# BigKinds Network Analysis MCP Tool Implementation

## Overview

This document describes the implementation of the BigKinds network/relationship analysis visualization API as an MCP tool.

## Implementation Summary

### 1. Authentication Layer

**File**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/src/bigkinds_mcp/core/async_client.py`

Added login functionality to `AsyncBigKindsClient`:

```python
async def login(self, user_id: str | None = None, password: str | None = None) -> bool:
    """
    BigKinds에 로그인하여 인증 세션 획득.

    환경변수 BIGKINDS_USER_ID, BIGKINDS_USER_PASSWORD에서 자동 로드.
    """
```

**Features**:
- Session-based authentication using httpx AsyncClient
- Automatic cookie management
- Tries multiple login endpoints (`/api/account/signin.do`, `/api/account/signin2023.do`)
- Uses environment variables for credentials (`.env` file)

**Authentication Flow**:
1. Visit main page to initialize session
2. POST login credentials to signin API
3. Receive session cookie (`Bigkinds`, `NCPVPCLBTG`, `LAB_SSO_COOKIE`)
4. Use authenticated session for visualization APIs

### 2. Network Analysis API

**File**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/src/bigkinds_mcp/core/async_client.py`

```python
async def get_network_analysis(
    self,
    keyword: str,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
    max_news_count: int = 1000,
    result_no: int = 100,
    normalization: int = 10,
    section_div: int = 1000,
    is_tm_usable: bool = True,
    is_not_tm_usable: bool = False,
    provider_code: str = "",
    category_code: str = "",
    incident_code: str = "",
) -> dict[str, Any]:
```

**API Endpoint**: `POST /news/getNetworkDataAnalysis.do`

**Request Parameters**:
- `keyword`: 검색 키워드
- `startDate`, `endDate`: 검색 기간 (YYYY-MM-DD)
- `maxNewsCount`: 분석할 최대 뉴스 수 (50, 100, 200, 500, 1000)
- `resultNo`: 표시할 노드 수
- `normalization`: 노드 크기 정규화 값
- `sectionDiv`: 섹션 구분
- `isTmUsable`: TM(Text Mining) 사용 여부
- `providerCode`, `categoryCode`: 필터 옵션

**Response Structure**:
```javascript
{
  nodes: [
    {
      id: string,              // 노드 ID
      title: string,           // 표시명
      label_ne: string,        // 개체명
      category: string,        // PERSON, ORGANIZATION, LOCATION, KEYWORD
      weight: number,          // 가중치
      node_size: number,       // 노드 크기
      larm_knowledgebase_sn: string,
      kb_use_yn: string,
      kb_service_id: string
    }
  ],
  links: [
    {
      from: string,            // 출발 노드 ID
      to: string,              // 도착 노드 ID
      weight: number           // 관계 가중치
    }
  ],
  newsIds: string[],           // 관련 뉴스 ID 목록
  newsList: [...],             // 뉴스 상세 목록
}
```

### 3. MCP Tool Wrapper

**File**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/src/bigkinds_mcp/tools/visualization.py`

```python
async def get_network_analysis(
    keyword: str,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
    max_news_count: int = 1000,
    result_no: int = 100,
    normalization: int = 10,
    providers: list[str] | None = None,
    categories: list[str] | None = None,
) -> dict:
```

**Enhanced Response**:
```javascript
{
  success: bool,
  keyword: string,
  date_range: string,
  nodes: [...],                // 원본 노드 목록
  links: [...],                // 원본 링크 목록
  news_ids: string[],
  total_nodes: number,
  total_links: number,
  total_news: number,
  nodes_by_category: {         // 카테고리별 노드 수
    "PERSON": number,
    "ORGANIZATION": number,
    "LOCATION": number,
    "KEYWORD": number
  },
  top_entities: {              // 상위 5개 개체
    person: [{name, weight}],
    organization: [{name, weight}],
    location: [{name, weight}],
    keyword: [{name, weight}]
  }
}
```

**Features**:
- Automatic login on first call
- Caching (10분 TTL)
- Entity categorization
- Top entities extraction
- User-friendly error messages

### 4. Server Registration

**File**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/src/bigkinds_mcp/server.py`

```python
@mcp.tool()
async def get_network_analysis(
    keyword: str,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
    max_news_count: int = 1000,
    result_no: int = 100,
    normalization: int = 10,
    providers: list[str] | None = None,
    categories: list[str] | None = None,
) -> dict:
```

Tool is registered and available in the MCP server.

      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds",
        "run",
        "bigkinds-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage Examples

### Basic Usage

```python
result = await get_network_analysis(
    keyword="AI",
    start_date="2024-12-01",
    end_date="2024-12-10"
)
```

### With Filters

```python
result = await get_network_analysis(
    keyword="삼성",
    start_date="2024-12-01",
    end_date="2024-12-15",
    max_news_count=500,
    result_no=50,
    providers=["경향신문", "한겨레"],
    categories=["경제"]
)
```

### Response Handling

```python
if result["success"]:
    print(f"총 {result['total_nodes']}개 노드, {result['total_links']}개 링크")

    # 상위 인물
    for entity in result["top_entities"]["person"][:5]:
        print(f"{entity['name']}: {entity['weight']}")

    # 카테고리별 통계
    for category, count in result["nodes_by_category"].items():
        print(f"{category}: {count}개")
else:
    print(f"오류: {result['error']}")
```

## Testing

### Test Files

1. **Basic Test**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/tests/test_network_analysis.py`
   ```bash
   uv run python tests/test_network_analysis.py
   ```

2. **Debug Test**: `/Users/sdh/Dev/01_active_projects/bigkinds/tests/test_network_debug.py`
   ```bash
   uv run python tests/test_network_debug.py
   ```

### Test Results

```
✅ Login successful
✅ API endpoint accessible (200 OK)
⚠️  Empty response (no nodes/links returned)
```

**Note**: The network analysis API returns empty results even with valid credentials. This could indicate:
- Premium/paid feature restriction
- Minimum data requirements not met
- API requires additional parameters we haven't discovered
- Service temporarily unavailable

The **keyword trends** and **related keywords** APIs work successfully and return data.

## Additional Visualization APIs

The implementation also includes:

### 1. Keyword Trends API

```python
async def get_keyword_trends(
    keyword: str,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
    interval: int = 1,  # 1: daily, 2: weekly, 3: monthly, 4: yearly
    ...
) -> dict
```

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/analysis/keywordTrends.do`

### 2. Related Keywords API

```python
async def get_related_keywords(
    keyword: str,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
    max_news_count: int = 100,
    result_number: int = 50,
    ...
) -> dict
```

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/analysis/relationalWords.do`

## Known Issues

### 1. Empty Network Analysis Response

**Issue**: Network analysis API returns `{}` (empty object)

**Tested Scenarios**:
- Different keywords (AI, 삼성, 윤석열)
- Various date ranges (1 day to 15 days)
- Different news counts (100 to 1000)
- With/without filters

**All scenarios returned empty responses despite successful authentication.**

**Possible Causes**:
1. **Premium Feature**: Network analysis may require paid subscription
2. **Account Limitation**: Free accounts may have restricted access
3. **Missing Parameters**: Undocumented required parameters
4. **Service Status**: Feature temporarily disabled

**Recommendation**: Contact BigKinds support to verify network analysis API availability.

### 2. API Documentation Gaps

**Issue**: Official API documentation is limited

**Impact**:
- Parameter requirements unclear
- Response structure not fully documented
- Error codes not specified

**Workaround**: Reverse-engineered from browser network traffic

### Cache Strategy

```python
# Generic cache with TTL
MCPCache._generic_cache = TTLCache(maxsize=1000, ttl=600)  # 10분

# Cache key generation
cache_key = f"network_{hash(str(params))}"

# Automatic cache invalidation after TTL
```

## Security Considerations

### 1. Credentials Storage

- ✅ Credentials stored in `.env` file (gitignored)
- ✅ Environment variables for deployment
- ❌ No encryption at rest (OS-level protection only)

### 2. Session Management

- ✅ Session cookies auto-managed by httpx
- ✅ Cookies not persisted to disk
- ⚠️  No automatic session refresh (manual re-login required)

### 3. HTTPS

- ⚠️  SSL verification disabled (`verify=False`)
- Reason: BigKinds API has SSL certificate issues
- Risk: Man-in-the-middle attacks possible

## Performance

### Latency

- **Login**: ~1-2 seconds (first call only)
- **Network Analysis API**: ~2-5 seconds
- **Cached Response**: <10ms

### Rate Limiting

- No official rate limits documented
- Conservative delay: 0.5s between requests (from base client)
- Caching reduces API calls significantly

### Memory

- Cache max size: 1000 items per cache type
- Estimated memory: ~10-50MB depending on response sizes
- Automatic LRU eviction when full

## Future Enhancements

### 1. Additional Visualization Tools

- [ ] Topic clustering analysis
- [ ] Sentiment analysis over time
- [ ] Provider comparison dashboard
- [ ] Entity timeline tracking

### 2. Error Handling

- [ ] Automatic session refresh on 401
- [ ] Retry logic with exponential backoff
- [ ] Better error messages with troubleshooting hints

### 3. Performance

- [ ] Response streaming for large datasets
- [ ] Persistent cache (Redis/SQLite)
- [ ] Background cache warming

### 4. Features

- [ ] Export to graph formats (GraphML, GEXF)
- [ ] Interactive graph visualization
- [ ] Relationship strength calculation
- [ ] Community detection algorithms
