# Global MCP Server Architecture - Complete

## 🎯 Architecture Overview

Synqed now supports a **single global MCP server** that all agents can use, regardless of where they're running. This enables true cloud-scale MCP integration.

## 🔑 Key Components

### 1. **Global MCP Server** (`synqed_mcp/server_cloud.py`)

Single cloud instance that:
- Exposes MCP tools via HTTP (FastAPI)
- Bridges MCP tool calls to A2A tasks
- Supports multiple concurrent clients
- Uses centralized tool registry

**Endpoints**:
- `GET /`: Health check
- `GET /mcp/tools`: List available tools
- `POST /mcp/call_tool`: Execute a tool

**Starting the server**:
```bash
python -m synqed_mcp

# Or with custom config:
SYNQ_MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 SYNQ_MCP_PORT=8080 python -m synqed_mcp
```

### 2. **MCP Client Implementations** (`synqed_mcp/client.py`)

Two implementations behind unified interface:

#### **LocalMCPClient** (Dev Mode)
- Calls A2AClient directly in-process
- No network overhead
- Perfect for development and testing

#### **RemoteMCPClient** (Cloud Mode)
- Calls global MCP server via HTTP
- Used in production
- All agents share the same server instance

**Auto-selection via factory**:
```python
client = create_mcp_client(
    agent_name="myagent",
    a2a_client=a2a_client,  # for local mode
    tool_registry=registry   # for local mode
)
# Automatically picks Local or Remote based on SYNQ_MCP_MODE
```

### 3. **Global Tool Registry** (`synqed_mcp/registry.py`)

Single source of truth for all MCP tools:

```python
GLOBAL_TOOL_REGISTRY = {
    "salesforce.query_leads": {
        "agent": "salesforce",
        "task_type": "query_leads",
        "description": "query salesforce leads with soql"
    },
    "zoom.create_meeting": {
        "agent": "zoom",
        "task_type": "create_meeting",
        "description": "create a zoom meeting"
    },
    # ... more tools
}
```

**Functions**:
- `get_tool_registry()`: Get all tools
- `get_tool_config(tool_name)`: Get specific tool
- `register_tool()`: Dynamically add tools
- `list_tools_by_agent()`: Get tools for an agent

### 4. **MCP Injection Middleware** (Updated)

Now supports both modes automatically:

```python
mcp_middleware = create_mcp_middleware(
    router=router,
    a2a_client=a2a_client,  # required for local mode
    mode=None  # auto-detect from SYNQ_MCP_MODE
)

mcp_middleware.attach(agent)  # Works in both modes!
```

---

## 🔄 Two Modes

### **Local Mode** (Default - Development)

**How it works**:
1. MCP client calls in-process
2. No network round-trip
3. A2AClient executes agents directly
4. Fast, simple, perfect for dev

**Usage**:
```bash
# Just run the demo
python universal_mcp_demo.py
```

**Architecture**:
```
Agent → context.mcp (LocalMCPClient) → A2AClient → Target Agent
```

### **Cloud Mode** (Production)

**How it works**:
1. Global MCP server running separately
2. All agents use RemoteMCPClient
3. HTTP requests to single endpoint
4. Server bridges to A2A internally
5. Multiple agents/runtimes share same server

**Usage**:
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start global MCP server
python -m synqed_mcp

# Terminal 2: Run agents in cloud mode
SYNQ_MCP_MODE=cloud \
SYNQ_MCP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8080 \
python universal_mcp_demo.py
```

**Architecture**:
```
Agent → context.mcp (RemoteMCPClient) → HTTP → Global MCP Server
  → A2A Bridge → MessageRouter → Target Agent
```

## 📋 Environment Variables

| Variable | Values | Default | Description |
|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
| `SYNQ_MCP_MODE` | `local`, `cloud` | `local` | MCP client mode |
| `SYNQ_MCP_ENDPOINT` | URL | - | Cloud server endpoint (required for cloud mode) |
| `SYNQ_MCP_HOST` | IP/hostname | `0.0.0.0` | Server bind address |
| `SYNQ_MCP_PORT` | Port number | `8080` | Server bind port |

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Local Development

```bash
# Run demo in local mode (default)
python universal_mcp_demo.py
```

### 2. Cloud Deployment

```bash
# Step 1: Start global MCP server
python -m synqed_mcp
# Server listening on http://0.0.0.0:8080

# Step 2: Deploy agents anywhere, pointing to server
SYNQ_MCP_MODE=cloud \
SYNQ_MCP_ENDPOINT=http://mcp.synq.cloud \
python your_agent.py
```

### 3. Mixed Environment

```bash
# Some agents local, some cloud - all work!
# Local agent:
python local_agent.py  # uses local mode

# Cloud agent:
SYNQ_MCP_MODE=cloud SYNQ_MCP_ENDPOINT=http://mcp.synq.cloud \
python cloud_agent.py  # uses cloud mode
```

```

## 🔧 Agent Code (Mode-Agnostic)

Agents work identically in both modes:

```python
async def my_agent_logic(context: AgentLogicContext):
    # context.mcp works in both local and cloud modes
    result = await context.mcp.call_tool(
        "other_agent.some_task",
        {"param": "value"}
    )
    return context.reply(f"Got: {result}")

# Setup (same for both modes)
agent = Agent(name="myagent", role="tools", logic=my_agent_logic)
router = MessageRouter()
a2a_client = A2AClient(router)
router.register_agent("myagent", agent)

# Middleware auto-selects mode from env
middleware = create_mcp_middleware(router, a2a_client)
middleware.attach(agent)

# Agent now has context.mcp (local or cloud - transparent!)
```

## 🔍 How It Works

### MCP Tool Call Flow (Cloud Mode)

```
1. Agent calls context.mcp.call_tool("zoom.create_meeting", {...})
   ↓
2. RemoteMCPClient sends HTTP POST to global server
   POST http://mcp.synq.cloud/mcp/call_tool
   {
     "tool": "zoom.create_meeting",
     "arguments": {...},
     "caller": "salesforce"
   }
   ↓
3. Global MCP Server receives request
   - Looks up tool in registry: zoom.create_meeting → (agent="zoom", task_type="create_meeting")
   - Creates AgentId for target agent
   ↓
4. Server bridges to A2A
   result = await a2a_client.send_task_and_wait(
     agent=AgentId("tools", "zoom"),
     task_type="create_meeting",
     payload={...}
   )
   ↓
5. A2AClient executes zoom agent
   - Routes via MessageRouter
   - Calls agent.logic(context)
   - Returns real response
   ↓
6. Server returns result to caller
   HTTP 200 {"status": "success", "join_url": "...", ...}
   ↓
7. RemoteMCPClient receives response
   ↓
8. Agent gets result
   zoom_result = {"status": "success", "join_url": "..."}
```

### MCP Tool Call Flow (Local Mode)

```
1. Agent calls context.mcp.call_tool("zoom.create_meeting", {...})
   ↓
2. LocalMCPClient looks up tool in local registry
   ↓
3. Calls A2AClient directly (in-process)
   result = await a2a_client.send_task_and_wait(...)
   ↓
4. A2AClient executes zoom agent
   ↓
5. Agent gets result immediately
```
