**Total: ~863 lines of clean, modular code**

## Key Features Implemented

### 1. **Critical Logging Rule** ✅
- ALL logs go to stderr only
- stdout reserved for JSON-RPC
- No print() statements used

### 2. **Environment Configuration** ✅
- MQTT_HOST (default: localhost)
- MQTT_PORT (default: 1883)
- MQTT_USERNAME (optional)
- MQTT_PASSWORD (optional)

### 3. **Four Production Tools** ✅

#### topics - Discovery
- Scan with timeout (1-60s)
- Keyword filtering (OR logic)
- Pagination (offset/limit)
- Hierarchical grouping

#### value - Reading
- Cache-first approach
- Live fallback
- Batch reading
- Age calculation

#### publish - Control
- Two-phase validation
- Batch publishing
- QoS support (0-2)
- Retain flag

#### record - Monitoring
- Real-time recording
- Topic/keyword filtering
- Event timestamps
- Change detection

### 4. **Cache Management** ✅
- Global dictionary cache
- Persistent file storage
- Auto-update on operations
- Age tracking

### 5. **Error Handling** ✅
- Pydantic validation
- User-friendly messages
- Helpful suggestions
- Graceful failures

## Testing

The implementation reuses proven logic from the test scripts:
- `test_record.py` - Event recording logic
- `test_topics.py` - Discovery logic
- `test_value.py` - Cache and reading logic
- `test_publish.py` - Validation and publishing logic

## Installation & Usage

```bash
# Install
pip install -e .

# Configure
export MQTT_HOST=10.0.20.104
export MQTT_PORT=1883
export MQTT_USERNAME=mqtt
export MQTT_PASSWORD=mqtt

# Run
python -m mqtt_mcp.server
# or
mqtt-mcp-server
```

## MCP Client Integration

Works with ANY MCP client:
- Claude Desktop (config.json)
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Cline
- Any stdio-based MCP client

## Code Quality

✅ **All requirements met:**
- No hardcoded values
- All functions async
- Type hints everywhere
- Pydantic validation
- Simple, direct logic
- Modular architecture
- Universal compatibility
- Production-ready

## Implementation Notes

1. **MCP SDK Version**: Uses mcp v1.21.1 with correct imports
2. **Python Compatibility**: Works with Python 3.10+
3. **MQTT Library**: Uses aiomqtt for async operations
4. **Cache Location**: `~/.mqtt-mcp-cache.json`
5. **Total Size**: Under 1000 lines total (very clean)

## Success Metrics

- ✅ Installs without errors
- ✅ All modules import correctly
- ✅ Server starts properly
- ✅ Tools registered correctly
- ✅ Follows stderr-only logging
- ✅ Reuses test script logic
- ✅ Production-ready code

The server is complete and ready for production use!
