# MCP FastAPI Integration Phase 2: Completion Summary

## Overview

**Phase**: MCP FastAPI Integration Phase 2
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**
**Date**: 2026-01-30
**Goal**: Unify MCP and FastAPI authentication to use the same OAuth/Bearer tokens

## Objectives Achieved

### 1. ✅ Created MCP HTTP Router

**File**: `src/tracertm/api/routers/mcp.py`

Implemented comprehensive HTTP endpoints for MCP communication:

- **POST /api/v1/mcp/messages** - JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint for MCP method calls
- **GET /api/v1/mcp/sse** - Server-Sent Events endpoint for streaming responses
- **GET /api/v1/mcp/tools** - Tool discovery endpoint (list all available tools)
- **OPTIONS /api/v1/mcp/messages** - CORS preflight support
- **GET /api/v1/mcp/health** - Health check endpoint

All endpoints use `Depends(auth_guard)` for authentication.

**Key Features**:
- JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol support
- Proper error handling with JSON-RPC error format
- User context injection from auth claims
- SSE streaming with heartbeat
- Comprehensive request/response models

### 2. ✅ Updated MCP Auth for Dual Transport

**File**: `src/tracertm/mcp/auth.py`

Enhanced `build_auth_provider()` to support transport-specific authentication:

```python
def build_auth_provider(transport: str = "stdio") -> AuthProvider | None:
    """Build auth provider based on transport mode.

    - transport="stdio": Returns WorkOS + static key auth provider
    - transport="http": Returns None (FastAPI handles auth)
    """
```

**Transport Modes**:
- **STDIO**: Traditional MCP with WorkOS auth provider + static dev keys
- **HTTP**: Auth disabled at MCP layer (FastAPI's `auth_guard` handles it)

### 3. ✅ Updated MCP Core for Transport Modes

**File**: `src/tracertm/mcp/core.py`

Enhanced MCP server initialization to support transport parameter:

- `build_mcp_server(transport="stdio")` - Build server with transport-specific auth
- `create_mcp_server(transport)` - Factory function for creating servers
- Default STDIO mode for backward compatibility

### 4. ✅ Mounted MCP Router in FastAPI

**File**: `src/tracertm/api/main.py`

Integrated MCP router into FastAPI application:

```python
from tracertm.api.routers import mcp

# MCP router (Model Context Protocol over HTTP)
app.include_router(mcp.router, prefix="/api/v1")
```

Router is mounted at `/api/v1/mcp/` with all CORS and middleware support.

### 5. ✅ Implemented Context Injection

**File**: `src/tracertm/api/deps.py`

Enhanced `auth_guard` to set user context variables:

```python
def auth_guard(request: Request) -> dict:
    """Authenticate and set user context."""
    claims = verify_token(token)

    # Set context for RLS
    if claims.get("sub"):
        current_user_id.set(claims["sub"])

    # Set account context
    if claims.get("org_id") or claims.get("account_id"):
        current_account_id.set(account_id)

    return claims
```

**Context Variables**:
- `current_user_id`: Set from `claims["sub"]`
- `current_account_id`: Set from `claims["org_id"]`

### 6. ✅ Created Integration Tests

**File**: `tests/integration/test_mcp_http_auth.py`

Comprehensive test suite covering:

1. ✅ Valid Bearer token (200 OK)
2. ✅ Missing token (401 Unauthorized)
3. ✅ Invalid token (401 Unauthorized)
4. ✅ User context injection
5. ✅ RLS verification
6. ✅ CORS preflight
7. ✅ JSON-RPC error format
8. ✅ SSE endpoint authentication
9. ✅ Same token for REST + MCP endpoints

**Test Classes**:
- `TestMCPHTTPAuth`: Core authentication tests
- `TestMCPToolExecution`: Tool execution with user context

### 7. ✅ Created Documentation

**File**: `docs/integration/MCP_HTTP_AUTH_INTEGRATION.md`

Comprehensive documentation including:
- Architecture overview
- Implementation details
- Usage examples (curl commands)
- Security considerations
- Configuration guide
- Troubleshooting guide
- API reference
- Migration guide from STDIO to HTTP

## Verification

### Verification Script

**File**: `scripts/verify_mcp_http_integration.py`

Automated verification script that checks:

1. ✅ All imports work correctly
2. ✅ Router endpoints are properly defined
3. ✅ Auth integration is implemented
4. ✅ Transport modes work as expected
5. ✅ User context injection is implemented
6. ✅ FastAPI integration is complete

**Result**: 🎉 All verification checks passed!

### Manual Testing

Test the implementation manually:

```bash
# Health check (no auth)
curl http://localhost:4000/api/v1/mcp/health

# List tools (with auth)
curl -X GET http://localhost:4000/api/v1/mcp/tools \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

# Call tool via JSON-RPC
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/v1/mcp/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "project_manage",
      "arguments": {"action": "list", "kind": "project"}
    },
    "id": 1
  }'
```

## Authentication Flow

```
Client Request with Bearer Token
    ↓
FastAPI Middleware (AuthenticationMiddleware)
    ↓ [Extract token from Authorization header]
FastAPI Dependency (auth_guard)
    ↓ [Verify token via TokenBridge]
    ↓ [Extract claims (sub, org_id)]
    ↓ [Set current_user_id context var]
    ↓ [Set current_account_id context var]
MCP Router Endpoint
    ↓ [Read user context from context vars]
MCP Tool Execution
    ↓ [Execute with user context]
Database Query
    ↓ [RLS filters based on current_user_id]
Response
```

## Key Benefits

### 1. Unified Authentication
- Same Bearer token works for REST API and MCP endpoints
- No need to manage separate auth for MCP
- Consistent security across all endpoints

### 2. User Context & RLS
- User context automatically set from token
- Database queries filtered by user ID (Row-Level Security)
- Proper multi-tenancy isolation

### 3. Flexible Transport
- STDIO mode for CLI/desktop clients
- HTTP mode for web/mobile clients
- Same tools available in both modes

### 4. Standards-Based
- JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol
- OAuth/JWT Bearer tokens
- OpenAPI/Swagger documentation

4. `src/tracertm/api/deps.py` - Enhanced auth_guard with context injection

## Security Considerations

### Token Verification
- Uses TokenBridge (supports RS256 WorkOS + HS256 service tokens)
- Validates token signature and expiration
- Extracts user claims (sub, org_id)

### User Context & RLS
- Context variables set per-request
- Automatically cleaned up by asyncio contextvars
- Database RLS enforces user isolation

### CORS
- Configurable origins via CORS_ORIGINS
- Preflight support for POST endpoints
- Credentials allowed for authenticated requests

## Next Steps

### Immediate (Phase 3)
- [ ] Add WebSocket transport for real-time MCP
- [ ] Implement rate limiting per-user for MCP endpoints
- [ ] Add audit logging for MCP tool calls

### Future Enhancements
- [ ] Caching layer for tool discovery
- [ ] Batch tool execution support
- [ ] GraphQL endpoint for MCP
- [ ] MCP client SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Go)

## Known Limitations

1. **SSE Connection Limit**: Default SSE implementation uses keep-alive heartbeat every 30s. Consider using WebSocket for long-lived connections.

2. **Tool Discovery**: `/api/v1/mcp/tools` returns all tools. Future enhancement: filter tools based on user permissions.

3. **Error Handling**: JSON-RPC errors always return HTTP 200 (per spec). Check `error` field in response for actual errors.

4. **Context Cleanup**: Context variables are automatically cleaned by asyncio, but explicit cleanup in finally blocks would be safer.
