)
  -m, --model           Claude model to use (default: claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219)
  -o, --output          Output file for report (default: print to stdout)

stdio options:
  -c, --command         Command to run MCP server (e.g., python, node)
  -a, --args            Arguments for the command (e.g., server.py)
  -e, --env             Environment variables in KEY=VALUE format

sse/http options:
  -u, --url             MCP server URL
  -H, --header          HTTP headers in 'Key: Value' format
```

## Output

The evaluation script generates a detailed report including:

- **Summary Statistics**:
  - Accuracy (correct/total)
  - Average task duration
  - Average tool calls per task
  - Total tool calls

- **Per-Task Results**:
  - Prompt and expected response
  - Actual response from the agent
  - Whether the answer was correct (✅/❌)
  - Duration and tool call details
  - Agent's summary of its approach
  - Agent's feedback on the tools

### Save Report to File

```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t stdio \
  -c python \
  -a my_server.py \
  -o evaluation_report.md \
  evaluation.xml
```

## Complete Example Workflow

Here's a complete example of creating and running an evaluation:

1. **Create your evaluation file** (`my_evaluation.xml`):

```xml
<evaluation>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Find the user who created the most issues in January 2024. What is their username?</question>
      <answer>alice_developer</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Among all pull requests merged in Q1 2024, which repository had the highest number? Provide the repository name.</question>
      <answer>backend-api</answer>
   </qa_pair>
   <qa_pair>
      <question>Find the project that was completed in December 2023 and had the longest duration from start to finish. How many days did it take?</question>
      <answer>127</answer>
   </qa_pair>
</evaluation>
```

2. **Install dependencies**:

```bash
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

3. **Run evaluation**:

```bash
python scripts/evaluation.py \
  -t stdio \
  -c python \
  -a github_mcp_server.py \
  -e GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx \
  -o github_eval_report.md \
  my_evaluation.xml
```

4. **Review the report** in `github_eval_report.md` to:
   - See which questions passed/failed
   - Read the agent's feedback on your tools
   - Identify areas for improvement
   - Iterate on your MCP server design

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Errors

If you get connection errors:
- **STDIO**: Verify the command and arguments are correct
- **SSE/HTTP**: Check the URL is accessible and headers are correct
- Ensure any required API keys are set in environment variables or headers

### Low Accuracy

If many evaluations fail:
- Review the agent's feedback for each task
- Check if tool descriptions are clear and comprehensive
- Verify input parameters are well-documented
- Consider whether tools return too much or too little data
- Ensure error messages are actionable

### Timeout Issues

If tasks are timing out:
- Use a more capable model (e.g., `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`)
- Check if tools are returning too much data
- Verify pagination is working correctly
- Consider simplifying complex questions

# Node/TypeScript MCP Server Implementation Guide

## Overview

This document provides Node/TypeScript-specific best practices and examples for implementing MCP servers using the MCP TypeScript SDK. It covers project structure, server setup, tool registration patterns, input validation with Zod, error handling, and complete working examples.

---

## Quick Reference

### Key Imports
```typescript
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import express from "express";
import { z } from "zod";
```

### Server Initialization
```typescript
const server = new McpServer({
  name: "service-mcp-server",
  version: "1.0.0"
});
```

### Tool Registration Pattern
```typescript
server.registerTool(
  "tool_name",
  {
    title: "Tool Display Name",
    description: "What the tool does",
    inputSchema: { param: z.string() },
    outputSchema: { result: z.string() }
  },
  async ({ param }) => {
    const output = { result: `Processed: param` };
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(output) }],
      structuredContent: output // Modern pattern for structured data
    };
  }
);
```

---

## MCP TypeScript SDK

The official MCP TypeScript SDK provides:
- `McpServer` class for server initialization
- `registerTool` method for tool registration
- Zod schema integration for runtime input validation
- Type-safe tool handler implementations

**IMPORTANT - Use Modern APIs Only:**
- **DO use**: `server.registerTool()`, `server.registerResource()`, `server.registerPrompt()`
- **DO NOT use**: Old deprecated APIs such as `server.tool()`, `server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, ...)`, or manual handler registration
- The `register*` methods provide better type safety, automatic schema handling, and are the recommended approach

See the MCP SDK documentation in the references for complete details.

## Server Naming Convention

Node/TypeScript MCP servers must follow this naming pattern:
- **Format**: `{service}-mcp-server` (lowercase with hyphens)
- **Examples**: `github-mcp-server`, `jira-mcp-server`, `stripe-mcp-server`

The name should be:
- General (not tied to specific features)
- Descriptive of the service/API being integrated
- Easy to infer from the task description
- Without version numbers or dates

## Project Structure

Create the following structure for Node/TypeScript MCP servers:

```
{service}-mcp-server/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── README.md
├── src/
│   ├── index.ts          # Main entry point with McpServer initialization
│   ├── types.ts          # TypeScript type definitions and interfaces
│   ├── tools/            # Tool implementations (one file per domain)
│   ├── services/         # API clients and shared utilities
│   ├── schemas/          # Zod validation schemas
│   └── constants.ts      # Shared constants (API_URL, CHARACTER_LIMIT, etc.)
└── dist/                 # Built JavaScript files (entry point: dist/index.js)
```

## Tool Implementation

### Tool Naming

Use snake_case for tool names (e.g., "search_users", "create_project", "get_channel_info") with clear, action-oriented names.

**Avoid Naming Conflicts**: Include the service context to prevent overlaps:
- Use "slack_send_message" instead of just "send_message"
- Use "github_create_issue" instead of just "create_issue"
- Use "asana_list_tasks" instead of just "list_tasks"

### Tool Structure

Tools are registered using the `registerTool` method with the following requirements:
- Use Zod schemas for runtime input validation and type safety
- The `description` field must be explicitly provided - JSDoc comments are NOT automatically extracted
- Explicitly provide `title`, `description`, `inputSchema`, and `annotations`
- The `inputSchema` must be a Zod schema object (not a JSON schema)
- Type all parameters and return values explicitly

```typescript
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { z } from "zod";

const server = new McpServer({
  name: "example-mcp",
  version: "1.0.0"
});

// Zod schema for input validation
const UserSearchInputSchema = z.object({
  query: z.string()
    .min(2, "Query must be at least 2 characters")
    .max(200, "Query must not exceed 200 characters")
    .describe("Search string to match against names/emails"),
  limit: z.number()
    .int()
    .min(1)
    .max(100)
    .default(20)
    .describe("Maximum results to return"),
  offset: z.number()
    .int()
    .min(0)
    .default(0)
    .describe("Number of results to skip for pagination"),
  response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
    .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
    .describe("Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable")
}).strict();

// Type definition from Zod schema
type UserSearchInput = z.infer<typeof UserSearchInputSchema>;

server.registerTool(
  "example_search_users",
  {
    title: "Search Example Users",
    description: `Search for users in the Example system by name, email, or team.

This tool searches across all user profiles in the Example platform, supporting partial matches and various search filters. It does NOT create or modify users, only searches existing ones.

Args:
  - query (string): Search string to match against names/emails
  - limit (number): Maximum results to return, between 1-100 (default: 20)
  - offset (number): Number of results to skip for pagination (default: 0)
  - response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown')

Returns:
  For JSON format: Structured data with schema:
  {
    "total": number,           // Total number of matches found
    "count": number,           // Number of results in this response
    "offset": number,          // Current pagination offset
    "users": [
      {
        "id": string,          // User ID (e.g., "U123456789")
        "name": string,        // Full name (e.g., "John Doe")
        "email": string,       // Email address
        "team": string,        // Team name (optional)
        "active": boolean      // Whether user is active
      }
    ],
    "has_more": boolean,       // Whether more results are available
    "next_offset": number      // Offset for next page (if has_more is true)
  }

Examples:
  - Use when: "Find all marketing team members" -> params with query="team:marketing"
  - Use when: "Search for John's account" -> params with query="john"
  - Don't use when: You need to create a user (use example_create_user instead)

Error Handling:
  - Returns "Error: Rate limit exceeded" if too many requests (429 status)
  - Returns "No users found matching '<query>'" if search returns empty`,
    inputSchema: UserSearchInputSchema,
    annotations: {
      readOnlyHint: true,
      destructiveHint: false,
      idempotentHint: true,
      openWorldHint: true
    }
  },
  async (params: UserSearchInput) => {
    try {
      // Input validation is handled by Zod schema
      // Make API request using validated parameters
      const data = await makeApiRequest<any>(
        "users/search",
        "GET",
        undefined,
        {
          q: params.query,
          limit: params.limit,
          offset: params.offset
        }
      );

      const users = data.users || [];
      const total = data.total || 0;

      if (!users.length) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `No users found matching 'params.query'`
          }]
        };
      }

      // Prepare structured output
      const output = {
        total,
        count: users.length,
        offset: params.offset,
        users: users.map((user: any) => ({
          id: user.id,
          name: user.name,
          email: user.email,
          ...(user.team ? { team: user.team } : {}),
          active: user.active ?? true
        })),
        has_more: total > params.offset + users.length,
        ...(total > params.offset + users.length ? {
          next_offset: params.offset + users.length
        } : {})
      };

      // Format text representation based on requested format
      let textContent: string;
      if (params.response_format === ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN) {
        const lines = [`# User Search Results: 'params.query'`, "",
          `Found total users (showing users.length)`, ""];
        for (const user of users) {
          lines.push(`## user.name (user.id)`);
          lines.push(`- **Email**: user.email`);
          if (user.team) lines.push(`- **Team**: user.team`);
          lines.push("");
        }
        textContent = lines.join("\n");
      } else {
        textContent = JSON.stringify(output, null, 2);
      }

      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: textContent }],
        structuredContent: output // Modern pattern for structured data
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: handleApiError(error)
        }]
      };
    }
  }
);
```

## Zod Schemas for Input Validation

Zod provides runtime type validation:

```typescript
import { z } from "zod";

// Basic schema with validation
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string()
    .min(1, "Name is required")
    .max(100, "Name must not exceed 100 characters"),
  email: z.string()
    .email("Invalid email format"),
  age: z.number()
    .int("Age must be a whole number")
    .min(0, "Age cannot be negative")
    .max(150, "Age cannot be greater than 150")
}).strict();  // Use .strict() to forbid extra fields

// Enums
enum ResponseFormat {
  MARKDOWN = "markdown",
  JSON = "json"
}

const SearchSchema = z.object({
  response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
    .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
    .describe("Output format")
});

// Optional fields with defaults
const PaginationSchema = z.object({
  limit: z.number()
    .int()
    .min(1)
    .max(100)
    .default(20)
    .describe("Maximum results to return"),
  offset: z.number()
    .int()
    .min(0)
    .default(0)
    .describe("Number of results to skip")
});
```

## Response Format Options

Support multiple output formats for flexibility:

```typescript
enum ResponseFormat {
  MARKDOWN = "markdown",
  JSON = "json"
}

const inputSchema = z.object({
  query: z.string(),
  response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
    .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
    .describe("Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable")
});
```

**Markdown format**:
- Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
- Convert timestamps to human-readable format
- Show display names with IDs in parentheses
- Omit verbose metadata
- Group related information logically

**JSON format**:
- Return complete, structured data suitable for programmatic processing
- Include all available fields and metadata
- Use consistent field names and types

## Pagination Implementation

For tools that list resources:

```typescript
const ListSchema = z.object({
  limit: z.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
  offset: z.number().int().min(0).default(0)
});

async function listItems(params: z.infer<typeof ListSchema>) {
  const data = await apiRequest(params.limit, params.offset);

  const response = {
    total: data.total,
    count: data.items.length,
    offset: params.offset,
    items: data.items,
    has_more: data.total > params.offset + data.items.length,
    next_offset: data.total > params.offset + data.items.length
      ? params.offset + data.items.length
      : undefined
  };

  return JSON.stringify(response, null, 2);
}
```

## Character Limits and Truncation

Add a CHARACTER_LIMIT constant to prevent overwhelming responses:

```typescript
// At module level in constants.ts
export const CHARACTER_LIMIT = 25000;  // Maximum response size in characters

async function searchTool(params: SearchInput) {
  let result = generateResponse(data);

  // Check character limit and truncate if needed
  if (result.length > CHARACTER_LIMIT) {
    const truncatedData = data.slice(0, Math.max(1, data.length / 2));
    response.data = truncatedData;
    response.truncated = true;
    response.truncation_message =
      `Response truncated from data.length to truncatedData.length items. ` +
      `Use 'offset' parameter or add filters to see more results.`;
    result = JSON.stringify(response, null, 2);
  }

  return result;
}
```

## Error Handling

Provide clear, actionable error messages:

```typescript
import axios, { AxiosError } from "axios";

function handleApiError(error: unknown): string {
  if (error instanceof AxiosError) {
    if (error.response) {
      switch (error.response.status) {
        case 404:
          return "Error: Resource not found. Please check the ID is correct.";
        case 403:
          return "Error: Permission denied. You don't have access to this resource.";
        case 429:
          return "Error: Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before making more requests.";
        default:
          return `Error: API request failed with status error.response.status`;
      }
    } else if (error.code === "ECONNABORTED") {
      return "Error: Request timed out. Please try again.";
    }
  }
  return `Error: Unexpected error occurred: String(error)`;
}
```

## Shared Utilities

Extract common functionality into reusable functions:

```typescript
// Shared API request function
async function makeApiRequest<T>(
  endpoint: string,
  method: "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "DELETE" = "GET",
  data?: any,
  params?: any
): Promise<T> {
  try {
    const response = await axios({
      method,
      url: `API_BASE_URL/endpoint`,
      data,
      params,
      timeout: 30000,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json"
      }
    });
    return response.data;
  } catch (error) {
    throw error;
  }
}
```

## Async/Await Best Practices

Always use async/await for network requests and I/O operations:

```typescript
// Good: Async network request
async function fetchData(resourceId: string): Promise<ResourceData> {
  const response = await axios.get(`API_URL/resource/resourceId`);
  return response.data;
}

// Bad: Promise chains
function fetchData(resourceId: string): Promise<ResourceData> {
  return axios.get(`API_URL/resource/resourceId`)
    .then(response => response.data);  // Harder to read and maintain
}
```

## TypeScript Best Practices

1. **Use Strict TypeScript**: Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json
2. **Define Interfaces**: Create clear interface definitions for all data structures
3. **Avoid `any`**: Use proper types or `unknown` instead of `any`
4. **Zod for Runtime Validation**: Use Zod schemas to validate external data
5. **Type Guards**: Create type guard functions for complex type checking
6. **Error Handling**: Always use try-catch with proper error type checking
7. **Null Safety**: Use optional chaining (`?.`) and nullish coalescing (`??`)

```typescript
// Good: Type-safe with Zod and interfaces
interface UserResponse {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  team?: string;
  active: boolean;
}

const UserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  name: z.string(),
  email: z.string().email(),
  team: z.string().optional(),
  active: z.boolean()
});

type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;

async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
  const data = await apiCall(`/users/id`);
  return UserSchema.parse(data);  // Runtime validation
}

// Bad: Using any
async function getUser(id: string): Promise<any> {
  return await apiCall(`/users/id`);  // No type safety
}
```

## Advanced MCP Features

### Resource Registration

Expose data as resources for efficient, URI-based access:

```typescript
import { ResourceTemplate } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js";

// Register a resource with URI template
server.registerResource(
  {
    uri: "file://documents/{name}",
    name: "Document Resource",
    description: "Access documents by name",
    mimeType: "text/plain"
  },
  async (uri: string) => {
    // Extract parameter from URI
    const match = uri.match(/^file:\/\/documents\/(.+)$/);
    if (!match) {
      throw new Error("Invalid URI format");
    }

    const documentName = match[1];
    const content = await loadDocument(documentName);

    return {
      contents: [{
        uri,
        mimeType: "text/plain",
        text: content
      }]
    };
  }
);

// List available resources dynamically
server.registerResourceList(async () => {
  const documents = await getAvailableDocuments();
  return {
    resources: documents.map(doc => ({
      uri: `file://documents/doc.name`,
      name: doc.name,
      mimeType: "text/plain",
      description: doc.description
    }))
  };
});
```

**When to use Resources vs Tools:**
- **Resources**: For data access with simple URI-based parameters
- **Tools**: For complex operations requiring validation and business logic
- **Resources**: When data is relatively static or template-based
- **Tools**: When operations have side effects or complex workflows

### Transport Options

The TypeScript SDK supports two main transport mechanisms:

#### Streamable HTTP (Recommended for Remote Servers)

```typescript
import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js";
import express from "express";

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

app.post('/mcp', async (req, res) => {
  // Create new transport for each request (stateless, prevents request ID collisions)
  const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
    sessionIdGenerator: undefined,
    enableJsonResponse: true
  });

  res.on('close', () => transport.close());

  await server.connect(transport);
  await transport.handleRequest(req, res, req.body);
});

app.listen(3000);
```

#### stdio (For Local Integrations)

```typescript
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";

const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
```

**Transport selection:**
- **Streamable HTTP**: Web services, remote access, multiple clients
- **stdio**: Command-line tools, local development, subprocess integration

### Notification Support

Notify clients when server state changes:

```typescript
// Notify when tools list changes
server.notification({
  method: "notifications/tools/list_changed"
});

// Notify when resources change
server.notification({
  method: "notifications/resources/list_changed"
});
```

Use notifications sparingly - only when server capabilities genuinely change.

## Code Best Practices

### Code Composability and Reusability

Your implementation MUST prioritize composability and code reuse:

1. **Extract Common Functionality**:
   - Create reusable helper functions for operations used across multiple tools
   - Build shared API clients for HTTP requests instead of duplicating code
   - Centralize error handling logic in utility functions
   - Extract business logic into dedicated functions that can be composed
   - Extract shared markdown or JSON field selection & formatting functionality

2. **Avoid Duplication**:
   - NEVER copy-paste similar code between tools
   - If you find yourself writing similar logic twice, extract it into a function
   - Common operations like pagination, filtering, field selection, and formatting should be shared
   - Authentication/authorization logic should be centralized

## Building and Running

Always build your TypeScript code before running:

```bash
# Build the project
npm run build

# Run the server
npm start

# Development with auto-reload
npm run dev
```

Always ensure `npm run build` completes successfully before considering the implementation complete.

## Quality Checklist

Before finalizing your Node/TypeScript MCP server implementation, ensure:

### Strategic Design
- [ ] Tools enable complete workflows, not just API endpoint wrappers
- [ ] Tool names reflect natural task subdivisions

# Python MCP Server Implementation Guide

## Overview

This document provides Python-specific best practices and examples for implementing MCP servers using the MCP Python SDK. It covers server setup, tool registration patterns, input validation with Pydantic, error handling, and complete working examples.

---

## Quick Reference

### Key Imports
```python
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, field_validator, ConfigDict
from typing import Optional, List, Dict, Any
from enum import Enum
import httpx
```

### Server Initialization
```python
mcp = FastMCP("service_mcp")
```

### Tool Registration Pattern
```python
@mcp.tool(name="tool_name", annotations={...})
async def tool_function(params: InputModel) -> str:
    # Implementation
    pass
```

---

## MCP Python SDK and FastMCP

The official MCP Python SDK provides FastMCP, a high-level framework for building MCP servers. It provides:
- Automatic description and inputSchema generation from function signatures and docstrings
- Pydantic model integration for input validation
- Decorator-based tool registration with `@mcp.tool`

**For complete SDK documentation, use WebFetch to load:**
`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/main/README.md`

## Server Naming Convention

Python MCP servers must follow this naming pattern:
- **Format**: `{service}_mcp` (lowercase with underscores)
- **Examples**: `github_mcp`, `jira_mcp`, `stripe_mcp`

The name should be:
- General (not tied to specific features)
- Descriptive of the service/API being integrated
- Easy to infer from the task description
- Without version numbers or dates

## Tool Implementation

### Tool Naming

Use snake_case for tool names (e.g., "search_users", "create_project", "get_channel_info") with clear, action-oriented names.

**Avoid Naming Conflicts**: Include the service context to prevent overlaps:
- Use "slack_send_message" instead of just "send_message"
- Use "github_create_issue" instead of just "create_issue"
- Use "asana_list_tasks" instead of just "list_tasks"

### Tool Structure with FastMCP

Tools are defined using the `@mcp.tool` decorator with Pydantic models for input validation:

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, ConfigDict
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP

# Initialize the MCP server
mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp")

# Define Pydantic model for input validation
class ServiceToolInput(BaseModel):
    '''Input model for service tool operation.'''
    model_config = ConfigDict(
        str_strip_whitespace=True,  # Auto-strip whitespace from strings
        validate_assignment=True,    # Validate on assignment
        extra='forbid'              # Forbid extra fields
    )

    param1: str = Field(..., description="First parameter description (e.g., 'user123', 'project-abc')", min_length=1, max_length=100)
    param2: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, description="Optional integer parameter with constraints", ge=0, le=1000)
    tags: Optional[List[str]] = Field(default_factory=list, description="List of tags to apply", max_items=10)

@mcp.tool(
    name="service_tool_name",
    annotations={
        "title": "Human-Readable Tool Title",
        "readOnlyHint": True,     # Tool does not modify environment
        "destructiveHint": False,  # Tool does not perform destructive operations
        "idempotentHint": True,    # Repeated calls have no additional effect
        "openWorldHint": False     # Tool does not interact with external entities
    }
)
async def service_tool_name(params: ServiceToolInput) -> str:
    '''Tool description automatically becomes the 'description' field.

    This tool performs a specific operation on the service. It validates all inputs
    using the ServiceToolInput Pydantic model before processing.

    Args:
        params (ServiceToolInput): Validated input parameters containing:
            - param1 (str): First parameter description
            - param2 (Optional[int]): Optional parameter with default
            - tags (Optional[List[str]]): List of tags

    Returns:
        str: JSON-formatted response containing operation results
    '''
    # Implementation here
    pass
```

## Pydantic v2 Key Features

- Use `model_config` instead of nested `Config` class
- Use `field_validator` instead of deprecated `validator`
- Use `model_dump()` instead of deprecated `dict()`
- Validators require `@classmethod` decorator
- Type hints are required for validator methods

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, field_validator, ConfigDict

class CreateUserInput(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(
        str_strip_whitespace=True,
        validate_assignment=True
    )

    name: str = Field(..., description="User's full name", min_length=1, max_length=100)
    email: str = Field(..., description="User's email address", pattern=r'^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$')
    age: int = Field(..., description="User's age", ge=0, le=150)

    @field_validator('email')
    @classmethod
    def validate_email(cls, v: str) -> str:
        if not v.strip():
            raise ValueError("Email cannot be empty")
        return v.lower()
```

## Response Format Options

Support multiple output formats for flexibility:

```python
from enum import Enum

class ResponseFormat(str, Enum):
    '''Output format for tool responses.'''
    MARKDOWN = "markdown"
    JSON = "json"

class UserSearchInput(BaseModel):
    query: str = Field(..., description="Search query")
    response_format: ResponseFormat = Field(
        default=ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN,
        description="Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable"
    )
```

**Markdown format**:
- Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
- Convert timestamps to human-readable format (e.g., "2024-01-15 10:30:00 UTC" instead of epoch)
- Show display names with IDs in parentheses (e.g., "@john.doe (U123456)")
- Omit verbose metadata (e.g., show only one profile image URL, not all sizes)
- Group related information logically

**JSON format**:
- Return complete, structured data suitable for programmatic processing
- Include all available fields and metadata
- Use consistent field names and types

## Pagination Implementation

For tools that list resources:

```python
class ListInput(BaseModel):
    limit: Optional[int] = Field(default=20, description="Maximum results to return", ge=1, le=100)
    offset: Optional[int] = Field(default=0, description="Number of results to skip for pagination", ge=0)

async def list_items(params: ListInput) -> str:
    # Make API request with pagination
    data = await api_request(limit=params.limit, offset=params.offset)

    # Return pagination info
    response = {
        "total": data["total"],
        "count": len(data["items"]),
        "offset": params.offset,
        "items": data["items"],
        "has_more": data["total"] > params.offset + len(data["items"]),
        "next_offset": params.offset + len(data["items"]) if data["total"] > params.offset + len(data["items"]) else None
    }
    return json.dumps(response, indent=2)
```

## Error Handling

Provide clear, actionable error messages:

```python
def _handle_api_error(e: Exception) -> str:
    '''Consistent error formatting across all tools.'''
    if isinstance(e, httpx.HTTPStatusError):
        if e.response.status_code == 404:
            return "Error: Resource not found. Please check the ID is correct."
        elif e.response.status_code == 403:
            return "Error: Permission denied. You don't have access to this resource."
        elif e.response.status_code == 429:
            return "Error: Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before making more requests."
        return f"Error: API request failed with status {e.response.status_code}"
    elif isinstance(e, httpx.TimeoutException):
        return "Error: Request timed out. Please try again."
    return f"Error: Unexpected error occurred: {type(e).__name__}"
```

## Shared Utilities

Extract common functionality into reusable functions:

```python
# Shared API request function
async def _make_api_request(endpoint: str, method: str = "GET", **kwargs) -> dict:
    '''Reusable function for all API calls.'''
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.request(
            method,
            f"{API_BASE_URL}/{endpoint}",
            timeout=30.0,
            **kwargs
        )
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
```

## Async/Await Best Practices

Always use async/await for network requests and I/O operations:

```python
# Good: Async network request
async def fetch_data(resource_id: str) -> dict:
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.get(f"{API_URL}/resource/{resource_id}")
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()

# Bad: Synchronous request
def fetch_data(resource_id: str) -> dict:
    response = requests.get(f"{API_URL}/resource/{resource_id}")  # Blocks
    return response.json()
```

## Type Hints

Use type hints throughout:

```python
from typing import Optional, List, Dict, Any

async def get_user(user_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    data = await fetch_user(user_id)
    return {"id": data["id"], "name": data["name"]}
```

## Tool Docstrings

Every tool must have comprehensive docstrings with explicit type information:

```python
async def search_users(params: UserSearchInput) -> str:
    '''
    Search for users in the Example system by name, email, or team.

    This tool searches across all user profiles in the Example platform,
    supporting partial matches and various search filters. It does NOT
    create or modify users, only searches existing ones.

    Args:
        params (UserSearchInput): Validated input parameters containing:
            - query (str): Search string to match against names/emails (e.g., "john", "@example.com", "team:marketing")
            - limit (Optional[int]): Maximum results to return, between 1-100 (default: 20)
            - offset (Optional[int]): Number of results to skip for pagination (default: 0)

    Returns:
        str: JSON-formatted string containing search results with the following schema:

        Success response:
        {
            "total": int,           # Total number of matches found
            "count": int,           # Number of results in this response
            "offset": int,          # Current pagination offset
            "users": [
                {
                    "id": str,      # User ID (e.g., "U123456789")
                    "name": str,    # Full name (e.g., "John Doe")
                    "email": str,   # Email address (e.g., "john@example.com")
                    "team": str     # Team name (e.g., "Marketing") - optional
                }
            ]
        }

        Error response:
        "Error: <error message>" or "No users found matching '<query>'"

    Examples:
        - Use when: "Find all marketing team members" -> params with query="team:marketing"
        - Use when: "Search for John's account" -> params with query="john"
        - Don't use when: You need to create a user (use example_create_user instead)
        - Don't use when: You have a user ID and need full details (use example_get_user instead)

    Error Handling:
        - Input validation errors are handled by Pydantic model
        - Returns "Error: Rate limit exceeded" if too many requests (429 status)
        - Returns "Error: Invalid API authentication" if API key is invalid (401 status)
        - Returns formatted list of results or "No users found matching 'query'"

## Advanced FastMCP Features

### Context Parameter Injection

FastMCP can automatically inject a `Context` parameter into tools for advanced capabilities like logging, progress reporting, resource reading, and user interaction:

```python
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP, Context

mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp")

@mcp.tool()
async def advanced_search(query: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
    '''Advanced tool with context access for logging and progress.'''

    # Report progress for long operations
    await ctx.report_progress(0.25, "Starting search...")

    # Log information for debugging
    await ctx.log_info("Processing query", {"query": query, "timestamp": datetime.now()})

    # Perform search
    results = await search_api(query)
    await ctx.report_progress(0.75, "Formatting results...")

    # Access server configuration
    server_name = ctx.fastmcp.name

    return format_results(results)

@mcp.tool()
async def interactive_tool(resource_id: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
    '''Tool that can request additional input from users.'''

    # Request sensitive information when needed
    api_key = await ctx.elicit(
        prompt="Please provide your API key:",
        input_type="password"
    )

    # Use the provided key
    return await api_call(resource_id, api_key)
```

**Context capabilities:**
- `ctx.report_progress(progress, message)` - Report progress for long operations
- `ctx.log_info(message, data)` / `ctx.log_error()` / `ctx.log_debug()` - Logging
- `ctx.elicit(prompt, input_type)` - Request input from users
- `ctx.fastmcp.name` - Access server configuration
- `ctx.read_resource(uri)` - Read MCP resources

### Resource Registration

Expose data as resources for efficient, template-based access:

```python
@mcp.resource("file://documents/{name}")
async def get_document(name: str) -> str:
    '''Expose documents as MCP resources.

    Resources are useful for static or semi-static data that doesn't
    require complex parameters. They use URI templates for flexible access.
    '''
    document_path = f"./docs/{name}"
    with open(document_path, "r") as f:
        return f.read()

@mcp.resource("config://settings/{key}")
async def get_setting(key: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
    '''Expose configuration as resources with context.'''
    settings = await load_settings()
    return json.dumps(settings.get(key, {}))
```

**When to use Resources vs Tools:**
- **Resources**: For data access with simple parameters (URI templates)
- **Tools**: For complex operations with validation and business logic

### Structured Output Types

FastMCP supports multiple return types beyond strings:

```python
from typing import TypedDict
from dataclasses import dataclass
from pydantic import BaseModel

# TypedDict for structured returns
class UserData(TypedDict):
    id: str
    name: str
    email: str

@mcp.tool()
async def get_user_typed(user_id: str) -> UserData:
    '''Returns structured data - FastMCP handles serialization.'''
    return {"id": user_id, "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com"}

# Pydantic models for complex validation
class DetailedUser(BaseModel):
    id: str
    name: str
    email: str
    created_at: datetime
    metadata: Dict[str, Any]

@mcp.tool()
async def get_user_detailed(user_id: str) -> DetailedUser:
    '''Returns Pydantic model - automatically generates schema.'''
    user = await fetch_user(user_id)
    return DetailedUser(**user)
```

### Lifespan Management

Initialize resources that persist across requests:

```python
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

@asynccontextmanager
async def app_lifespan():
    '''Manage resources that live for the server's lifetime.'''
    # Initialize connections, load config, etc.
    db = await connect_to_database()
    config = load_configuration()

    # Make available to all tools
    yield {"db": db, "config": config}

    # Cleanup on shutdown
    await db.close()

mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp", lifespan=app_lifespan)

@mcp.tool()
async def query_data(query: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
    '''Access lifespan resources through context.'''
    db = ctx.request_context.lifespan_state["db"]
    results = await db.query(query)
    return format_results(results)
```

### Transport Options

FastMCP supports two main transport mechanisms:

```python
# stdio transport (for local tools) - default
if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

# Streamable HTTP transport (for remote servers)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run(transport="streamable_http", port=8000)
```

**Transport selection:**
- **stdio**: Command-line tools, local integrations, subprocess execution
- **Streamable HTTP**: Web services, remote access, multiple clients

---

## Code Best Practices

### Code Composability and Reusability

Your implementation MUST prioritize composability and code reuse:

1. **Extract Common Functionality**:
   - Create reusable helper functions for operations used across multiple tools
   - Build shared API clients for HTTP requests instead of duplicating code
   - Centralize error handling logic in utility functions
   - Extract business logic into dedicated functions that can be composed
   - Extract shared markdown or JSON field selection & formatting functionality

2. **Avoid Duplication**:
   - NEVER copy-paste similar code between tools
   - If you find yourself writing similar logic twice, extract it into a function
   - Common operations like pagination, filtering, field selection, and formatting should be shared
   - Authentication/authorization logic should be centralized

### Python-Specific Best Practices

1. **Use Type Hints**: Always include type annotations for function parameters and return values
2. **Pydantic Models**: Define clear Pydantic models for all input validation
3. **Avoid Manual Validation**: Let Pydantic handle input validation with constraints
4. **Proper Imports**: Group imports (standard library, third-party, local)
5. **Error Handling**: Use specific exception types (httpx.HTTPStatusError, not generic Exception)
6. **Async Context Managers**: Use `async with` for resources that need cleanup
7. **Constants**: Define module-level constants in UPPER_CASE

Act as a Web Developer specializing in responsive and visually captivating web applications. You are tasked with creating a web app for a tattoo studio that allows users to book appointments seamlessly on both mobile and desktop devices.

Your task is to:
- Develop a user-friendly interface with a modern, tattoo-themed design.
- Implement a booking system where users can select available dates and times and input their name, surname, phone number, and a brief description for their appointment.
- Ensure that the admin can log in and view all appointments.
- Design the UI to be attractive and engaging, utilizing animations and modern design techniques.
- Consider the potential need to send messages to users via WhatsApp.
- Ensure the application can be easily deployed on platforms like Vercel, Netlify, Railway, or Render, and incorporate a database for managing bookings.

Rules:
- Use technologies suited for both mobile and desktop compatibility.
- Prioritize a design that is both functional and aesthetically aligned with tattoo art.
- Implement security best practices for user data management.

You are an expert ethical penetration tester specializing in web application security. You currently have full access to the source code of the project open in this editor (including backend, frontend, configuration files, API routes, database schemas, etc.).

Your task is to perform a comprehensive source code-assisted (gray-box/white-box) penetration test analysis on this web application. Base your analysis on the actual code, dependencies, configuration files, and architecture visible in the project.

Do not require a public URL — analyze everything from the source code, package managers (package.json, composer.json, pom.xml, etc.), environment files, Dockerfiles, CI/CD configs, and any other files present.

Conduct the analysis following OWASP Top 10 (2021 or latest), OWASP ASVS, OWASP Testing Guide, and best practices. Structure your response as a professional penetration test report with these sections:

1. Executive Summary
   - Overall security posture and risk rating (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
   - Top 3-5 most critical findings
   - Business impact

2. Project Overview (from code analysis)
   - Tech stack (frontend, backend, database, frameworks, libraries)
   - Architecture (monolith, microservices, SPA, SSR, etc.)
   - Authentication method (JWT, sessions, OAuth, etc.)
   - Key features (user roles, payments, file upload, API, admin panel, etc.)

3. Configuration & Deployment Security
   - Security headers implementation (or lack thereof)
   - Environment variables and secrets management (.env files, hard-coded keys)
   - Server/framework configurations (debug mode, error handling, CORS)
   - TLS/HTTPS enforcement
   - Dockerfile and container security (USER, exposed ports, base image)

4. Authentication & Session Management
   - Password storage (hashing algorithm, salting)
   - JWT implementation (signature verification, expiration, secrets)
   - Session/cookie security flags (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite)
   - Rate limiting, brute-force protection
   - Password policy enforcement

5. Authorization & Access Control
   - Role-based or policy-based access control implementation
   - Potential IDOR vectors (user IDs in URLs, file paths)
   - Vertical/horizontal privilege escalation risks
   - Admin endpoint exposure

6. Input Validation & Injection Vulnerabilities
   - SQL/NoSQL injection risks (raw queries vs. ORM usage)
   - Command injection (exec, eval, shell commands)
   - XSS risks (unsafe innerHTML, lack of sanitization/escaping)
   - File upload vulnerabilities (mime check, path traversal)
   - Open redirects

7. API Security
   - REST/GraphQL endpoint exposure and authentication
   - Rate limiting on APIs
   - Excessive data exposure (over-fetching)
   - Mass assignment vulnerabilities

8. Business Logic & Client-Side Issues
   - Potential logic flaws (price tampering, race conditions)
   - Client-side validation reliance
   - Insecure use of localStorage/sessionStorage
   - Third-party library risks (known vulnerabilities in dependencies)

9. Cryptography & Sensitive Data
   - Hard-coded secrets, API keys, tokens
   - Weak cryptographic practices
   - Sensitive data logging

10. Dependency & Supply Chain Security
    - Outdated or vulnerable dependencies (check package-lock.json, yarn.lock, etc.)
    - Known CVEs in used libraries

11. Findings Summary Table
    - Vulnerability | Severity | File/Location | Description | Recommendation

12. Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
    - Critical/High issues → fix immediately
    - Medium → next sprint
    - Low → ongoing improvements

13. Conclusion & Security Recommendations

Highlight any file paths or code snippets (with line numbers if possible) when referencing issues. If something is unclear or a file is missing, ask for clarification.

This analysis is for security improvement and educational purposes only.

Now begin the code review and generate the report.

You are the "X App Architect," the lead technical project manager for the Pomodoro web application created by Y. You have full access to the project's file structure, code history, and design assets within this Google Antigravity environment.

**YOUR GOAL:**
I will provide you with a "Draft Idea" or a "Rough Feature Request." Your job is to analyze the current codebase and the project's strict Visual Identity, and then generate a **Perfected Prompt** that I can feed to a specific "Worker Agent" (either a Design Agent or a Coding Agent) to execute the task flawlessly on the first try.

**PROJECT VISUAL IDENTITY (STRICT ADHERENCE REQUIRED):**
* **Background:** A
* **Accents:** B
* **Shapes:**C
* **Typography:** D
* **Vibe:** E
**HOW TO GENERATE THE PERFECTED PROMPT:**
1.  **Analyze Context:** Look at the existing file structure. Which files need to be touched? (e.g., `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`).
2.  **Define Constraints:** If it's a UI task, specify the exact CSS classes or colors to match existing elements. If it's logic, specify the variable names currently in use.
3.  **Output Format:** Provide a single, copy-pasteable block of text.

**INPUT STRUCTURE:**
I will give you:
1.  **Target Agent:** (Designer or Coder)
2.  **Draft Idea:** (e.g., "Add a settings modal.")

**YOUR OUTPUT STRUCTURE:**
You must return ONLY the optimized prompt in a code block, following this template:

[START OF PROMPT FOR target_agent]
Act as an expert role. You are working on the Pomodoro app.
**Context:** We need to implement feature.
**Files to Modify:** list_specific_files_based_on_actual_project_structure.
**Technical Specifications:**
* {Specific instruction 1 - e.g., "Use the .btn-primary class for consistency"}
* {Specific instruction 2 - e.g., "Ensure the modal has a backdrop-filter blur"}
**Task:** {Detailed step-by-step instruction}

You are a senior front-end web developer with strong expertise in Base64 image encoding, HTML rendering, and UI/UX design. Create a single-page, fully client-side web application using pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript only (preferably in one HTML file, no backend, no external libraries) with a modern, fully responsive, dark black theme. The site must correctly convert images (JPG/PNG/WEBP) to Base64 and ensure the output works in any HTML editor preview, meaning the app must provide both the raw Base64 Data URL and a ready-to-use HTML <img> tag output (e.g. <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,..." />) so that pasting the HTML snippet into an editor visually renders the image instead of showing plain text. Include two main flows: Image to Base64 (upload or drag-and-drop image, instant in-app preview, correct MIME detection, copy buttons, optional download as .txt) and Base64 to Image Preview (users paste a Data URL or raw Base64, click a Preview button, and see the image rendered, with automatic MIME correction and clear validation errors). The header must display the title “Convert images ↔ Base64 with HTML-ready output”, and directly underneath it show “prompts.chat” in bold, phosphor green color, linking to https://promts.chat. The footer must replace any default text with “2026” in bold, phosphor green, linking to https://promts.chat . The overall UI should be dark black, while all primary buttons use a dark orange color with subtle glow/hover effects, smooth transitions, rounded cards, clear section separation (tabs or cards), accessible contrast, copy-success feedback, handling of very long Base64 strings without freezing, and perfect usability across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
